Evaluate the Effects of Different Levels of Priming on Germination Characteristics, Seed Germination and Some Traits of Physiology of Fenugreek Medicinal Plant Fenugreek Under Salt Stress

In order to study priming on germination, growth and physiological characteristics of Isfahan mass of Fenugreek under salinity stress, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications at the Seed Technology Laboratory Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Shahed University in year 2017. The treatments consisted of 5 levels of priming (distilled water) and hydroperimizing distilled water for 24 hours, hydroperimizing distilled water for 48 hours, 3% potassium nitrate and 5% salicylic acid) and Salinity stress in four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 mM). The results of analysis of variance indicated significant effect of priming and salinity stress on germination, growth, photosynthetic pigmentation and proline content. The results of the comparison of the average effect of the interaction showed that on the germination percentage showed that hydroperiming with 150 mM slinity stress of 100%. According to the results of the comparison, the average of 24 hour hydroperimage in relative traits such as germination speed, shoot length, seedling length, chlorophyll content, carotenoid content and proline content in Indian mass with relative salinity increased compared to other levels. It seems that the herbaceous plant is resistant to stress and the use of hydropriming has improved the effect on the traits compared to other levels.
