Salinity is an increasing constraint in crop production. This abiotic stress has an impact on the life cycle of all plant species. It is well established that seed germination is vulnerable to soil salinity at a sowing depth of 1-5 cm. This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of NaCl on the germination performance of 10 exotic safflower lines (
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
