“…VI is considered a particularly informative index, as it combines germination data with shoot and root length, allowing a comprehensive estimate of the health status of developing seedlings. For this reason, VI is frequently used to determine whether a plant can achieve normal development or is losing vigor (Fina et al 2016). The VI data from the present study further underlines the effectiveness of duckweed extract at a concentration of 0.50% as a plant biostimulant.…”

Biostimulants are receiving increasing attention for their beneficial effects on crops, driving interest in identifying new plant extracts that could exert such stimulatory effects. This work aimed to evaluate the potential of an aqueous extract obtained from duckweed (Lemna minor L.), a freshwater species, to act as a biostimulant in maize. For this purpose, duckweed plants were collected from a natural basin and then transferred, stabilized, and grown under controlled conditions. The duckweed extract was first characterized through untargeted profiling, which revealed an abundance of bioactive phytochemicals. A relatively high amount of low-molecular-weight secondary metabolites such as phenolics (6714.99 mg kg−1) and glucosinolates (4563.74 mg kg−1) were present in the plant extract. Maize seeds were primed with different concentrations of this extract (0.01%, 0.05%, 0.50%, and 1.00%, dry weight/water volume), and some physiological and biochemical traits of the crop were recorded. The duckweed extract improved maize germination, biomass, leaf area, pigment content, and vigor index. The most effective treatment was the 0.50% concentration, which improved the majority of the measured growth traits. The extract at concentrations of 0.05%, 0.50%, and 1.00% stimulated the assimilation of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu). In summary, this study revealed that duckweed is a promising species that can be cultured and grown under controlled conditions for obtaining extracts with biostimulant properties.

| Environmental pollutants are considered harmful not only to humans but to flora and fauna. Fluoride present in the soil, water or even in the atmosphere may adversely affect plants and ultimately cause serious negative consequences on the development, growth and maturity of crops. In this regard, this study was conducted to examine the possible health effect of fluoride pollution in the form of sodium fluoride on the growth and physiological parameters of cotton plant. The cotton plants were grown in the pots. Six different concentrations of fluoride (3mg/L to 15mg/L) along with water as control were used periodically. At both harvests, maximum growth and physiological functions were recorded at 0mg/L treatment while, reduction was recorded at 15mg/L.

Morpho-Physiological Responses of Alamo Switchgrass During Germination and Early Seedling Stage Under Salinity or Water Stress Conditions

et al. 2018

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm perennial grass with valuable characteristics as a biofuel crop. To avoid competition with food crops, biofuel crops will be likely relegated to less productive soils such as marginal lands. Consequently, the salinity and water scarcity problems that commonly affect marginal lands, compromise biofuel crops germination, emergence and seedling establishment. The aims of this study were to study the germination and seedling growth of switchgrass under salinity and water stress, and to describe the morpho-anatomical responses of the roots and leaves in the seedlings to these stresses. The effect of salt and water stress was assessed using sodium chloride (NaCl) and polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG) at the same water potentials of-0.8,-1.0 and-1.2 MPa. Seeds were moist prechilled for 7 days at 5 ºC and germinated at 30ºC/15 ºC (8 h light/16 h dark). NaCl treatments (-0.8 and-1.0 MPa) delayed germination rates but did not reduce the final germination percentage, whereas at a lower potential (-1.2 MPa) the final germination percentage was diminished. The effects of PEG (-1.0 and-1.2 MPa) on the germination rate and final percentage, were more detrimental than those induced by iso-osmotic concentrations of NaCl. PEG and NaCl reduced significantly the vigor index of-0.8 to-1.2 MPa. The morpho-anatomical changes such as the reduction in the root cross-section area and the thickening of the endodermis walls for both stress conditions and aerenchyma formation in the cortex under salinity, could significantly contribute in the survival and tolerance during the early seedling stages.
