“…These findings were in agreement with the results of Chartzaulakis and Klapaki (2000), Aktas et al (2006), Yıldırım and Güvenç (2006) and Zhani et al (2012) who found the adverse effects of salinity on seedling growth of pepper cultivars. Yılmaz et al (2004) emphasized seedling characteristics of pepper cultivars were severely deteriorated by salinity depending on growth stages.…”

“…The earlier researches on salinity tolerance of pepper showed that the germination and seedling growth were severely affected but the genotypic variation existed. Yılmaz et al (2004) reported that the germination performance of 11 pepper cultivars significantly reduced with the increasing of NaCl levels from 0 mM to 150 mM and Aktas et al (2006) determined salt-tolerant and salt-sensitive genotypes at seedling stage among 102 genotypes. This study aimed to determine the responses of pepper cultivars to NaCl during the germination by means of several indices and early seedling growth by vigor index and percent reduction, and to detect the genetic diversity in pepper cultivars for salinity tolerance.…”

“…It is more sensitive to salinity during germination and early seedling growth while some cultivars are more tolerant to salinity than the others (Chartzoulakis and Klapaki, 2000). Salinity is responsible for the reduction in germination and inhibition in the initial seedling development of the pepper (Yılmaz et al, 2004).…”

The study aimed to evaluate the use of germination indices as a screening tool for salinity tolerance during germination and early seedling growth of pepper cultivars, and to distinguish the potential for genetic responses to salt tolerance. In the study, the seeds of seven pepper cultivars were germinated at increasing NaCl levels of 5, 10, 15 and 20 dS/m and distilled water as the control treatment for 14 days. Germination percentage (GP), mean germination time (MGT), germination index (GI), germination stress tolerance index (GSTI), seedling length (SL), seedling fresh weight (SFW) and vigor index (VI) were investigated. Results showed that germination percentage decreased with increasing NaCl levels while the highest germination percentage at 20 dS/m was 92% in BT Burdem with no significant reduction. Seedling growth of pepper cultivars was severely inhibited by increasing salinity stress. SFW was depressed depending on reduction in SL due to increasing NaCl. BT-Burli and BT İnce Sivri were the most tolerant cultivars to NaCl and they were used for genetic resources towards salinity. Seedling growth was much more sensitive to salinity than germination because of the highest percent reduction in seedling growth parameters. Among the parameters, GSTI gave the highest significant correlation coefficient with SL and SFW; indicating that it would be useful for estimating seedling growth. It was concluded that genotypic variation was observed among pepper cultivars for salinity tolerance and GSTI could be used for a predictor for salinity tolerance.

“…Sweet pepper is one of the most significant vegetable crops, belongs to the Solanaceae family, and has a high importance in the exporting market. About 14% of sweet pepper fruit loss is attributed to increased salt levels (Yilmaz et al, 2004). Salt in soil or water is one of the most significant abiotic stresses; as a result, it is estimated that more than 6% of the world's land area is under salinity stress.…”

governorate, Egypt in 2020 and 2021 summer seasons on sweet pepper plants hyprid 1515. The study aims to investigate the effect of glycine betaine, chitosan and salicylic acid as foliar spray at concentrations of 2, 3 and 1 g/l, respectively to ameliorate the adverse effects of salt stress. The results demonstrated that all applied treatments greatly improved all growth parameters, including plant height, leaf area, fresh and dry weight, and mineral composition (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) and significantly reduced the impacts of salinity stress. Additionally, foliar spraying with glycine betaine, chitosan, and salicylic acid in this study increased total yield and average fruit weight compared to the control. Glycine betaine therapy outperformed all other treatments in terms of its favourable impact on plant growth, mineral content, average fruit weight, and overall yield. Chitosan treatment came in second. The salicylic acid therapy was shown to have the least beneficial effect. Contrarily, the control group of sweet pepper plants, which received no treatment, had the lowest values of the previous features.

“…Various crop plants, including maize, show diverse performance under salinity to reduce salinity or to persevere through their quality inside the cells by including numerous sorts of functional and biological changes. Use of salt-tolerant genotypes and recovery of the salt-affected soils are among the methods which can be used to expand the growth and yields from salt influenced soils (Blumwald et al, 2004;Yilmaz et al, 2004). The previous methodology isn't practicable because of vast salt-influenced regions, poor accessibility of better water, soil penetrability, and mind-boggling expense of corrections (Akhtar et al, 2010).…”

Soil salinization negatively influences crop plants worldwide. Stress conditions can defer plant development and improvement, lessen productivity, and in outrageous cases cause plant death. The biomass, morphology, homeostasis, and functioning of the plant are reduced under the influence of salt stress. High rates of the salts inside the plant tissues are toxic metabolically and can lead to a reduction in root and shoot weight, oxidative stress, production of ROS, and inhibition of photosynthesis. Maize is an important fodder crop grown worldwide. Nutritional imbalance, reduced seed germination, vegetative growth, and uptake of the nutrients have been noticed in maize crops as a result of salt accumulation. Seedling vigor, development, and stress resistance ability of the maize crop have been improved by nutritional management and an effective, simple, and receptive way known as seed priming. Soaking of seeds in water before sowing, i.e. hydropriming and use of different chemicals, i.e. osmopriming is being practiced in this regard. These seed priming methods facilitate the treated plants with resistance against salinity, early growth, vigorous plant stand, and uniform germination. So, this review paper investigates the effect of salinity on maize crops and the efficacy of osmo and hydro priming methods against abiotic stresses, especially soil salinization.
