“…Salinity is the most calamitous abiotic stress which limits the growth and yield of agricultural and horticultural crops worldwide (Charu et al 2014;Munns, 2005;Shahbaz and Ashraf, 2013). Salt stress causes a major reduction in plants growth (Paul, 2013), it alters almost the physiological and biochemical pathways in the plants (Nabati et al, 2011;Pitman and Läuchli, 2002).…”

This study investigates the effect of silicon (Si) application on saffron plantgrown under salt stress. Therefore; Saffron, Crocus sativus L. was grown in different treatments of NaCl in presence and absence of 1 mM of silicon in its soluble form, orthosilicic acid(H4SiO4). Our results exhibited that the application of silicon enhanced the physiologicalstudied parameters and morphological attributes of saffron stigmas; the length of stigma improvement was 29% and 41,4% in saline treatments of 50 mM and 100mM respectively in presence of silicon compared to the same treatments without silicon, the dry weight of the stigma boosted by 40% for the treatment of 50mM of NaCl and 20% for 100 mM treatments compared to the same treatments in absence ofsilicon. Siliconaddition ameliorated RWC, total phenolic,anti-radical leaves activity and K+ contents and K+/Na+ ration in both roots and leaves. These results suggested that Si application enhanced saffron plant and improved the weight and length of saffron stigma.

“…The main reason for the reduction in RL is that higher doses of boron inhibit root growth (Habtamu et al, 2014), primarily by limiting cell protraction and cell division (Brown et al, 2002). Increasing boron doses above 5 mM significantly reduced the FW of plants (Ayvaz et al, 2012;Mohammed et al 2013;Habtamu et al, 2014). Compared to the control application, there was a 27.80% increase in TB at the 5 mM boron, whereas higher doses caused 20.41% and 46.50% reduction, respectively (Table 5).…”

“…It was indicated that low boron increases the parameters, moreover, the others decrease the growth (Table 5 ). Also, Muhammad et al (2013) and Habtamu et al (2014) determined that high boron doses decreased the germination percentage. These results correlate with our study.…”

“…The SVI frequently reflected the establishment ability of the seedling during plant growth (Xia et al, 2020) In this experiment SL was reduced by 52.50 % and RL decreased by 65.71 % (Table 5). The main reason for the reduction in RL is that higher doses of boron inhibit root growth (Habtamu et al, 2014), primarily by limiting cell protraction and cell division (Brown et al, 2002).

The aim of study was to investigate the effects of boron on germination and seedling parameters of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] under drought stress conditions. The experiment was conducted in a factorial trial in a randomized plot design with four replication in a growth chamber. In this study, three different sorghum cultivars were used. Drought conditions were performed at three different levels using PEG (0.-0.4 MPa and -0.8 MPa). Four boron doses (0-5-10-15 mM B) solutions are formed as boric acid (H3BO3). Parameters measured in Gözde 80 were superior to other cultivars under drought stress conditions. The maximum mean germination time, seedling viability index, shoot and root length, shoot and root fresh weight, and total biomass, were detected as 4 days, 74%, 10 cm, 13 cm, 63 mg, 21 mg, and 80 mg, respectively. Differences were noted in the response of different sorghum cultivars to drought stress, and significant decreases were observed as the drought level increased. Low boron applications generally increased germination and seedling parameters compared to control under drought conditions. The boron effects applied to alleviate the drought stress effects have been noticeably positive. Compared to control conditions, the best results were also generally observed in the application of 5 mM B at a drought stress dose of -0.4 MPa. It was concluded that high doses of boron applications caused double stress with drought and were even lower than drought applications alone. It was recorded that due to the reasons listed above, careful attention should be paid to the boron doses to be applied.

“…Decrease in germination ratio started with 2.0 mg L -1 B dose and accelerated with increasing boron concentrations and reached to minimum at the greatest B dose (16.0 mg L -1 ) (pepper 51.89%, eggplant 50.18% and watermelon 53.06%). It was reported in previous studies that low B doses increased germination parameters and high doses negatively influenced germination parameters (Shah et al, 2013;Ashagre, 2014;Alamri et al, 2018). Boron toxicity reduced emergence ratios of maize, tomato and carrot (Banuelos et al, 2009) and increased number of unusual seedlings (Rerkasem and Jamjod, 1997).…”

Boron toxicity constitutes a limiting factor on seed germination. Salicylic acid-like plant growth regulators play an important role in alleviation the negative effects of boron stress. The research was carried out to determine the germination properties of seeds (pepper, eggplant, watermelon) with and without salicylic acid (SA) pre-application at different boron (B) concentrations. Experiments were conducted in randomized plots design with 4 replications. Seed germination percentage, mean germination time, germination index and germination energy values were determined under four different SA (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mM) and six different B (0, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 16.0 mg L -1 ) doses. The greatest germination percentage, index and energy values and the shortest mean germination time were obtained from 1.0 mg L -1 B dose, on the other hand, increasing B stress negatively influenced germination parameters. Especially at 4.0, 8.0 and 16.0 mg L -1 B stress, 1.0 mM SA supplemented into growing media increased germination parameters of all three vegetable species, reduced the negative effects of boron and positively influenced germination time. Present findings revealed that SA could be used as an efficient tool in alleviation of negative effects of boron toxicity. On the other hand, SA applications were not effective or had quite limited effects on non-B application or low B-application (< 1.0 mg L -1 ) seeds.
