Abstract:The objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological quality of commercial soybean seeds submitted to different concentrations of salicylic acid (SA), directly on germination paper and gerboxes for 24 hours. Seeds of cultivars NA 5909 RG and Tec Irga 6070 RR were soaked in salicylic acid solutions with concentrations of zero, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 μM. Seed imbibition occurred in two ways: (1) germination paper moistened with salicylic acid solutions; (2) imbibitio… Show more
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.
