“…The current study yielded similar findings, and increasing chlorophyll contents were observed with increasing salt stress. The results of the current study are parallel to the findings of Sivritepe et al (2005) on melon (cv. Kirkagac) plants.…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the physiological impact of seed priming on improving the salt tolerance of tomato cultivars H-2274 and Rio Grande. Tomato seeds were primed with 5 M NaCl solution at 20 °C for 3 days in a dark environment. The seeds of the control treatments were handled in a similar way, using tap water instead of NaCl solution. After the priming procedure, seeds were washed and sown in standard germination trays. From each treatment group, 21 homogeneous seedlings were transplanted into 10-L pots full of turf for subsequent salinity experiments. In order to avoid osmotic shock, the volume of the applied NaCl solutions (0 mM, 100 mM, and 200 mM NaCl) was increased from 30 mL/day to 50 mL/day after 5 days. As a major physiological parameter, the chlorophyll content was evaluated 3 times during the experimental phase. Furthermore, the mineral compositions (Na, K, Ca, and Mg) of the leaves as well as the content of soluble sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose) were evaluated at the end of the experiment. Consequently, it was found that seed priming with NaCl may provide a good alternative to reduce salinity-induced stress in tomato plants.

“…Reduction in shoot fresh and dry weights in response to salt stress has been reported for other crops, such as cucumber (Van de Sanden and Veen, 1992), strawberry (Awang et al, 1993), eggplant (Chartzoulaki and Loupassaki, 1997), broadbean (De Pascale and Barbieri, 1997, pepper (Chartzoulakis and Klapaki 2000), melon (Sivritepe et al, 2005), tomato (Yurtseven et al, 2005), watermelon (Yu-feng, 2006), and okra (Ünlükara et al, 2008).…”

In this study, the effects of different salinity levels (0, "control", 2, 4, 8, and 12 dS m -1 ) on seedling growth of Obez, RS 841 and Ferro F 1 pumpkin varieties, widely used around the world as rootstock, were investigated. Seedlings grown under saline conditions were investigated for plant main stem length, plant length, root length, shoot length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, shoot fresh weight, shoot dry weights and ion concentrations (Ca ++ , K + , Na + ) in the leaves of pumpkin varieties. The results revealed that root length, shoot length, root fresh weight, root dry weight, shoot fresh weight and shoot dry weights tend to decrease when the electrical conductivity of the solution is increased. Results indicated that these varieties responded different to some investigated parameters under saline conditions.

“…tomato, muskmelon, cucumber, etc) (e.g. Sivritepe et al, 2003Sivritepe et al, , 2005. Based on literature review, Cuartero & Fernandez-Munoz (1999) recommended priming in 1 M NaCl for 36 hours in the case of direct sowing, and for seedlings conditioning in moderately saline solution or by withholding water for 20-24 hours, although specific duration and concentrations should be adapted to a particular crop.…”
