Abstract:

Among the most common abiotic stresses that retard the development and growth of plants is salt stress. This study examined the impact of various salt levels (NaCl and Na2SO4) on the germination behaviour of sesame cultivars. Under various simulated salt concentrations (0.05M, 0.01M, 0.15M, 0.2M, 0.25M, 0.3M, 0.35M, 0.4M, and 0.5M), the degree of salinity tolerance of two sesame cultivars, viz., GT-10 and JTS-8 were assessed. The radicle, hypocotyl length, and fresh weight measurements were made separately after 96 and 144 hours. The results revealed that germination and seedling growth drastically decreased as the salt concentration increased. In comparison to GT-10, JTS-8 exhibits greater tolerance to different NaCl concentrations and greater sensitivity to varying Na2SO4 concentrations.
