Effects of Salicylic Acid Presoaking on Vigor and Salt Resistance of Capsicum frutescans L. Seed under NaCI Stress
Studied in this experiment was the effects of presoaking with salicylic acid(SA) of different concentrations on vigor and salt resistance of Capsicum frutescans L. seed under NaC1 Stress of 100 mmol/L. The results showed that salicylic acid of certain concentrations could alleviate salt injury, improve germination percentage and potentiality, protect membrane permeability of Capsicum frutescans L. seed, and reduce conductivity and malondialdehyde content of the seed leaching solu- tion, eliminate membrane lipids peroxide. But when the concentration of salicylic acid reaches beyond a certain level, it could inhibit germination of Capsicum frutescans L. seed, and increase conductivity and malondialdehyde content of the seed leaching solution.
