dc.description.abstractThe effects of salt and ought stresses at the water potentials of 0, -2, -4, -6 and -8 bars induced by NaCl and PEG 6000 (polyethylene glycol 6000) each, on germination and early seedling growth, were investigated for 2 tomato cultivars (Super CH and Native Khorasan). Electrical conductivity (EC) values of the NaCl solutions were 4. 5, 8. 8, 12. 7 and 16. 3 ds m-1. Germination percentage, Germination rate, root and shoot length, seedling fresh and y weight and Radicle fresh and y weight were measured in the study. The objective was to determine genotypic differences among tomato cultivars in terms of salt and ought stress and to determine factors (salt toxicity or osmotic stress due to PEG) inhibiting seed germination. The germination results revealed that the genotypes significantly differed for salt and ought stress. Native cultivar gave higher values under ought stress, but Super CH appeared to be more tolerant to salt stress. Both NaCl and PEG inhibited germination and seedling growth in cultivars, but the effects of PEG compared to NaCl were less on germination and seedling growth. Tow cultivars were able to germinate at all NaCl levels with a significant decrease in germination, while a astic decrease in germination was recorded at -8 bars of NaCl.-
