Effects of exogenous hydrogen sulfide on the germination and growth of maize seed under water stress
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: This paper studied effects of exogenous hydrogen sulfide on the germination of maize seed under water stress.The results showed that water stress significantly decreased the germinating rate,germinating energy,germinating index,vigour index,root length, plant height,number of lateral root,fresh weight of root and aboveground,and significantly increased the relative injury rate.Compared with water stress,pretreatment with exogenous hydrogen sulfide significantly increased the germinating rate,germinating energy, germinating index,vigour index,root length,plant height,fresh weight of root and aboveground,and significantly decreased the relative injury rate under water stress.However,pretreatment with exogenous hydrogen sulfide did not affect the number of lateral root of stressed maize.In conclusion,pretreatment with exogenous hydrogen sulfide could promote the germination and growth of maize under water stress.
