Effect of Seed Priming With Bulk and Nanoparticle of Zinc Oxide on the Quality of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) Germination under Salinity Stress

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: rate Sodium chloride Objective mitigating influence of different priming durations on chickpea seed germination under conditions.Method design wit priming agent (1 hydrothird fac related to germination quality and seedling growth were subsequently assessed Results mean germination time, mean daily germination, and seedling vigor respective values at 0 and 80 mM NaCl were 98.7% vs. 68.4%,15.6 vs. 10.4 germinated seeds per day, 2.11 vs. 2.39 days, 12.3 vs. 8.56 seeds per day, and 5466 vs. 1853.Salini stress also significantly increased the root nm ZnO nanoparticles significantly increased seedling dry weight, shoot dry weight, root dry weight, and consequently, the seedling vigor index compared to other hydroto 20.7% under 80 mM NaCl.Priming durations of 12 and 24 h were superior to 6 h, resulting in a significant increase in seedling and shoot length, seed and the Conclusion growth characteristics and increased the proportion of abnormal seedlings.However, seed priming exerted a reducing the number of abnormal seedlings.Among the priming treatments, ZnO nanoparticles (1 enhancing seedling growth and future research and applications
