Abstract
The experiment was carried out to study the effect of exogenous salicylic acid on the seed germination and seedling growth of watermelon under salt stress in culture dishes.The results showed that 300 mmol/L NaCl soaking significantly reduced the germination rate,germination vigor,germination index and vigor index,and radicle length and germ fresh weight of watermelon.Under salt stress,SA treatments below 1.0 mmol/L concentration obviously increased the seed germination and seeding growth of watermelon with increasing concentration;2.0 mmol/L SA soaking hadn't clearly influence on the seed germination and seeding growth of watermelon;3.0 mmol/L SA treatment furthertly reduced the seed germination and seeding growth of watermelon.The research illustrated that lower concentrations SA could relieve the inhibitive effect of salt stress on the seed germination and seeding growth of watermelon,1.0 mmol/L SA was most suitable for alleviating the salt stress damage of watermelon for germination period.
