INFLUENCE OF CUCUMBER SEED PRIMING WITH 5-AMINOLEVULINIC ACID ON SEED VIGOR AND PLANT DEVELOPMENT UNDER SALT STRESS
Abstract
The positive effect of cucumber seed biopriming with 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) on vigor, length of hypocotyl, length and weight of the roots, the content of chlorophyll a, b and carotenoids in plants grown under salt stress (50 mM NaCl), compared to seedlings not treated with ALA, has been demonstrated.
