Effect of ABA on germination of Suaeda salsa brown and black seeds under normal and salt stress conditions. (A) Germination percentage of brown and black seeds of S. salsa treated with 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, or 1000 mM NaCl solution. (B) Germination percentage of brown and black seeds of S. salsa at 3, 6, 12, and 24 h after imbibition in 0, 200, or 600 mM NaCl solution. (C) Germination percentage of brown and black seeds of S. salsa treated with 600 mM NaCl solution in the presence or absence of 10 μM fluridone. (D) Germination percentage of brown and black seeds of S. salsa treated with 0 or 200 mM NaCl solution in the presence of 10 μM fluridone and 1, 10, and 100 μM ABA. The brown and black seeds were treated with 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, or 1000 mM NaCl solution under continuous light at 22°C, and germination percentages were determined after 5 days of treatment. Percentage means and SE values (error bars) were calculated from the results of three independent experiments (n > 100 seeds/seed type/experiment). Asterisks indicate significant differences as determined by a Student’s t-test (∗∗∗P < 0.001).
