FIGURE 3.

Effect of increasing salinity on the germination percentage (A) and the time course of germination percentage under 100–200 mM NaCl (B) in halophytes and non-halophytes. Halophytes (solid lines): Suaeda japonica (Yokoishi and Tanimoto, 1994), Chloris virgata (Zhang et al., 2012), Kalidium capsicum (Tobe et al., 2000), Suaeda physophora (Song et al., 2005), Haloxylon persicum, Haloxylon ammodendron, Suaeda physophora (Song et al., 2005), and Suaeda salsa (Song et al., 2008). Non-halophytes (dotted lines): Cyperus conglomeratus (Keblawy et al., 2011), Oryza sativa (Jiang et al., 2013), Glycine max (Neves et al., 2005), Nigella sativa (Papastylianou et al., 2017), Cucumis melo (Sohrabikertabad et al., 2013), Impatiens balsamina (Jiang et al., 2014), and Arabidopsis thaliana (Wilson et al., 2014).
