Notes: NPN: no priming and no stress; NPS: no priming and salt stress; GR: germination rate; GI: germination index; VI: vigor index; SL: shoot length; RL: root length; SFW: shoot fresh weight; RFW: root fresh weight; SDW: shoot dry weight; RDW: root dry weight. Different letters within a column indicate a significant difference at p < 0.05.
