Table 3. Effect of salinity levels on germination traits of C. album.

NaCl concentration (NaCl) (mM)	Mean germination time (MGT) (days)		Germination index (GI)
0	3.82e (0.03)		12.90a (0.06)
50	4.81d (0.09)		9.53b (0.22)
100	6.01c (0.31)		7.18c (0.36)
150	8.07b (0.27)		5.03d (0.15)
200	8.40b (0.23)		2.41e (0.13)
250	10.00a (0.35)		0.15f (0.02)
300	-		-a
Source	D.F.	MGT	GI
NaCl	5	< 0.001***	< 0.001***

Note: All values are showed as mean (S.E.) (n = 8). Within a column for MGT and GI of each temperature, values followed by different letters are significantly different by least significant differences of Duncan’s new multiple range test.

*** means P < 0.001.

^a, seed were no germination at 300 mM; thus, MGT and GI could not be calculated.
