Özet

In this study, it was investigated the effects of salt (NaCl) stress on germination and seedling development in varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Bezostaya), tomato (Lycopersicon lycopersicum cv. H55711), bean (Phaseolus vulgaris sp. sphearicus) and maize (Zea mays cv. Hido) cultivated in some zones of Turkey. For this aim, it was determined germination ratio and speed, fresh and dry weight, root and shoot length, and salt tolerance index in the plants completed germination and seedling development at different salt concentrations (0, 75, 150 ve 250 mM). Our results showed to be different the salt stress tolerance of the plant varieties studied. In addition, it was significantly inhibited the germination and seedling development in all of the varieties as depending on the increasing salt concentrations, and observed that the maize had the highest tolerance while the tomato had the lowest sensitivity in the plants according to the parameters studied.
