Germination variation in Arabidopsis thaliana accessions under moderate osmotic and salt stresses.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Water and salt stresses are two important environmental factors that limit the germination of seeds in most ecological environments. Most studies conducted so far to address the genetic basis of the above phenomenon have used stress conditions that are much more extreme than those found in natural environments. Furthermore, although an excess of ions and water restrictions have similar osmotic effects...
