Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the impact of salinity stress and cytokinin application on quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) seed quality, germination behavior, and gene expression. Four quinoa cultivars with differing salinity tolerance were evaluated under varying salinity levels (0, 25, 40 dS m⁻¹) and cytokinin treatment (0 and 0.75 µM 6-BA). Seed germination was assessed under multiple water potentials, and the...
