Abiotic stress, Common vetch, Gibberellic acid (GA), Germination
Common vetch is an annual legume plant widely cultivated all over the world. Salinity is one of the most important abiotic stress factors. Successful germination and seedling development are very important for obtaining high yield. The aim of this study was to determine the performance of different doses of gibrylic acid (GA) under saline conditions. In the study, control, 100 and 200 ppm giberylic acid and control, 5 and 10 EC salt were used. In the study, germination percentage, shoot and root length, wet and dry weight data were analysed. According to the results obtained, the highest germination percentage, shoot and root length and wet and dry weight were determined as 95.33%, 5.43 cm, 4.40 cm, 4.10 mg and 0.59 mg in 100 ppm control salt treatment, respectively. The lowest germination percentage was obtained in 200 ppm GA application in 10 EC salt application, the lowest shoot and root length was obtained in 10 EC salt and control GA application and the lowest wet and dry weight was obtained in 200 ppm GA and 10 EC salt application. As a result of the study, it was determined that Ga application at increasing salt doses reduced the damage of salt stress.
