| Abstract |
Halophyte plant species are those that can finish their life cycle in the presence of 50% or more seawater concentration. Ethylene, as a natural plant hormone produced at later stages of seed germination, plays an important role in regulating seed germination. However, its regulatory role in seed dormancy and germination of halophyte plants under salt stress is still not well understood. In this chapter, we describe methods used for applications of two ethylene donors, ethephon and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid, in studies aimed at examining the effects of ethylene on seed germination of a representative halophyte plant Suaeda salsa under high salinity. Similar approaches can be applied to the study of ethylene and salt interactions in other plant species, when taking into account that salt sensitivities may differ. |
