| description | <i>Abelmoschus esculentus</i> L. is a plant of legume origin; it is used in several areas of nutrition, industry and medicine. This study was proposed in order to understand the adaptation mechanisms of the seeds of this species under the effect of NaCl. Germination was monitored by varying the concentrations of NaCl saline solution (100 mM and 150 mM).The physiological parameters were determined by monitoring the capacity and speed of seed germination at a temperature of 25 °C. The monitoring of biometric parameters was carried out as follows: Calculation of the water content of sprouted okra seeds after one week and-evaluation of the radical length carried out by up-to-date measurements of the radical length of germinated seeds for one week. From the results obtained, it was noted that the cumulative rate of germinated seeds is estimated to be from 17.27% to 14.55% under the effect of 100 mM and 150 mM, respectively, as compared to 47.27% for the control seeds. In addition, it was observed that the treatment with 100 mM NaCl causes a decrease in the germination speed (23.58%) and a slight prolongation in time as compared to the control. On the other hand, the treatment with 150 mM induces a remarkable decrease in germination speed (13.96% versus 24.39%) and average time as compared to the control (2.9 days versus 4.1 days). Furthermore, the monitoring of biometric parameters highlights two essential points: the NaCl treatment limits the growth of seed radicals and reduces the water content of okra seeds as compared to the control. In light of these results, it is possible to conclude that treatment with sodium chloride has a detrimental effect on the germination and growth of <i>Abelmoschus esculentus</i> L. seeds. |
