Salicylic acid in the physiological priming of onion seeds subjected to water and salt stresses

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effect of physiological priming with salicylic acid on the mitigation of water and salt stresses on onion (Allium cepa L.) seeds. For this, seeds of onion, cultivar IPA 11, were soaked in salicylic acid solution (50 µM) for 24 h and placed to germinate at di...

description ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the effect of physiological priming with salicylic acid on the mitigation of water and salt stresses on onion (Allium cepa L.) seeds. For this, seeds of onion, cultivar IPA 11, were soaked in salicylic acid solution (50 µM) for 24 h and placed to germinate at different water and saline potentials. For water stress, the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design, in a 2 x 5 factorial scheme (salicylic acid with 0 and 50 µM and osmotic potentials of 0, -0.1, -0.2, -0.3, -0.4 MPa induced by polyethylene glycol 6000), with four repetitions of 50 seeds per plot. In salt stress, the adopted experimental design was completely randomized, with treatments distributed in a 2 x 4 factorial scheme (salicylic acid at concentrations of 0 and 50 µM and the osmotic potentials of 0, -0.3, -0.6 and -0.9 MPa induced by NaCl), in four repetitions of 50 seeds. For both experiments, germination, growth and accumulation of organic solutes were evaluated. Salicylic acid did not stimulate the germination of onion seeds in the absence of stress, but the application of 50 µM of salicylic acid increased the germination speed, growth and dry matter accumulation under conditions of water and salt stress. Onion plants were efficient in performing osmotic adjustment up to the potentials of -0.2 MPa induced by PEG 6000 under water stress and of -0.4 MPa induced by NaCl under salt stress.
