Interfering of pyridoxine with NaCl on bioactive compounds and enzyme activity of germinated watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris)
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 14
Abstract
In order to study the effect of pre treatment of watermelon seed (Triticum aestivum L.) by pyridoxine on germination and development characteristics of its herb as factorial in the frame of the plan was completely three times accidentally. Factors include pyridoxine with densities (witness), 0/01, 0/02 and NaCl was 0, 60 and 100 mM. Germinated seeds were counted daily for eight days. Then the percent of germination, germination speed, the average daily germination, the length of the shoot, root and the weight of dry plant and also the amount of catalase and peroxidase activity were measured. The results showed that pyridoxine affects on the percent of germination, germination speed, the average daily germination, the weight of dry plant, the length of the shoot and the root and the amount of catalase and peroxidase enzyme activity on the level of one percent (p>0/01) meaningfully. These results showed that NaCl on the percent of germination, the weight of dry plant, the length of the shoot and the root, the amount of catalase and peroxidase enzyme activity on the level of one percent (p>0/01) have meaningful effects but it doesn’t have meaningful effect on the average daily germination and in other word the effect of pyridoxine and NaCl on the all measured characteristics on the level of one percent probability (p>0/01). To sum up, the results showed that pre treatment seed by the pyridoxine can help the farmers in setting and producing suitable watermelon plant.
