Toxicity produced by saline compounds in the process ofgermination of Lactuca sativa
Journal Title: Minerva Journal - Year 2020, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
In this work the results of the evaluation of toxicity in the germination and root growth processes of Lactuca sativa (Lettuce) due to the use of saline compounds (NaCl, KCl and K2SO4) are presented. Tests have been carried out on two types of seed species of Black and Red Lactuca sativa. For the process, the three saline media were inoculated at the same concentration and the seeds were incubated for a period of 6 days. After this period the length of the roots, number of germinated seeds in each saline medium was evaluated. It was shown that salinity influences germination differently for red and black seeds with reference to the control culture medium.
