This study aims to examine the effects of saline-alkaline stress on germination and identify suitable halophyte species for crop improvement.
Used paper-based culture to examine germination of 9 halophytes under varying saline-alkaline stress conditions.
Analyzed germination and growth indices, categorizing halophytes into rapid and slow germination types.
Conducted correlation analysis between germination vigor, root development, and biomass.
Suaeda salsa exhibited the highest salt-alkali tolerance among the species tested.
Atriplex centralasiatica and Chenopodium quinoa showed significant fresh weight increases under moderate saline-alkaline stress compared to low stress.
Correlation analysis indicated that seed germination vigor positively correlates with root development and biomass accumulation.
