Comparison of seed germination and recovery responses of a salt marsh Halophyte halopeplis perfoliata to osmotic and ionic treatments by Rasool S.G.

“…Highest seed germination was observed in distilled water under 12-h light photoperiod and reduction in osmotic potential of the solution decreased seed germination. However, some seeds of H. perfoliata could germinate in as low as -2.5 MPa (~600 mM NaCl), which is equivalent to seawater salinity. …”
