Abstract

DE LA ROSA, M et al. Germination of simojovel pepper seeds (Capsicum annuum L.) previously exposed to NaCl and gibberellic acid. Phyton (B. Aires) [online]. 2012, vol.81, n.2, pp.165-168. ISSN 1851-5657.

Simojovel pepper seeds were first treated with 0.5 M NaCl, and then put to germinate in solutions of gibberellic acid at diferent concentrations. Initially, seeds were either preconditioned or not with NaCl combined with 0, 100, 200, 300 or 400 mg/L gibberellic acid. In a second phase of the study, seeds preconditioned with NaCl were exposed to 0, 350, 400, 450 or 500 mg/L gibberellic acid. Experiments were arranged in a completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of 2 x 5 with four replications. Te greatest (p=0.01) germination percentage (91.75%) was obtained on seeds previously exposed to NaCl and treated with 350 mg/L gibberellic acid. Germination of Simojovel pepper significantly increased after preconditioning with NaCl combined with gibberellic acid.
