A laboratory experiment was conducted on germination papers to study the effect of fluoride (F) at 0 (T1), 50 (T2), 100 (T3), 200 (T4), 250 (T5) and 300 (T6) ppm on germination and morphological parameters in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety, HUW-234 at 2, 4 and 6 days after initiation of germination process. Fluoride toxicity caused reduction in germination per cent, germination index, coefficient of velocity of germination and germination energy (%) while mean germination time increased with fluoride concentration. Root and shoot lengths and dry matters decreased with increased concentrations of fluoride. Ratio of root: shoot weight increased with increased concentration of fluoride. Elongation of seminal roots was adversely affected by increased fluoride level. Increased fluoride level in the germination medium decreased RGR of seedlings progressively. Present study revealed that enhanced fluoride concentration in germination medium caused reduction in germination and germination related parameters.

Seven bacterial strains belonging to the genus Bacillus were isolated from rhizosphere soil of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Katepwa. The plants from which the microorganisms were isolated were collected from a field that had been continuously cropped with spring wheat for the past 27 years. Cultivar Katepwa had been grown for the last 5 years whereas the closely related cv. Neepawa had been cultivated for the 12 previous years. When tested as single strain inoculum in a sterilized sand and Turface (montmorillonite clay) mix, six of seven isolates promoted root growth of cv. Katepwa spring wheat (p < 0.05), but none promoted that of cv. Neepawa or of the more distant genetic relative cv. HY320. Shoot height was also increased in cv. Katepwa (p < 0.1), but shoot weight of all three cultivars was unaffected by inoculation. Consequently, the root to shoot weight ratio of cv. Katepwa was also greater because of bacterization. These results indicate that beneficial bacteria may be isolated by employing a natural plant cultivar enrichment technique.

Biotic and abiotic stress effects the crop yield badly every year. In the abiotic factors the drought, heat and salinity are the major stress for crops which are cultivated in Pakistan. Cultivated area are decreasing rapidly because the construction of new buildings, towns and population food demand increasing. There is only one way to fulfill the requirements of population by development stress tolerance genotypes. Two different varieties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. with AABBDD genome and 6x= 42) i.e. Faisalabad 2008 and Galaxy 2013 were used to evaluate the effect of halopriming along with hydropriming to observe germination parameters and early growth stages. The experiment was conducted in factorial structured treatments design with three replications at Department of Seed Science and Technology, University of Agriculture Faisalabad. For halopriming seeds were soaked in 0.5% KCl, 1% KCl, 1.5% KCl and in distilled water for 6-8 hours. The results showed that final emergence percentage of priming seeds with 1% KCl of Faisalabad 2008 had higher percentage of germination than other treatments. However, for time to start germination there was no difference among KCl priming and hydropriming for both the varieties.   For mean germination time, priming seeds with 1.5% KCl of Faisalabad 2008 showed maximum time. Seeds priming with 1% KCl of Galaxy 2013 took maximum time to complete 50% germination (T50). Overall, Faisalabad 2008 priming with KCl proved best in most of parameters.
