The effect of nearly constant water potential on germination of citrus, sunflower, and lettuce seeds was studied. Water potential equilibration was achieved by placing soil above a cellulose acetate membrane which was in contact with a solution of polyethylene glycol-6000. Selection of solute potentials in the solution resulted in controlled water potentials in the soil over a range of 0 to −14.9 bars for citrus and 0 to −8.0 bars for sunflower and lettuce. The water stress experienced by germinating seeds in this system is largely the result of a matric effect rather than a solute effect.Citrus seeds germinated at water potentials as low as −4.7 bars and lettuce at −4.1 bars, but sunflower germinated at −8.0 bars. Sunflower germinated as rapidly at −4.1 bars as lettuce at −2.3 bars, both reaching 50% germination at about 8 days. Citrus germinated much more slowly, requiring 26 days at 0 bars.

ABSTRACT The effects of water potential on germination were studied in 18 wild populations of three yarrow species (Achillea tenuifolia, A. vermicularis and A. filipendulina) from different bioclimatic zones in Iran. Water potential between 0 and -0.6 MPa were obtained using polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG-6000) solutions. The study of water stress on germination showed that, regardless of the species and the populations, the lowering of the water potential reduced the capacity for germination and early seeding growth. These results indicated a strong genetic potential for drought tolerance during germination within each species. These differences in germination ability of wild populations of each species might be attributed to intraspecific variations resulting from the effects of natural selection and genetic pool background.

Rainfall scarcity due to climate change is a major constraint that limits cocoa productivity in Côte d'Ivoire. This work aims to regenerate cocoa plants tolerant to water stress using in vitro methods. Staminode and petal explants of the genotypes C1, C9, C14, C15, C16, C18 and C20 were used to produce somatic embryos through two methods. Firstly, somatic embryos were induced under stressfull conditions on media containing different concentrations of polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 (0; 25; 50; 75; 100 and 125 g/l) and secondly; under non-stressed conditions. Somatic embryos were placed on a conversion medium in the same stress condition. The number of regenerants decreased with the increase in the concentration of PEG with all genotypes. Only genotypes C1 and C15 regenerated plantlets under water stress conditions. The sensitive genotypes C9, C14, C16, C18 and C20 have not developed plantlets on media containing PEG. The plantlets produced under water deficit conditions exhibited a reduction in stem length and leaves number and an increase in length or offset of the high number of roots. The survival rate of regenerants during acclimatization was higher on the sandsubstrate. The selected genotypes could be used in an improvement program of cocoa production.Keywords: Climate change; plant regeneration; genotype; tolerance; drought; in vitro

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of water stress on the germination of Coffea arabica seeds and the growth and development of plants from these seeds. Seeds of the cultivars Bourbon Vermelho, Mundo Novo, and BA-10 were placed to germinate in the dark at 30 ºC in the presence and absence of 100 g/L of polyethylene glycol 6000. The water stress applied delayed the beginning of seed germination by seven days in relation to seeds of the control, which had achieved responses of up to 50%, but there were no differences between the treatments at the end of the experiment. Furthermore, the length of the primary root in seeds germinated under water stress was less than in the control treatment, especially for the cultivar Mundo Novo. Plants of the cultivars Bourbon Vermelho and Mundo Novo developed from seeds previously germinated under water stress exhibited reduced height and fewer leaf pairs than those from the control, whereas ‘BA-10’ responded in a similar way in both treatments. Thus, the cultivars Bourbon Vermelho and Mundo Novo were more sensitive to the water stress applied in the germination phase than ‘BA-10’.

Young tomato plants were grown in 10 or 25% polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 solutions to impose water stress. Plant organs were analyzed to ascertain whether the various plant parts accumulated PEG and to determine the physiological effects. PEG 6000 was taken up by tomato roots and translocated to the shoots. PEG accumulation was greater in roots and in the first leaves and negligible in apical leaves. In all leaves there was an increase in soluble-sugar concentration during the PEG treatment. However, PEG-accumulating leaves showed a delay in dehydration in comparison with leaves where PEG was not accumulated. To explain this behaviour we hypothesize that PEG was accumulated in extracellular spaces and that, as a consequence, water was drawn out from the cells, inducing cellular but not tissue dehydration.

Background: Blackgram is one of the important pulse crops belongs to the Papilionaceae family. Seed germination and seedling growth are a very important step in the survival of a plant. Water stress is one of the important factors affects seedling growth. Methods: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of water stress on seedling growth in twenty-one blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] genotypes at the pot culture yard of Annamalai University during March 2018. The water stress was created by using Polyethylene Glycol (6000 MW) in different concentrations (0%, 10% and 20%). Different phenotypic characters were recorded such as shoot length, root length, shoot fresh weight, root fresh weight, shoot dry weight and root dry weight at two different levels of treatment and control. The experiment was laid in a completely randomized design with two replications. Result: The combined analysis of variance revealed significant differences (p less than 0.001) among genotypes, treatments and genotypes × treatments interaction. The highest stress tolerance index (STI) was recorded by the genotype ADT-5. Based on clustering and ranking, the genotypes ADT-5, KGB-28, RU-16-9, VBG-10010 and VBG-12062 were classified as drought-tolerant. Overall, pot culture screening of 21 blackgram genotypes for drought tolerance at seedling stage using various concentrations of PEG 6000 resulted in the identification of drought-tolerant genotypes, where ADT-5 showed the highest tolerance followed by KGB-28 and RU-16-9.

ABSTRACT Water stress is a condition that causes physiological changes in different species and even genotypes of the same species. One of the osmotic agents most used to simulate this condition is polyethylene glycol 6000. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of water stress on the physiological quality of seeds and performance of seedlings of crambe genotypes. A completely randomized design was used, in a factorial scheme with two genotypes (one cultivar and one line) and five osmotic potentials simulated with aqueous solutions of polyethylene glycol 6000 (control = 0, -0.25, -0.50, -1.0, -1.50 MPa), with four replicates of 50 seeds per treatment. The effects of the treatments were evaluated by means of germination, first count, germination speed index and fresh and dry matter of seedlings. The physiological quality of seeds and the performance of crambe seedlings are negatively affected under water stress from -0.25 MPa on. Seeds of the genotype FMSCR 1101 have greater tolerance to drought stress, regardless of the osmotic potential used.
