Priming-induced changes in germination, morpho-physiological and leaf biochemical responses of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) under salt stress

Abstract Seed priming is a simple biotechnological tool which is potentially able to promote seed germination and invigoration as well as seedlings establishment and stress tolerance. In this study, the effects of seed pre-treatment with water (hydro-priming), 100 (HP-NaCl100) and 200 mM (HP-NaCl200) NaCl (halo-priming) for 6 h on some physiological and biochemical parameters of fenugreek was investigated under saline conditions (100 mM NaCl). For the three priming treatments, no significant changes in the final germination percentage were observed. However, a decrease in seed germination time was observed in hydro- and halo-primed (HP-NaCl200) seeds. Salt stress (100 mM NaCl) reduced growth (shoot and root dry weight), pigment content, disturbed the ionic balance and enhanced malondialdehyde content. Salinity-induced changes in lipid metabolism towards synthesis/accumulation of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids were observed in stressed plants. Seed priming ameliorated the negative effects of NaCl, ensuring significant amelioration on growth, pigment content, increased the activity of catalase and glutathione peroxidase and enhanced the synthesis of very long chain n-alkanes. Taken together, these data provide compelling evidence that priming is an effective alternative that can be used to promote germination and improves establishment and acclimation of fenugreek seedlings under saline conditions.
