Abstract

Achenes oIeight high oleic content lines of Helianthus annuus were germinated in Petri dishes at four osmotic potentials of sodium chloride. Germination behaviour is analyzed. Seedling growth proved to be more sensitive than germination to salinity stress, cms lines are more affected. Newly germinated plants show a decrease in size and weight with salinity increment.

Keywords: Germination, salt tolerance, oil content, Helianthus annuus L.
