Characteristics of seed germination in five non-halophytic Chinese desert shrub species (2001, background): “Nevertheless, hypersalinity caused almost complete loss of seed germinability in three Leguminosae species, while many halophytes have been reported to keep their seeds germinable after moistening with hypersaline solutions (e.g. Ungar, 1996; Katembe et al., 1998; Tobe et al., 2000a).”
Effects of salt and alkali stresses on germination, growth, photosynthesis and ion accumulation in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) (2010, background): “The germination responses of plants to environmental parameters determine their distribution in saline environments (Tobe et al. 2000), and seed germination of plants in a saline substrate is also a legitimate criterion for selecting for tolerance in saline environments (Sosa et al. 2005).”
Osmotic and ionic effects of NaCl on germination, early seedling growth, and ion content of Atriplex halimus (Chenopodiaceae) (2002, background): “numerous studies devoted to water stress effects (PérezMolphe-Balch et al. 1996; Tobe et al. 2000; Almansouri et al. 2001) and is a nonpenetrating solute that drastically inhibits water uptake.”
