Title: Effect of seed priming on growth and physiological traits of five Jordanian wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) landraces under salt stress

Abstract: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of salt stress and seed priming on germination performance, growth and physiology of five wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) landraces from Jordan namely; Ramtha, Ajloun, Madaba, Tafila and Karak. Results indicated that salinity decreased seed germination, relative water content, membranes stability index, shoot dry weight, leaf chlorophyll content and nitrate reductase activity. These effects were more pronounced in Ramtha, Ajloun and Madaba landraces as compared to Karak and Tafila. Significant increase in the accumulation of proline, total soluble sugars, soluble proteins and H2O2 was also observed in response to salinity, although variations existed among ladraces. Based on tolerance indices collected from parameters tested, the five landraces were clustered in two groups; Tafila and Karak landraces formed the first cluster while the second cluster consisted of Ajloun, Madaba and Ramtha landraces.  The landraces of cluster 1 were classified, based on similarity and distance indices, as salt tolerant while those of cluster 2 were considered as salt sensitive Priming seeds with 50mM CaCl2 stimulated salt tolerance in all stressed wheat landraces via improving growth, stabilizing cell membranes, enhancing chlorophyll content, promoting the nitrate reductase activity and ROS scavenging activities in addition to up-regulating the accumulation of proline and  soluble sugars. Results suggested that seed priming with CaCl2can be utilized for enhancing the salt tolerance potential of wheat and could contribute to promoting its cultivation in salt affected soils.
