EFFECT OF WATER POTENTIAL TREATMENT ON SEED GERMINATION AND SEEDLINGS GROWTH OF SOME RICE CULTIVARS (ORYZA SATIVA L.)
1Department of Plant Physiology
Chandra Sekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur - 208 002, India
ABSTRACT
Seeds of (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars CSAR-13, CSAR-27, CSAR-77, CSAR-148-205, CSAR-253,
CSAR-256, Pant-12, Basmati-370, IET-11120 and IR-539-30-2-2-3-3 were subjected to water stress
in terms of various external water potential during seed germination and seedling growth under
osmoticum solution of PEG-6000. The cumulative germination and seedling growth decreased
significantly with increasing intensity of stress irrespective of cultivar tested. However, CSAR-13,
CSAR-77 and CSAR-27 showed higher tolerance to decreasing water potential with respect to
germination, while IET-11120 and IR-539-30-2-2-3-3 proved better for seedling growth under moisture
stress condition.
