Tolerance of rice cultivars to salt stress

The objective of this work was to evaluate the production of rice seeds of different cultivars under salt stress. The experiment was conducted in two growing seasons, in the first year, the following five rice genotypes (IRGA 417, Avaxi CL, SCSBRS Tio Taka, Inov CL e IAS 12-9 - Formosa) were evaluated to salt tolerance and they were submitted to doses of 0; 12.5; 25; 37.5; 50; 75 and 100 mM. In the second year, four genotypes (IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência e IAS 12-9 - Formosa) were used at dosages of 0; 4; 8; 12 and 16 mM. The following tests were performed to evaluate seed quality under stress: germination, first count, cold test, accelerated aging, emergence speed index, emergence, leaf area, shoot and root length, stem and root dry biomass. All genotypes were grown under the same salinity conditions and the agronomic characteristics and quality of seed produced were evaluated at the end of the cycle as follows: number of panicles, total weight, weight of full seeds, weight of empty seeds, percentage of full and empty seeds and thousand seed weight. Physiological seed quality was evaluated by tests of germination, first count and cold test. It can be concluded that physiological quality of rice seeds showed a decrease with the increase in salt stress levels. Rice cultivars show different responses under salt stress; salt stress reduce the production of seed of the cultivars IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência and IAS 12-9 (Formosa) and the physiological quality of rice seeds of the cultivars IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência and IAS 12-9 (Formosa), are not affected in salt concentrations up to 16 mM .Sem bolsaO objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a produção de sementes de arroz de diferentes cultivares, sob estresse salino. O experimento foi realizado em duas safras agrícolas; no primeiro ano foram avaliados cinco genótipos (IRGA 417, Avaxi CL, SCSBRS Tio Taka, Inov CL e IAS 12-9 - Formosa) submetidos a doses de 0, 12,5; 25; 37,5; 50; 75 e 100 mM. No segundo ano utilizou-se quatro genótipos (IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência e IAS 12-9 - Formosa) nas doses 0, 4, 8, 12 e 16 mM. Avaliou-se a qualidade fisiológica das sementes sob estresse salino pelos testes de germinação, primeira contagem de germinação, teste frio, envelhecimento acelerado, índice de velocidade de emergência, emergência, área foliar, comprimento de parte aérea e sistema radicular, fitomassa seca parte aérea e sistema radicular. Os genótipos foram cultivados sob as mesmas condições de salinidade, avaliando-se no final do ciclo as características agronômicas e a qualidade da semente produzida da seguinte forma: número de panículas, peso total, peso de sementes cheias, peso de sementes chochas, porcentagem de sementes cheias e chochas, e peso de mil sementes; e qualidade fisiológica pelos teste de germinação, primeira contagem de germinação e teste de frio. Conclui-se que a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de arroz apresenta redução com o aumento dos níveis de estresse salino; cultivares de arroz mostram respostas diferenciadas sob condições de estresse salino; as cultivares de arroz IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência e IAS 12-9 (Formosa) apresentam redução da produção de sementes sob condições de estresse salino; a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de arroz das cultivares IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência e IAS 12-9 (Formosa), não são afetadas negativamente em concentrações salinas até 16 mM

Rice Seed Production Under Conditions of Salinity Stres

ABSTRACT: In the present study, the objective was to evaluate the production and quality of rice seeds of four cultivars under conditions of saline stress caused by irrigation water. The work was carried out at the EliseuMaciel Agronomy College of the Universidade Federal de Pelotas, with four rice cultivars, IRGA 417, Avaxi CL, Inov CL and IAS 12-9 (Formosa). In the experiment, the following saline concentrations were used: 0; 12.5; 25; 37.5; 50; 75 and 100mM. After completing the crop cycle, the following agronomic characteristics were evaluated in each of the plants: number of panicles, total weight of panicles, percentage of full seeds, percentage of seedlings and weight of a thousand seeds. The physiological quality of the seeds harvested from the plants maintained under conditions of salinity stress was evaluated by germination and first count tests. Saline stress reduced the productivity and physiological quality of rice seeds, with different responses from the four cultivars used
