Effect of seed priming with salicylic acid and methyl jasmonate on germination and primary root length of cowpea genotypes

Abstract

Under this investigation we studied about minimization of weekly data through stratification and The study was carried out to assess the optimum incubation time for cowpea seed priming and determining the optimum concentration of salicylic acid (SA) and methyl jasmonate (MJ) for cowpea seed priming. We have observed that the optimum time for cowpea seed priming with methyl jasmonate are 6hr. Further we have analysed the effect of different concentration of SA and MJ on germination percentage and root length of cowpea genotypes. We have observed that SA was inhibiting germination percentage while MJ was inhibiting primary root length.
