Determination of germination and seedling characteristics of common grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) genotypes under salt stress

Objective: In this study, the aim was to determine the germination and seedling development responses of common grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) genotypes under salt stress and to identify genotypes sensitive or tolerant to salinity. Materials and Methods: The research was conducted at the Field Crops Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, Siirt University, under controlled conditions at 25±1°C. The plant material of the study consists of 2 cultivars and 8 genotypes. The study investigated the doses of NaCl at 0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mM. The laboratory experiment was conducted by a completely randomized factorial design with four replications. Results: The increase in salt levels significantly (p
