Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Brackish waters has been increasingly used in hydroponic systems for the cultivation of vegetables. However, its use can cause significant losses in crop production. Therefore, new alternatives to enhance the tolerance of plants to salt stress are being studied, including seed priming with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Thus, this study aimed to assess the seed priming with H2O2 at different periods of exposure for enhancing the production, water status and pigments concentration of crisp lettuce grown under salt stress. The experiment was carried out under protected conditions, in a completely randomized design, with four replicates. The plants were cultivated in a floating hydroponic system, containing nutrient solution. Five treatments were tested: control (absence of H2O2 and absence of NaCl); salt control (absence of H2O2 and presence of 100 mM NaCl); 0.1 mM H2O2 (12 hours) + 100 mM NaCl; 0.1 mM H2O2 (24 hours) + 100 mM NaCl, and 0.1 mM H2O2 (36 hours) + 100 mM NaCl. In general, salinity reduced the height, production of the fresh and dry mass of the shoot, relative water content, and chlorophylls concentration of lettuce plants. However, the application of 0.1 mM H2O2 for 12 and 36 hours on the seeds, enhanced the growth, water status, and chlorophylls concentration of the plants. Seed priming with H2O2 at a 0.1 mM concentration for 12 hours can be recommended to increase tolerance of lettuce plants grown in a hydroponic system under salt stress. RESUMO As águas salobras vêm sendo cada vez mais utilizadas em sistemas hidropônicos para o cultivo de hortaliças. Entretanto, seu uso pode provocar prejuízos significativos na produção das culturas. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o condicionamento fisiológico de sementes com H2O2 em diferentes períodos de exposição para melhorar a produção, estado hídrico e teor de pigmentos de alface crespa cultivada sob estresse salino. O experimento foi conduzido em condições protegidas, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro repetições. As plantas foram cultivadas em sistema hidropônico do tipo floating, contendo solução nutritiva de Furlani. Foram testados cinco tratamentos: controle (ausência de H2O2 e ausência de NaCl); controle salino (ausência de H2O2 e presença de 100 mM NaCl); 0,1 mM H2O2 (12 horas) + 100 mM NaCl; 0,1 mM H2O2 (24 horas) + 100 mM NaCl e 0,1 mM H2O2 (36 horas) + 100 mM NaCl. Em geral, a salinidade reduziu a altura, a produção de massa fresca e seca da parte aérea,
