Abstract
In order to investigate the effect of seed priming with selenium on physiological and biochemical characteristics Wheat seedling under salt stress, a factorial experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili in 2024 with 3 replications. Treatments included four salinity levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 Mm) and four selenium levels (0, 25, 50, and 75 µM).The results showed that salt stress reduced growth indices including Germination Percentage (GP), Germination Rate (GR), Radicle and Plumule Fresh Weight (RFW and PFW), Radicle Dry Weight (RDW), Radicle length (RL), Plumule length (PL) and Seed Length Vigor Index (SLVI), but seed priming with different levels of selenium, especially the level of 75 µM, improved these traits. Priming with selenium decreased the amount of mean germination time, so the highest mean germination time (0.930 days) observed in the control treatment (priming with distilled water). The most Plumule Dry Weight (PDW) and Seed Weight Vigor Index (SLWI) were observed in treatment with 75 μM selenium and without salt. The amount of protein, proline and soluble sugars increased by 61, 25 and 72% respectively in priming with selenium 75 µM compared to the control. The results showed that Seed priming with selenium causes strengthened the germination indices, growth indices and biochemical traits in wheat and increased seedling growth.
