Leymus chinensis is a dominant grass in the Songnen grassland of Northern China. The lower germination caused by the presence of lemmas has proved to be an obstacle for the use of the seeds of this plant by humans. However, it is still unknown if the lemmas have other ecological roles such as resisting drought and saline conditions. Three experimen...

Raw Data—Effect of temperature regimes on seed (with and without lemmas) germination
Article
Soil salinization and alkalization frequently co-occur in the grassland, but little information exists concerning the mixed effects of salt-alkaline stress on plant. Jerusalem artichoke is an economically and ecologically important energy crop and also considered as a salt-tolerant species. In this study, we investigated the effects of 12 mixed sal...

... However, sunflower plants showed an opposite mechanism for K + absorption under saline-alkali stress; demonstrated that sunflowers can undergo an osmotic adjustment by accumulating large amounts of K + to maintain ion balance and, subsequently, cope with saline-alkali stress. Some studies have also shown that the K + content of plants does not change significantly under saline-alkali stress, but rather that the K + : Na + ratio decreases (Rejili et al. 2007;Liu et al. 2016;Shao et al. 2015). The maintenance of a high K + :Na + ratio in plants is a necessary for maintaining enzymatic activity (Sun et al. 2019). ...
... Seeds must first imbibe an adequate amount of water to start germination process, which depends on the osmotic pressure of soil (Wuest, 2007). However, drought and/or salinity increase osmotic pressure and thus impair seed imbibition and seed germination (Lin et al., 2016). Freshly matured seeds of A. venetum can germinate at water potential values from −0.6 to −0.90 MPa and at 0-200 mM salinity concentration (Rong et al., 2015;Xu et al., 2015). ...
