Calcium chloride priming increases chilling tolerance in Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge

ABSTRACT Chilling stress inhibits germination and early seedling growth of Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge. The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of osmopriming with CaCl2 on the germination and early seedling growth of S. miltiorrhiza under chilling stress (10 ℃). Seeds w...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of osmopriming with CaCl2 on the germination and early seedling growth of S. miltiorrhiza under chilling stress (10 ℃). Seeds were soaked in different concentrations of CaCl2 solutions (0, 50, 100, and 150 mM) at 20 ℃ for 24 h in darkness, rinsed, and air-dried. The effects of seed priming were evaluated on germination and survival during subsequent exposure to chilling stress (10 ℃) for 14 d. An unprimed control treatment was sown under optimal temperatures (25 ℃). Results indicated that germination percentage, germination potential, and seedling vigor index of unprimed seeds decreased from 69.2%, 12.4, and 0.092 to 28%, 3.6, and 0.022, respectively, when subjected to chilling stress. Higher malondialdehyde (MDA) content and lower chlorophyll contents (including total chlorophyll, chlorophyll a, and chlorophyll b) were detected in S. miltiorrhiza seedlings.
