The 6th International Mediterranean Symposium on Medicinal and Aromatic Plants (MESMAP-6), İzmir, Türkiye, 15 - 17 Ekim 2020, ss.167-173
Nowadays, with the increasing interest of use of organic and of herbal, aromatic and medicinal plants
(HMAPs) products globally, it is important to incorporate wildering plant species, grown naturally in
nature into agriculture production. Collecting medicinal and aromatic plants from nature and serving
them on market is an important source of income, especially for rural people. To think that medicinal
and aromatic plants will be maintained to be a source of livelihood for rural areas, as these plants are
recommended to growers in the evaluation of arid, salty and sloping lands would not be wrong. In
this study, seeds were collected from Lavandula stoechas plants, naturally growing in Kemer/Antalya
Region and their potential tolerance against to salinity and drought was investigated. In order to
determine the salinity impact on germination and early seedling growth characteristics, seeds were
exposed to at six level NaCl concentrations treatments (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mM). To create
drought stress, PEG solution was used and seeds were germinated under at six different drought levels
(0 -2, -4, -6, -8 and -9.8 MPa). The effects of stress factors were tried to be determined by being used
the characters of germination ratio, radicle length and weight, plumule length, and weight. As a result
of the studies, L. stoechas seeds germinated at 0, 50 and 100 mM NaCl concentrations and drought
levels of 0, 2, 4 and 6 MPa. The effects of different salt concentrations on germination ratio, plumule
and radicle length and the effects of different drought levels on germination ratio, plumule and radicle
length, plumule and radicle weight were found to be significant was to be revealed.
