Abstract

Five representative Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.) species (‘Qibao Green’, ‘Xia Dongqing’, ‘Siyueman’, ‘Nanjing Zhonggan’ and ‘605’) were treated with 100 mmol/L NaCl in seed germination stage to compare their salt tolerance. The results showed that salt tolerance of ‘Qibao green’ seeds was stronger than the other varieties by the indicators of germination potential, germination rate, germination index, salt injury index, embryo length and embryo fresh weight.
