Salinity and germination of annual Melilotus from the Guadalquivir delta (S.W. Spain).
The germination response to NaCl treatments has been studied in Melilotus seed populations collected from saline and non-saline soils in the Guadalquivir delta. The rank orders for salt tolerance and seed weight were the same in the three Melilotus species living in this area: Melilotus messanensis - M. segetalis - M. indica. Within the species, differences in germination response to salinity were found in M. indica (6 populations) and M. segetalis (8 populations). The relationship between salt tolerance during germination and salinity of maternal habitat is discussed.
