Abstract
Saline soils can limit seedling germination and growth of the crops. This research sought to identify whether the cowpea varieties Pingo-de-ouro and Coruja are tolerant to salinity in terms of germination and biomass partitioning. A completely randomized design in a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement, totaling eight treatments with four replications was used. The treatments consisted of two varieties of cowpea in addition to NaCl salinity with four levels of electric conductivity (0.0, 3.3, 6.6 and 9.9 dS∙m-1). The variables analyzed were percentage of germination (PG), first germination count (FGC), germination speed index (GSI), average germination time (AGT), percentage of seedling (PSB), shoot (PSHB), root (PRB) and cotyledon (PCotB) biomass, PCotB/PSB ratio and salinity tolerance index (STI). The Pingo-de-ouro variety showed tolerance to 3.3 dS∙m-1 displaying an increase in PSB and PSHB, while the Coruja variety tolerated 6.6 dS∙m-1 with a more significant investment in PRB. Both displayed no significant statistical reduction in percentage of G, FGC, GSI, AGT, and STI up to 3.3 dS∙m-1 for the Pingo-de-ouro variety and 6.6 dS∙m-1 for the Coruja one. Thus, those genetic materials can be used to breed tolerant plants. The present research also provides results for further studies at physiological, molecular, and field conditions.

期刊介绍:
Bioagro es una revista científica del Decanato de Agronomía de la Universidad Centroccidental “Lisandro Alvarado” (UCLA). Su periodicidad es cuatrimestral y se publica en los meses de enero, mayo y septiembre. Cada trabajo es revisado por al menos dos especialistas en el área, externos a la revista, de cuya opinión depende la aceptación definitiva. Se utiliza sistema de arbitraje doble ciego.
La revista va dirigida, fundamental pero no exclusivamente, a profesionales y técnicos del área agrícola. Su objetivo es publicar trabajos científicos originales e inéditos en ciencias agrícolas que enfoquen aspectos de agronomía, botánica y propagación de plantas, entomología y zoología, suelos, fitopatología y protección vegetal, ingeniería agrícola, genética y mejoramiento de plantas, ecología, procesamiento de productos agrícolas, biotecnología y sociales. También pueden ser publicados artículos cortos en los que se presenten descubrimientos científicos, desarrollos tecnológicos y resultados de diagnósticos integrales, en la modalidad de Notas Técnicas.
En Venezuela, se encuentra en las bibliotecas de todas las universidades e institutos de educación superior que ofrecen carreras agronómicas, así como de los entes oficiales de investigación agropecuaria. En el exterior, la revista llega a universidades y/o institutos de investigación agrícolas de todos los países de América Latina así como Estados Unidos, Canadá y España.
