EFEKAT HORMOPRAJMINGA NA POBOLJŠANJE OTPORNOSTI KLIJANACA KUKURUZA NA USLOVE SLANOG STRESA

The paper examines the influence of different salicylic acid concentrations on germination percentage, dynamics and uniformity of germination, elongation and biomass of maize (Zea mays L.) seedlings in the early phase of growth and development, as well as the effect of hormopriming by salicylic acid on overcoming salt stress. According to the obtained results, the stimulating effect of salicylic acid on the germination and growth parameters of maize seedlings was confirmed, as well as its protective effect in conditions of salt stress. The concentrations of 10-4 and 10-5 M had the greatest effect on the examined parameters.
