Tolerância de cultivares de arroz irrigado ao estresse salino

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the production of rice seeds of different cultivars under salt stress. The experiment was conducted in two growing seasons, in the first year, the following five rice genotypes (IRGA 417, Avaxi CL, SCSBRS Tio Taka, Inov CL e IAS 12-9 - Formosa) were evaluated to salt tolerance and they were submitted to doses of 0; 12.5; 25; 37.5; 50; 75 and 100 mM. In the second year, four genotypes (IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência e IAS 12-9 - Formosa) were used at dosages of 0; 4; 8; 12 and 16 mM. The following tests were performed to evaluate seed quality under stress: germination, first count, cold test, accelerated aging, emergence speed index, emergence, leaf area, shoot and root length, stem and root dry biomass. All genotypes were grown under the same salinity conditions and the agronomic characteristics and quality of seed produced were evaluated at the end of the cycle as follows: number of panicles, total weight, weight of full seeds, weight of empty seeds, percentage of full and empty seeds and thousand seed weight. Physiological seed quality was evaluated by tests of germination, first count and cold test. It can be concluded that physiological quality of rice seeds showed a decrease with the increase in salt stress levels. Rice cultivars show different responses under salt stress; salt stress reduce the production of seed of the cultivars IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência and IAS 12-9 (Formosa) and the physiological quality of rice seeds of the cultivars IRGA 417, Epagri 109, BRS Querência and IAS 12-9 (Formosa), are not affected in salt concentrations up to 16 mM .
