Abstract
The influence of seed germination conditions on the regenerative ability has not been investigated. The present study shows that the germination rate itself is affected significantly by light level and salt concentration in the germination medium. An increase in salt concentration resulted in reduced germination percentage. High light in combination with either 0 % or low levels of salts produced a significantly higher number of germinated seedlings reaching up to 89 %. The morphology of seedlings and the subsequent regenerative ability of hypocotyl and cotyledon explants were also influenced by those conditions. High light in combination with 0 % or low salt concentrations provided during germination produced significantly higher numbers of adventitious shoots on hypocotyls when compared to all other treatments. This is the first report on the influence of seed germination conditions on the regenerative ability of hypocotyl or cotyledon explants.
