Abstract

In order to evaluate the effect of matrix priming on some germination traits improvement of three soybean commercial cultivars seeds produced under parent plant drought stress, a field and laboratory experiment conducted as a factorial respectively based on randomized complete block and completely randomized design by four replications in Seed and Plant Improvement Institute(SPII) and the seed analysis laboratory of Seeds and Plant Certification and Registration Institute at Karaj. Three soybean commercial cultivars, L17, Hamilton and Williams seeds produced under parent plant drought stress by irrigation after 50, 100, 150 mm evaporation from A class pan evaporation. Then, seeds by 1 to 4 weight ratio of sterilized compost, vermiculate, perlite and zeolite solid matrices in distilled water matrix primed and not matrix primed seeds were control. By standard germination test, final germination percent, normal and abnormal seedlings percent, mean germination time, coefficient of velocity of germination, mean daily germination and daily germination speed determined. Results revealed, drought stress imposed on parent plant caused final germination, normal seedlings percent and germination rate indices decreased and abnormal seedlings percent and mean germination time increased. Under drought stress conditions L17 cultivar seeds had more final germination percent and less normal seedlings percent as compared with other studied cultivars. Totally, matrix priming caused produced under drought stress conditions seeds related to germination studied traits improvement and by increase drought stress intensity this improvement was more obvious. Also, vermiculate, zeolit, compost and perlite solid matrices respectively had more improvement effect. Hamilton cultivar seed produced without stress and under drought stress conditions, matrix primed by vermiculate solid matrix had the most improvement.
