Abstract

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of salinity and temperature on seed germination characteristics of lemon balm (Mellissa officinalis L.) in various temperatures of 20, 23, 25, 27, 30 and 32oC and WATER POTENTIALs of 0, -0.2, -0.4, -0.6 and -0.8 MPa were used as treatments in Seed Laboratory, College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Tehran in 2015. Data were analyzed using combined statistical design. Percentage of germination decreased as salinity increased at each level of temperature. Estimate of threshold point for salinity was -0.132 MPa. SEGMENTED FUNCTION was evaluated to describe CARDINAL TEMPERATUREs. The base, optimum and ceiling temperatures of lemon balm were 17.30, 30.9 and 35oC under optimum conditions of WATER POTENTIAL, respectively. Response curve of the base temperature increased linearly from 17oC (control) to about 23°C (-0.8 MPa) by decreasing WATER POTENTIAL. The base and optimum temperature and the biological time for germination were increased by increasing salinity. The results showed that Melissa officinalis L. is sensitive to salinity in germination stage.
