Identification of PEG 6000 concentrations for assessing drought resistance in millet genotypes during the seed germination phase by O. V. Gorlachova, S. N. Gorbachova, V. S. Lutenko, O. V. Anceferova

“…Prozorovskii was used to theoretically substantiate the selection of an optimal osmotic concentration, which would be most accurate in identifying the level of drought tolerance in millet genotypes during seed germination.Results and conclusions: The 15.3% to 28.9% concentrations of PEG 6000 solutions had a negative effect on seed germination of millet genotypes. A strongly suppressed seed germination rate was observed at the PEG concentration of 23.5%: germination percentage in all cultivars (except for IR 5, with 56.0%) fell below 50%. …”
