Effect of high salinity and of priming of non-germinated seeds by UV-C light on photosynthesis of lettuce plants grown in a controlled soilless system

High salinity results in a decrease in plant photosynthesis and crop productivity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of UV-C priming treatments of lettuce seeds on photosynthesis of plants grown at high salinity. Non-primed and primed seeds were grown in an hydroponic system, w...
