Abstract- Effects of seed soaking with plant growth regulators (IAA, GA3, kinetin or prostart) on wheat
(Triticum aestivum cv. Auqab-2000) emergence and seedling growth under normal (4 dS/cm) and saline (15
dS/cm) conditions were studied to determine their usefulness in increasing relative salt-tolerance. During
emergence test, emergence percentage and mean emergence time (MET) were significantly affected by most of
priming treatments, however, root and shoot length, fresh and dry weight of seedlings were significantly
increased by 25 ppm kinetin followed by 1% prostart for 2 h treatments under both normal and saline
conditions. All pre-sowing seed treatments decreased the electrolyte leakage of steep water as compared to that
of non-primed seeds even after 12 h of soaking. Seed soaking with 25 ppm kinetin induced maximum decrease
in electrolyte leakage while an increase in electrolyte leakage was observed by 25, 50 or 100 ppm IAA
treatments. It is concluded that priming has reduced the severity of the effect of salinity but the amelioration
was better due to 25 ppm kinetin and 1% prostart (2 h) treatments as these showed best results on seedling
growth, fresh and dry weights under non-saline and saline conditions whereas seed soaking with IAA and GA3
were not effective in inducing salt tolerance under present experimental material and conditions

Will salt have the most effect on plant growth?
The effect that salt has on plants is that it doesn't stimulate the growth cycle. Controlled (pure water) on the other hand makes plants grow faster than watering it with salt water.
Does human voice effect the plants growth and why?
yes actually if you talk to a plant it will grow faster
How different liquid effect a plant growth?
Ok,yes if you do water the plants with different liquids the growth of the plants will be different and will effect the plants. Acid will kill the plants, some other liquids like a sports drink will probably make the plant have an odor,it all depends on the type of seed and the liquids and how mush of the liquid you are "feeding" the plant.And some liquids have nutrients or toxic solutions
What is effect of ash on plant growth?
The plants will have a delayed growth or not grow at all. I did an experiment with this and two of the plants with ash grew at a slow rate and one didn't grow at all. The ash absorbs the water that if supposed to go into the plant's soil.
What have scientists researched about the effect saltwater has on the growth of plants?
Scientist have discovered that the inner layer of tissue in the branching root is sensitive to salt and activate a stress hormone. This hormone stops root growth.

What should be the effect of too much sunlight to growth by plants?the plant might dry up
How does color effect the growth of plants?
No, color does not effect the growth of plants. If the plant is yellow, it will grow fine. Now, if the plant is brown, that could mean it is dead.
