INTRODUCTION Plnts in vrious eosystems re onstntly exposed to the stress of living nd non-living ftors suh s fungi, weeds, drought nd slinity ontriutes to the development of this limiting ftor in plnts(lwlor,22). Among the ftors mentioned, shortge of wter is the most importnt in plnt growth nd development (Hoogenom et l., 1987) The first nd most sensitive response to wter shortges re redue n inflmmtion of the ell nd growth (Lrher,1995). wter shortges is Also use of the drought nd slinity tht is due to the low level of preipittion nd high evportion. Drought nd slinity re the most importnt environmentl stresses in the world nd Irn (Crmer et l.,1989). Drought is the most importnt limiting ftor growth nd yield in rop tht influene 4 to 6 perent of the world's griulturl lnd (Bry, 21). Drought prevents full geneti potentil of the rops nd redued griulturl prodution. The first retion of the plnt versus to drought is inresed on the growth of helth tht hs detrimentl influene on germintion, seedling growth, struture of orgns nd their funtions (Higgs & Jones,199). The most importnt ftors dpting of plnts to dehydrtion nd stress is regultion of osmoti potentil y umultion of orgni nd inorgni sustnes in plnt ell whih redue the detrimentl effets of environmentl stresses (Rieger, 1995). Tody, furthermore, the greenhouse nd field studies, lortory studies y the mterils suh s polyethylene glyol (PEG 6) indue drought stress onditions is very importnt (De & Kr,1994). PEG y rete the nturl environment, sme drought stress indued y dehydrtion is of the most ommon mterils induer of stress in plnt (Zeid & El- Semry, 21). PEG due to the high moleulr weight hs not ple of rossing of ell wll, it is eing used to djust the osmoti potentil of wter during the drought experiments (Mihel & Kufmnn, 1973). The slinity inflited irreprle dmge to plnts in the world (Bhtti et l., 24). The onentrtion of dissolved slts in sline soils is high nd if the dominnt tion e, Mg or N, the soils re lkline, ut my, in sline soils exhngele hydrogen inreses nd PH is less thn 4, these soils re idi (Tnji,1995).high slinity soil is limiting ftors of rop yields in round the world, espeilly in rid nd semi-rid s one of the most fundmentl prolems in the griulturl setor(munns,22).in rop In terms of slinity stress the rop *Corresponding uthor.

MOHAMMADİ, DARGAHİ germintion stge is the most importnt ftor. Redued in germintion nd plnt growth under slinity stress my e due to hnges in osmoti potentil ffeted of downwrd wter potentil nd void of getting wter in the root environment or the effets of speifi ions (toxi ions N + nd Cl - ) ( Hgighi & Milni,29). Present investigtion in order to effet of slinity nd drought stresses on germintion nd germintion prmeters whet ws performed. 2. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seeds of whet (T. estivum L.) Cultivr (hmrn) were otined from the Reserh enter of Agriulture nd Nturl Resoures of Dshtestn, Bushehr provine. This experiment ws rried out in ompletely rndomized ftoril form with three replitions nd 2 seeds were pled in the eh of plsti dishes. Before seeds tretment, they were soked in wter for 2 hours nd then were emedded in 2.5 perent hypo hloride solution for 15 min. Then, the seeds wshed thoroughly under tp wter nd in the end with distilled wter. In order to impose the drought nd slinity ws used of the (PEG 6 nd N + Cl - ). Four different levels of eh of osmoti potentils were supplied to use of the (PEG 6 nd N + Cl - ), inluding ontrol ( without polyethylene glyol) osmoti potentils -.4, -.8 nd -1.2 r nd ontrol (without sodium hloride) osmoti potentils 75, 15 nd 2 mmol/l respetively. Osmoti pressures were lulted ording to the Vn Hoff (1) nd Mihel nd Kufmnn (2). The formul s follow: ΨS = - imrt (1) The formul ΨS: Osmoti pressure versus Meg Psl, i: mol/kg solution, m: Ioniztion ftor, R:Gs onstnt, T: temperture of solution ws onsidered. OP= (-1. 1-2) C - (1. 1-4) C+ (2.67 1-4) C T + (8.39 l-7) C2T (2) Where OP: the potentil of osmoti stress versus time, C: onentrtion of polyethylene glyol, T: temperture in Kelvin (298 C) ws onsidered. The experiment ws rried out in the germintor (25±1 C, 45% reltive humidity). The germintion of seeds ws ended fter 1 dy nd root exlusion riterion for germintion ws defined s 2 mm. After germintion, root nd shoot length, plnt dry weight, root dry weight nd deresed the germintion perentge were mesured. Men germintion time ording to the eqution of Ellis nd Roerts (1981) were lulted. Anlysis ws rried out y SPSS softwre nd Sttistil nlysis of Dunn. 3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 3.1. Results of drought vrine Germintion in the ontrol ondition nd three osmoti potentils of ontrol (), -.4, -.8 nd -1.2 rs re shown in Tle 1: These results showed tht dpttion nd resistne of this whet ultivr under drought stress. germintion ws ended fter 1 dy nd rte of germintion ws in the most heighten form of its. These results lso showed tht germintion perentge of this ultivr in -.8 nd -1.2 tretments ompred to ontrol were not signifint. Sidi (1384) ws reported until intermedite levels under drought stress, germintion perentge hs not hnged, this indites the reltive resistne of whet to drought stress t the germintion stge. Slehi (1389) lso ws reported with inresing levels of drought stress deresed plnt 96
The whet response to drought nd slinity stresses germintion perentge. Drought uses the rop to withstnd tht kind of stress, ut mrked derese in yield is oserved. This mkes it diffiult for the frmer And thus the effiieny of the frmer must deide wht level of defiit irrigtion to tke, When no wter is pplied nd when it is used less wter thn typil onsumer To hieve mximum wter effiieny nd minimum ost (Condom,22).

The whet response to drought nd slinity stresses Columns with letter in ommon re not signifintly different y Dunn test t 5% proility level Studies showed tht this ultivr under the drought hs etter yield ompred to slinity nd redution in germintion prmeters is the lowest. Present study indites tht ould use of this ultivr of whet under slinity nd drought. Further tests on the whet ultivr under slinity ould determine the est threshold of tolerne.
