Aim&Background: Basil (Ocimum basilicum) belongs to the family Lamiaceae. It is annual plant known as an important medicinal plant. To study the effects of nano-silver particles on salinity tolerance behaviors (Ocimum basilicum L.), the present research was conducted.
Materials and Methods: experiments were carried out factorially based on CRD with four replicates during autumn 2013. Samples were treated with 6 levels of nano-silver particles, including 0, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mg.kg-1 and 6 levels of salinity 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180 mmol.l-1. Salinity treatments were prepared using NaCl and CaCl2 at the rate of 1:1 in Hogland solution of 50%. The germination percentages, germination speed, vigor index, were also determined.
Results: Results showed that the application of nano-silver particles at the concentration of 40 mg.kg-1 led to the increases in germination percentage and improved the resistance to salinity conditions.
Conclusion: the application of nano silver at suitable levels during germination process may enhance germination traits, plant growth and resistance to salinity conditions in basil seedlings.
