Valorificarea lichidului cultural al cianobacteriei spirulina platensis pentru germinarea seminţelor de Galega orientalis lam. menţinute în colecţii

Following quantitative research, it was found that treating Galega orientalis L. seeds with a biostimulant derived from the cultural liquid of the cyanobacterium Spirulina platensis over 3 years significantly improved germination capacity and germination index, while the relative root elongation had a lesser impact. The optimal concentration of 4% and exposure for 4 hours resulted in the highest germination rates (50,00%) and germination index (10,0) compared to the control group (FG – 33,00% and IG – 6,6). These findings suggest that cyanobacterial biostimulants could effectively enhance seed germination and conserve species in seed collections, potentially benefiting agricultural practices.
