Effects of Halopriming on Seed Germination and Seedling Emergence of Capsicum frutescens

Abstract

Siling labuyo (<em>Capsicum frutescens</em>) is a small, commonly found chili pepper in the Philippines. This pepper is great to add spice, without altering the flavor of the dish because of its distinctive and complex taste. These plants are exposed to different abiotic factors including drought, salinity, high temperature, etc. which have adverse effects on plant growth and productivity.
