Abstract: Chenopodium glaucum belonging to Chenopodiaceae is an annual economic halophyte which is widely distributed in the light saline and alkaline region, Xinjiang. We investigated the interactive effects of salt-alkali mixed stresses on its seed germination, germination recovery and growth phenotype of germinated seedlings. Seed germination percentage was significantly reduced with increasing salinity and pH and seed germination rate was also descent with increasing pH at a given salt concentration. Salinity and pH were also found to be the major factors influencing the growth phenotype of germinated seedlings of C. glaucum under the abovementioned corresponding treatments. Ungerminated seeds germinated well after being transferred to distilled water, with the final germination percentage being more than 90%, indicating that a certain degree of mixed salt-alkali stresses had almost no inhibitory influence on seed germination potential of C. glaucum, and the germination recovery percentage increased with increasing salt concentration. The two-way ANOVA analysis indicated that the seed germination of C. glaucum was significantly affected by salinity, pH and their interactions and salt was a decisive factor, and pH was a lesser one. In a word, the seed germination rate and growth phenotype of germinated seedlings of this species were inhibited by salinity and pH.
