The effects of kinetin and the interaction between kinetin and salinity on seed germination of three plant species namely Lycopersicon esculentum, Hordeum vulgare and Gossypium hirsutum were studied Kinetin was applied exogenously to the seeds in order to determine whether this growth-promoting hormone would promote germination and to see if osmotically-induced dormancy caused by NaCl could be alleviated The results indicate that kinetin is capable of breaking dormancy in these species and there is a significant interaction with salinity in tomato and cotton.
