Abstract

The current study aims to investigate the effect of different concentrations (0.1, 0.5 and 1 %) of Cystoseira barbata (CBAE) and Laurencia papillosa (LPAE) aqueous extracts on seed germination, and some growth physiological parameters (germination percentage (GP), seed germination index (SGI), energy of germination (GE), plumule and radicle (PL and RL) lengths, and leaf area (LA) of Triticum aestivum (crop species). In general, there was a significant increase in GP, SGI and GE under the effect of both donor species as well as in PL, RL, was RL as increased by about 25.93 %, 19.78 % in 1 % CBAE, and LPAE respectively as compared to control. Furthermore, LA increased to 50 %, 30.35 % higher than the control.
