-watered conditions, in which seedlings were growing in half-strength Hoagland solution and 2) PEG-induced drought conditions, in which seedlings were growing in half-strength Hoagland solution plus PEG 6000 (30%; Beijing Kebaiao, Beijing, China). Water potential of

screen potential resistant resources for kiwifruit breeding or rootstock selection in future studies, the growth and physiological responses of five Actinidia species to PEG-induced drought stress under tissue culture conditions were measured, and the

beginning of the 20% polyethylene glycol treatment to allow the plants to reach full maturity and develop uniform and equal size roots and shoots. Treatment and experimental design. After adaptation, the plants were exposed to 20% PEG 6000 (−1.8 MPa) for 2

-priming using GB ( Pill and Necker, 2001 ; Zhang and Rue, 2012 ; Zhang et al., 2014 ) and PEG ( Danneberger et al., 1992 ; Wang et al., 2014 ), matrix priming ( Yamamoto et al., 1997b ), and redox priming using H 2 O 2 ( Wang et al., 2014 ) have been

cultured in half strength Hoagland solution with 30% of PEG-8000 (previously named PEG-6000; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis) (ψ o ≈ −1.2 MPa), while R 1 and R 2 were kept in half strength Hoagland solution only, and was denoted as R 3 P R 2 R 1 . The second

polysaccharide synthesis and metabolic energy ( Kwack, 1965 ). Alternatively, polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been used in some systems to lower the water potential of the media and allow sucrose concentrations to be lowered, producing higher germination rates and

at 20 °C/30 °C. For stress treatments, 60-d-old seedlings with uniform growth were removed from sand carefully and transferred in 1/2 Hoagland nutrient solution containing 20% PEG 6000 (dehydration stress) and 600 mmol·L −1 NaCl (salinity stress
