Description
Yellow River Delta coastal saline soil experiments on maize (Zea mays L.) seed priming with silicon quantum dots (Si QDs). The dataset, authored by Lize Zhao and last updated in April 2026, contains results from plate germination and pot experiments comparing Si QDs to hydropriming, sodium silicate, and silica nanoparticles. It includes measurements of germination rates, physiological responses, and growth metrics under salt stress.
Use Cases
Compare germination performance of different priming agents based on metrics like germination rate and vigor index.
Analyze physiological responses to salt stress based on Na+/K+ ratio, superoxide dismutase activity, and malondialdehyde content.
Model the relationship between seed priming treatments and seedling biomass accumulation or root system architecture.
Evaluate the photosynthetic capacity enhancement in maize seedlings under saline conditions.
Strengths
Includes specific quantitative results, such as a 132.3% improvement in germination performance over Na2SiO3 and a 19.5% decrease in Na+/K+ ratio.
