Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a halophytic, pseudocereal crop, which has a richer nutritional value than other major cereals and is highly resistant to multiple abiotic stresses. In this study, the germination characteristics, morphological, physiological and biochemical changes of three con...
