Strigolactones as Germination Stimulants for Root Parasitic Plants
Witchweeds (Striga spp.) and broomrapes (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are the two most devastating root parasitic plants belonging to the family Orobanchaceae and are causing enormous crop losses throughout the world. Seeds of these root parasites will not germinate unless they are exposed to chemical stimuli, 'germination stimulants' produced by and released from plant roots. Most of the ge...
متن کاملConfirmation and quantification of strigolactones, germination stimulants for root parasitic plants Striga and Orobanche, produced by cotton.
The germination stimulants for root parasitic plants Striga and Orobanche produced by cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) were examined in detail. Seeds of cotton were germinated and grown on glass wool wetted with sterile distilled water in sterile filter units. The root exudate was collected daily and extracted with ethyl acetate. Each of these ethyl acetate extracts was analyzed directly by high-...
متن کامل7-Oxoorobanchyl acetate and 7-Oxoorobanchol as germination stimulants for root parasitic plants from flax (Linum usitatissimum).
Germination stimulants for root parasitic plants produced by flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) were purified and characterized. The root exudate of flax contained at least 8 active fractions, and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses suggested that there were 6 strigolactones. Two of them were identified as orobanchol and...
متن کاملEffect of Silver Nanoparticles on Seed Germination of Crop Plants
The use of engineered nanomaterials has increased as a result of their positive impact on many sectors of the economy, including agriculture. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are now used to enhance seed germination, plant growth, and photosynthetic quantum efficiency and as antimicrobial agents to control plant diseases. In this study, we examined the effect of AgNP dosage on the seed germination ...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Seed Germination Characteristics of Twenty Medicinal Plants
Due to the side effects of chemical drugs, the use of medicinal plants has increased in recent years. In this study, in order to select suitable medicinal plants for planting in the soil of Fars Science and Research Branch of Islamic Azad University, the seed germination characteristics of twenty medical plants were examined. These germination parameters include germination percentage, germinat...
