Rapid and enhanced germination at low temperature of alfalfa and white clover seeds following osmotic priming
Seeds of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and white clover (Trifolium repens) were primed in 3 priming solutions [2% NaCl, 2% KNO3 and 300 g/L polyethylene glycol (PEG)] for 2 days at 20°C and their subsequent germination compared with that of untreated seed. Four replications of 50 seeds for germination and 25 seeds for emergence were arranged in a 2-factor factorial completely randomised design. All...
متن کاملChanges in shrub fecundity in fourwing saltbush browsed by cattle
Shrub fecundity is critical to long term persistence of fourwing saltbush (Atriplex canescens (Pursh) Nutt.) populations at our research site on the shortgrass steppe in Colorado. We conducted a 2-year experiment to test hypotheses concerning the impact of cattle-browsing on fecundity-related variables in fourwing saltbush. Protection from cattle browsing was significantly associated with flora...
متن کاملEffects of different levels of osmotic potential on germination percentage and germination rate of barley, corn and canola. Bagher Gharoobi1, Meysam Ghorbani2 and Mostafa Ghasemi Nezhad2
Iran is located in a hot and dry region. As a result of low precipitation and a vast area of salty and alkali soil, osmotic pressure is very high in most parts of the country (i.e., osmotic potential is more negative). In the present study four levels of osmotic pressure (-0.25, -0.35, -0.45, -0.50 MPa) were created artificially, by polyethylene glycol (PEG) and treatment of three seed types, n...
متن کاملTemperature regulation of germination in crimson clover seeds.
Seeds of Dixie crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum cv. Dixie) completed germination in 36 hours at 20 C. At 10 C germination was delayed by 24 hours. At 30 C only 20% germinated and the rest remained viable for a long time but not germinable. Different patterns of adenylate energy state and zymograms of acid phosphatase and esterase were observed from seeds grown under the three temperatures f...
متن کاملEffect of seed storing temperature on germination of wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis) seeds
Seed dormancy of wild mustard (Sinapis arvensis) could be changed through seed storing. The seeds were collected from four regions: Fars, West Azarbaijan, Khuzestan and Mazandaran provinces. They were stored at three different temperatures (-18, +3 and 22-25°C) for 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 months. They were then put under suitable condition for germination. Mean germination time for seeds was measure...
