Germination responses of Ballota hirsuta seeds under conditions of temperature, salinity and water stress

The effect of salicylic acid and gibberellin on enzyme activity and germination characteristics of wheat seeds under salinity stress conditions

ABSTRACT: Seed priming was used in wheat seeds to increase germination characteristics and tolerance on stress exposure. Wheat seeds were treated with salicylic acid and gibberellin. After 8 days our results showed that, seed priming treatments significantly (p≤ 0.01) affected germination percentage, normality seedling percentage, germination index and seedling length. Seed priming with salicyl...

INVESTIGATION OF SEED GERMINATION CHARACTERISTICS AND RECOVERY OF GERRMINATION IN THE HALOXYLON APHYLLUM UNDER DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE AND SALINITY CONDITIONS

Haloxylon aphyllum is one of the most important species in sandy and saline areas in deserts, and some ecophysiology characters for viability in unfavorable condition have evaluated in this species. Seed germination is the critical stages in life cycle for species survival. In this study investigated salinity and temperature stresses on percentage and velocity of germination using six salinity ...

Changes in proline, protein, catalase and germination characteristics of barley seeds under salinity stress

Objective of this study was to evaluation Changes in proline, catalase and germination characteristics of barley seeds under salinity stress. Salinity stress at osmotic potentials of 0 (as control), 4, -8, -12 and -16 bar were adjusted using NaCl before the start of the experiment. Our results showed that, the effect of salinity levels for all traits was significantly. With, increases of salini...

Effect of priming on germination indices of deteriorated seeds of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) in salinity conditions

In order to investigate the effect of priming on germination characteristics of aged pumpkin seeds, under salinity stress an experiment was performed as a factorial design in a completely randomized design with 4 replications. Experiment was done in the Seed Science and Technology Laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Mohaghegh Ardabili University. Treatments included ...
