INITIAL SPROUT GROWTH OF POTATO SEED MINITUBERS UNDER SALT STRESS

The effect of exogenous silicon on seed germination and seedling growth of wheat cultivars under salt stress conditions

ABSTRACT- Seed germination and early seedling growth are critical stages for plants establishment and production, particularly under salinity conditions. Exogenous application of silicon (Si) can enhance germination as well as seedling growth. In this experiment, the effect of priming with Si (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 2.25 mM sodium silicate) on seed germination and seedling growth under NaCl (0, 100 a...

Dual effects of ethylene on potato dormancy and sprout growth.

Dormant potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum L.) of two cultivars were treated with various concentrations of ethylene gas for various exposure periods. As has been shown by others, ethylene caused a rapid but transient increase in respiration rate, which appeared to be independent of any effects on dormancy. All concentrations tested caused accelerated sprouting, 2 microliters per liter being the ...

The effect of different priming methods on seed and seedlings of Lallemantia under salt stress

In order to investigate the effects of priming methods on the improvement of seed germination indices and seedling growth of Lallemantia (Lallemantia Iberica) under different salinity levels, two factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design were carried out in the seed technology laboratory of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Khuzestan in 2018-2019. In the...

Antioxidant Isozymes Activities in Potato Plants (Solanum tuberosum L.) Under Salt Stress

effect of salicylic acid and salt stress on seed germination and functional antioxidant in broccoli sprout

sulforaphane is a strong anticarsenogen compound which is produced in broccoli. it seems salt stress improves sulforaphane production via systemic acquired resistance. to obtain suitable salt concentration and for having more content of sulforaphane with controlling germination percentage, nacl in 5 levels 0, 50, 100, 150, 200 mm (0, 4.53, 9.125, 13.68, 18.25 ds/m ) and salicylic acid in 3 leve...
