MUTATIONS WITH GAMMA IRRADIATION ON DORMANT SEEDS OF A PARTIALLY ASYNAPTIC STRAIN IN RICE

Effect of age on germination of dormant seeds.

Dormant seeds in permanent soil seed banks change their germination probability with age, but little is known about the causes of this behavior. Since current adaptive models do not consider the age structure of the seed bank, the sole explanation is that changes in germination probability with age are due to passive accidental factors or to decay of seeds. Here we present a theory, which shows...

A Multi-omic Approach to Reveal the Effect of Low-level Gamma Radiation on Rice Seeds

Effects of gamma irradiation on antioxidant activity of Ergosan

Background: The approaches chosen for control of Outbreaks of infectious diseases in Aquatic farming industry include improvement of environmental conditions, stocking of specific pathogen free (SPF) brood stockings, and application of vaccines and immunostimulants. Despite numerous studies on the effects of Ergosan on immune system of aquatic animals, there is no data available on ant...

Temperature effects on oxidative metabolism of dormant sugar pine seeds.

When dormant sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana L.) seeds were imbibed at 5 degrees C, they showed a rapid increase in O(2) uptake, ATP level, and moisture content during the first 4 days. This was followed by a plateau phase until 60 days, after which a second significant increase in all three features occurred as dormancy was broken. During the plateau phase, conventional CN-sensitive respiration ...

Simulation of gamma irradiation system for a ballast water treatment

  ABSTRACT Background: Invasion  by  different  kinds  of  ballast  water  microorganisms  is  one  of  the  most important  marine  environment  problems  around  the  world therefore  preventing the  invasion  of  these  unwanted  and  harmful  stowaways  is  one  of  the  main strategies  of  responsible  agencies.  Some  of  these  methods  such  as  ocean excha...
