Non-thermal Plasma for Germination Enhancement of Radish Seeds

Identification of predominant epiphytic and endophytic bacterial isolates in rice seeds effective for enhancement of seed germination and plant growth

ABSTRACT-During rice growing season, the symptomless rice seeds from different paddy fields in Guilan province, Iran, were collected. After isolation of epiphytic and endophytic bacteria, 39 isolates including 19 epiphytes and 20 endophytes were selected based on the predominant characteristics. Five Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were obtained based on PCR-RFLP of 16S r-DN...

Investigating the Germination Characteristics of Poterium sanguisorba Seeds under the Influence of Thermal Treatments for Pasture Establishment

Common burnet (Poterium sanguisorba) is a perennial herb from rose family (Rosaceae) which is used to construct pastures. The studied plant can resist against freezing, cool and drought. The present study was conducted to study the seed germination parameters of common burnet in different thermal treatments as completely randomized design in 4 replications in 2013. Treatments involved the effec...

determination of suitable medium for non symbiotic germination of self pollinated seeds of phalaenopsis ‘kyoto’

in this study, in vitro non-symbiotic germination of self pollinated seeds, protocorms survival percentage and protocorms growth of phalaenopsis ‘kyoto’ were investigated. for this purpose, five different modified media include vasin and went (vw), murashing and skoog (ms), ½ ms, knudson c (kc), fast that supplemented with two g/l peptone, 15 percent sterile coconut water or two g/l peptone tog...

Priming Effect of on the Enhancement of Germination Traits in Aged Seeds of Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) Seeds Preserved in Medium and Long-term Storage

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is a widely used medicinal plant possessing several pharmacological effects due to presence of active compounds. In order to study of seed priming effects on seedling growth of chamomile, an experimental design, based on randomized complete design with three replications was conducted under greenhouse conditions in Research Institute of Forests and Rangeland...
