چکیده
MUT, Z. and H. AKAY, 2010. Effect of seed size and drought stress on germination and seedling growth of naked oat (Avena sativa L.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 459-467 Effects of seed size and osmotic stress on germination and seedling growth of five naked oat genotypes were investigated in this study. Oat genotypes were Mozart, CROA 60, Detvan, Eva 1 and AC Belmont. Small, medium and large seeds of five naked oat genotypes were germinated in polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000) solutions with initial osmotic potentials ranging from 0 to -0.75 MPa at 8°C. Final germination percentage, median germination time, root length and shoot length were measured in this study. In all genotypes examined, decreasing seed size and osmotic potential increased median germination time (MGT) and decreased final germination percentage (FGP), root and shoot length. Among genotypes, CROA 60, Eva 1 and AC Belmont had the highest final germination percentage while AC Belmont had the fastest median germination time and the highest root and shoot length. The study results also show that large seed of genotype such as AC Belmont seems better fitted to germinate under the range of osmotic potential in this study.

Avena fatua and Phalaris minor are narrow-leaved weeds that pose problems for many crops. In order to study the effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) on germination and initial seedling growth of Avena fatua and Phalaris minor, an experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with 4 replications under laboratory conditions during 2011-2012. Eight lev...

Mitochondria are the source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells and play a central role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) cycles; however, ROS production and regulation for seed germination, seedling growth, as well as mitochondrial responses to abiotic stress, are not clear. This study was conducted to obtain basic information on...
