چکیده
length of buds and roots, and with the increase in weight of the gerrninating seeds. By regression analysis, the heat produced peT unit of bud and root growth was found to be ai = O.572S J/mm ef bud and a2 = O.7093 Jlmm of root. respectively, with a correlation coefficient of O,9577, From these results we conclude that the calorimetric deterrnination of the heat generated during geTmination is a valid reflection of the geTmination activity of radish seeds. Our calorimetric method is applicable to the quantitative investigation of the viable activity of plant seeds,

Retraction notice for: Carbon nanotubes are able to penetrate plant seed coat and dramatically affect seed germination and plant growth.
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were found to penetrate tomato seeds and affect their germination and growth rates. The germination was found to be dramatically higher for seeds that germinated on medium containing CNTs (10-40 mug/mL) compared to control. Analytical methods indicated that the CNTs are able to penetrate the thick seed coat and support water uptake inside seeds, a process which can affec...
متن کاملIdentification 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...
متن کاملDormancy and germination response of Galbanum seeds (Ferula gummosa) under different hormonal pre-treatments and cold stratification
Extended Abstract Introduction: Galbanum is one of the most important native medicinal plants in Iran, and nowadays the use of its products and derivatives has become widespread in various industries. Thus, the excessive harvest of this species within its natural habitats has increased. Therefore, the species is enlisted as prone to extinction. Due to the lack of information about germination ...
متن کاملPriming of prosopis cineraria (L.) druce and acacia tortilis (forssk) seeds with fulvic acid extracted from compost to improve germination and seedling vigor
Composting of waste plant materials and its use in agriculture and landscape sites is an environmental friendly way of reducing waste material and conserving the environment. In this perspectives a survey has been performed at the Dubai based International Center for Biosaline Agriculture to compost the plants based waste material (lawn cuttings-grass) to compost. The material was inoculated wi...
متن کاملGermination Patterns in Naturally Chilled and Nonchilled Seeds of Fierce Thornapple (Datura ferox) and Velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti)
Seeds from natural populations of fierce thornapple and velvetleaf collected in a corn-growing area in central Spain were incubated at a range of constant temperatures and water potentials to model the progress of germination on the basis of the accumulation of hydrothermal time. Previous to the germination tests, the seeds were treated in two different ways: (1) dark storage under dry conditio...
