abstract

canola is one of the most important crops in the world and ranked as the third most important oil seed crop. adverse environmental storage conditions including high temperature and relative humidity could affect canola seed quality. the aim of this study was to evaluate the seed quality of canola seed under various seed moisture content, temperature and storage time using okapi cultivar. also, electrical conductivity of seeds was measured. moreover, seed viability constants were estimated using germination responses. seeds with various moisture contents (5, 9, 13, 17%) were kept under five temperatures (5, 15, 25, 35, and 45°c) for six months. every month, seeds were taken and transferred to 20°c for viability test. germination test last for seven days. analysis of variance indicated significant differences for all interaction effects. according to the results, seeds with 5% moisture content stored at 5°c had the highest germination percentage and the least deteriorated state even after 6 months. high temperatures along with higher moisture content resulted in more deterioration. electrical conductivity increased under aforementioned conditions. estimates of ke = 5.65359, cw = 2.49975, ch = 0.04387, cq = 0.00001438 were derived for prediction of storage length

Impact of Storage Fungi on Soybean Seed Deterioration in Different Storage Conditions and Seed Moisture Content

DOR: 98.1000/2383-1251.1398.6.65.11.1. 1578.1585 Extended Abstract Introduction: Understanding the complex characteristics that control the life span of the seed has ecological, agricultural and economic importance. Inappropriate storage conditions after harvesting destroy a large part of annual yield partly due to microbial activity in the storage. Damage from storage fungi varies based ...

The Influence of NaCl Priming on Seed Germination and Seedling Growth of Canola (Brassica napus L.) Under Salinity Conditions

A laboratorial study was carried out to investigate the effect of NaCl priming on seed germination and seedling growth of canola. Canola seeds were primed with 1% NaCl solution for 24 hours, at 20°C. Then primed and non-primed seeds were irrigated with seven different saline solutions consisted of 0 (control), 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50% concentrations of NaCl. Results indicated that...

Germination and viability coefficients of Faba Bean (Vicia faba) seed under different storage conditions

Extended Abstract Introduction: Pulses are among the best sources of plant protein and important components of crop rotation, which in recent years, have been considered one of the major options for plant research. Seed storage is one of the important traits in legume breeding. Storage temperature, seed moisture content, and storage duration are the most important factors affecting seed qualit...

Constitutive expression of a PR10 protein enhances the germination of Brassica napus under saline conditions.

Pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are expressed by virtually all plants in response to pathogen infection and, in many cases, in response to abiotic stresses as well and include the PR10 family. However, the precise roles of the PR10 protein family in abiotic stress responses are not clear. In this paper we report, for the first time, that the constitutive expression of a pea PR10 gene in Bras...

EFFECTS OF NaCl TREATMENTS ON SEED GERMINATION AND ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY OF CANOLA (BRASSICA NAPUS L.) CULTIVARS

Effects of salt stress on germination, seedling growth and activity of antioxidant enzymes in leaves of six cultivars of canola (Brassica napus L.) were investigated on two F1 hybrids (Hyola401, Hyola330) and four open pollinated cultivars (Zarfam, Okapi, RGs003 and Sarigol). Seeds were germinated under various levels of salinity (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl solutions). An increase in NaCl ...

Seed viability, germination and seedling growth of canola (Brassica napus L.) as influenced by chemical mutagens

Mutation induction is considered as an effective way to enrich plant genetic variation, particularly for traits with a very low level of genetic variation. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of different dosages of chemical mutagens on seed germination, seed viability and seedling growth characteristics and to identify optimum treatment conditions for chemical mutagens bas...
