germination response to temperature of snail medic (medicago scutellata l.)

Authors
abstract

germination response to temperature is different among plant seeds. germination rate and percentage is maximal at optimum temperature (s), and then reach to zero at base and ceiling temperatures. the objective of this research was (1) to evaluate germination response of snail medic seeds to temperature and (2) to determine cardinal temperatures of germination rate and percentage. therefore, seeds germinated at 10 to 40oc by 5oc interval. results indicated that response of germination percentage and rate adequately described with dent-like and segmented functions, continually. base and ceiling temperatures were obtained 0.46 and about 40oc for both germination rate and percentage. optimum temperatures were 15-27.73oc for germination percentage and 22.22oc for germination rate.

A trypsin inhibitor cDNA from a novel source, snail medic (Medicago scutellata L.): cloning and functional expression in response to wounding, herbivore, jasmonic and salicylic acid

A cDNA clone coding for the trypsin inhibitor MsTI from snail medic (Medicago scutellata L.) was isolated by RT-PCR using poly(A)+ mRNA purified from immature seeds. A partial cDNA fragment was produced using degenerated oligonucleotides designed from the available MsTI amino acid sequence. The full-length cDNA was obtained by RACE-PCR experiments. A putative signal peptide for subcellular loca...

Investigating the Effects of Pod Elimination on Salinity Tolerance in Annual Medic (Medicago scutellata L.)

In most southern provinces of Iran, Soil Salinity is a growing problem particularly in the irrigated agricultural areas and has been found to reduce crop yields. In order to investigate the role of pod removal in seed germination, seedling growth and antioxidant enzymes activity in annual medics (Medicago scutella L.) under salinity stress conditions, a factorial experiment was conducted at Col...

Evaluation of seed yield and competition indices for intercropped barley (Hordeum vulgare) and annual medic (Medicago scutellata)

Annual medic is an annual crop which performs well in various forage cropping systems. However availability of medic seeds is a major challenge for livestock producers in Iran. This study was conducted to determine if intercropping annual medic with barley can produce supplement medic seeds while barley grain yield as the main crop is not compromised. Two experiments were carried out at the exp...

واکنش جوانه¬زنی یونجه حلزونی (Medicago scutellata L.) به دما

واکنش جوانه¬زنی بذرهای گیاهان مختلف به دما گوناگون است. سرعت و درصد جوانه¬زنی ¬در دما (های) مطلوب در حداکثر خود است و در دمای سقف و پایه به صفر می¬رسد. هدف از این مطالعه (1) بررسی واکنش جوانه¬زنی به دما و (2) ارزیابی دماهای کاردینال برای درصد و سرعت جوانه¬زنی در یونجه حلزونی بود. آزمایش به صورت تجزیه مرکب در قالب طرح کاملا تصادفی انجام شد. بنابراین، بذرها در دماهای 10 تا 40 درجه سانتی¬گراد با ف...

Seed Proteinase Inhibitors from Annual Medics Active against Insect Pests

11-19 ABSTRACT Several different species of annual medics have been tested for the occurrence and concentration of trypsin inhibitors in the seed. Trypsin Inhibitory Activity (TIA) has been in fact related to the level of resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Wide variation was found for TIA among species, with the highest values shown by the snail medic (Medicago scutellata). After a simp...

Germination of Three Native Lupinus Species in Response to Temperature

Understanding germination requirements of native species is an important component of restoration in south Puget Lowland prairies (Washington, USA). We conducted an experiment to determine the effects of pre-germination treatment and germination temperature conditions on the proportional germination of three species of Lupinus. For one species, Lupinus lepidus, germination was highest following...
