The effect of exogenous silicon on seed germination and seedling growth of wheat cultivars under salt stress conditions

ABSTRACT- Seed germination and early seedling growth are critical stages for plants establishment and production, particularly under salinity conditions. Exogenous application of silicon (Si) can enhance germination as well as seedling growth. In this experiment, the effect of priming with Si (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 2.25 mM sodium silicate) on seed germination and seedling growth under NaCl (0, 100 a...

Response of wheat seed germination and seedling growth under copper stress.

The experiment was performed to study the seed germination and seedling growth in wheat under the influence of different concentrations of copper. The germination %, plumule and radicle length, and number of lateral roots decreased with increase in copper concentration (5, 25, 50 and 100 mgl(-1)). Total chlorophyll contents declined on 14th day from 1.605 of control to 1.581, 1.242, 1.275 and 1...

Changes of Seed Germination during the Year

It is possible to conclude that typical course of graph which analyse course of germinability during the year at every cultivar is observable. Germination usually shows a minimum in December, but mainly in January and in February. Maximum of germinability is observed in the spring and summer time. This phenomenon isn’t result of the dormancy or secondary dormancy because during of long term see...

New Roles of Phytochromes during Seed Germination

Among the most important environmental sensors in plants are the phytochromes, members of a duplicatedgene family of photoreceptors. We characterized the functional diversification of this gene family with respect to a single ecologically important and highly environmentally sensitive process—germination—and thereby addressed the consequence of gene duplication in the evolution of environmental...

Salt Tolerance on Seed Germination of Five Leymus Species

To determine the effect of salt stress on seed germination of Leymus species, seeds of Leymus racemosus (Lam.) Tzvel., Leymus angustus (Trin.) Pilger, Leymus multicaulis (Kar. et Kir.) Tzvel., Leymus duthiei (Stapf) Y. H. Zhou et H. Q. Zhang and Leymus secalinus (Georgi) Tzvel. were treated with NaCl solutions of different concentration: 0 mmol/L, 100 mmol/L, 200 mmol/L, 300 mmol/L, 400 mmol/L ...
