[ 1 ] - Methods for overcoming seed dormancy in jimsonweed (Datura stramonium L.)
This study aimed to examine dormancy-breaking of jimsonweed seeds. Seeds were collected from Hamedan. They were subjected to different treatments: (a) concentrated sulfuric acid for 1, 1.5, and 2 min; (b) hot water at 80°C and 90°C for 5 and 10 min; (c) mechanical scarification with sandpaper; (d) light exposure for 10, 20, and 30 days; and (e) fluctuating temperature (5–15°C). The highest germ...
[ 2 ] - Effect of hydropriming on morphological and physiological performance of aged groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seeds
Low viability and poor vigour due to seed deterioration are major problems for successful agricultural production. In this experiment, the ability of hydropriming to ameliorate seed deterioration damage was studied in groundnut. Groundnut seeds were subjected to accelerated ageing for 96 hours at 40 °C and then hydroprimed at 25 °C for 6, 12 and 18 hours. Regardless of duration, hydropriming si...
[ 3 ] - Hormonal priming to overcome drought stress and aging damage in groundnut seed (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Groundnut seed priming was performed with an aqueous solution of gibberellic acid (GA3) (0, 50, 100, and 150 ppm for 18h) and accelerated aging (96 h) was done prior to drought stress (-0.4, -0.6, and -0.8 MPa), then recovered. Investigated traits were germination percentage, mean germination time, germination rate, vigor index, plumule length, radicle length, seedling length, malondialdehyde c...
