Seed priming, as a low-cost method, is a technique commonly used to increase germination percentage especially under unfavorable conditions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of bio-priming on the germination of canola (Brassica napus L.) seeds under saline (NaCl) conditions. Seeds of canola var. Hyola 401 were inoculated with plant growth-promoting microorganism (PGPM) in...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of chemical stimuli on germination and seedling growth of Caper (Capparis Spinosa) under drought stress. Methods: Factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment were performed. First factor of priming include three levels of acetylsalicylic acid (300, 200 and 100 mg/L), gibberellic acid levels (500, 250 and 12...

introduction proteins are one of the basic and essential required compounds for life, and the creatures receive it either from a plant or animal origin. it has been reported that the positive effects caused by applying the magnetic field are due to the paramagnetic properties of the cells within the plant, and pigments such as the chloroplast. biophysical methods (magnetic fields, electricity, ...

Drought stress is a serious threat to the germination of plant seeds and growth seedlings. Melatonin has been proven play an important role in alleviating stress. However, its effect on seed under drought conditions still poorly understood. Therefore, we studied effects melatonin rice physiological characteristics Rice were treated with different concentrations (i.e., 0, 20, 100, 500 μM) was si...

the genus thymus is perennial medicinal plants belong to the lamiaceae familythat is used for different propose in pharmaceutical industry. environmental stresses,particularly salinity, are considered as the major factor reducing plant growth. the purpose ofthis study was to investigate the effects of salt stress on germination characteristics andseedling morphology in two medicinal species of ...

The relationships between variations in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot noir) growth and resulting fruit and wine phenolic composition were investigated. The study was conducted in a commercial vineyard consisting of the same clone, rootstock, age, and vineyard management practices. The experimental design involved monitoring soil, vine growth, yield components, and fruit composition (so...
