To further elucidate the regulation of dormancy release, we followed the natural afterripening of Virginia-type peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seeds from about the 5th to 40th week after harvest. Seeds were kept at low temperature (3 +/- 2 C) until just prior to testing for germination, ethylene production, and internal ethylene concentration. Germination tended to fluctuate but did not increase ...

Total abstention from food and water from sunrise to sunset during the month of  Ramadan, is practiced by hundreds of millions of Muslims throughout the world. This pattern of fasting during Ramadan is different from the usual fasting as people are allowed to eat and drink between sunset and dawn but not after dawn. The amount and type of food (rich in protein, fat and sugar) eaten during the n...

anastrepha bezzii (diptera: tephritidae) larvae are common inside fruits of sterculia chicha (malvaceae) in minas gerais state, brazil. the seed dormancy and attack by a. bezzii of the native species s.chicha can be detrimental to seed germination and thus the natural spread of this plant. the objectives of the current study were to compare ecological observations of a. bezzii and s. chicha in ...

aegilops triuncialis l. (2n=4x=28; ctctutut) is one of the tetraploid aegilops species harboring valuable genes for resistance to many biotic and abiotic stresses. in the present study the bread wheat cultivars mv17, navid, omid, pishgam, zarin were crossed with an accession of ae. triuncialis and the resulted f1 and f2 (obtained by the selfing of f1 plants) hybrids studied using the convention...

reactive oxygen species cause to release of dormancy in many plants such as sunflower seeds. this study investigated in order to evaluation role of reactive oxygen species germination and lipid proxidation in sunflower seeds. this study was performed in two separate experiments, each in a completely randomized design with factorial design with four replications.  in both experiments, uses from ...

wych elm (ulmus glabra hudson) is one of the forest species in hyrcanian forests of iran and considered as threatened species due to its narrow ecological range, over-exploitation, as well as dutch elm disease. in order to evaluate the possibility of cryopreservation of ulmus glabra seeds for long-term preservation, seeds were collected from natural habitats and three pre-treatment methods incl...

Domestication of animals has had some important effects on physiology, morphology, behavior and well-being of domesticated animals. Conscious or goal directed selections on animals for increasing their productions has accelerated the rate of the changes, leading to some well-being defections. This paper notes some aspects of animal domestication in context of genetic science. Then explains how ...
