This study aimed to investigate the effects of priming treatments on germination indices soybean cultivars under osmotic stress in a completely randomized design with factorial arrangement botany laboratory located Kordestan Province, Sanandaj, Iran. Experimental included three (control and gibberellin at concentration 0.04%), cultivar (Clark Hobbit), -1.5MPa) replications. The standard test wa...

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is one of the most important methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). In this research, a numerical model, based on finite volume method, is investigated. The applied method solves the conservation of mass, momentum, energy and species transport equations with aid of ideal gas law. Using this model, the growth rate and thickness uniformity of produced CNTs,...

Salinity is one of the environmental factors that have a critical influence on the germination of seeds and plant establishment. Salinity affects imbibition, germination and root elongation. In this study, the germination characteristics of Matricaria comomilla and Thymus deanensis were studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of salinity on germination of these species....

Hydrotime is a way to describe the relationship between water potential (ψ) and seed germination rates and percentages. The minimum ψ that allows germination to be completed is called the base water potential (ψb). The germination rate (inverse of time to radicle emergence) increases linearly as the seed ψ increases above ψb to its maximum rate in water (ψ = 0 MPa). As ψb values vary among indi...

The physiological process of germination depends on several environmental factors such as temperature, water potential, light, nutrients and smoke. Water and temperature are determinant factors for seed germination. Both factors can, separately or jointly, affect the germination percentage and germination rate. The effect of temperature on germination and water potential on germination canoften...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different temperatures on seed germination of plantago ovata and also to evaluate cardinal temperatures. various constant temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35ºc) were conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications. the germinated seeds were counted every day and the rate of germination percentage, cumulative germin...
