priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increased seed performance (germination and emergence), seedling growth and plant yield under stress conditions, such as salinity, temperature and drought stress. in order to evaluate the effect of growth hormones on morphology characteristics and essential oil of basil under drought stress condition, a experiment was cond...

Gibberellins (GA) are the decisive players in seed germination whose functionality could be adversely affected by presence of cadmium (Cd); however, underlying mechanisms unclear. Eco-toxicological effects Cd (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 µM) on early stages ontogenesis a mung bean variety (ML-2056) were investigated. Seed characteristics along with Cd-tolerance index recorded at seventh day germinat...

Potassium (K), an important nutrient element, can improve the stress resistance/tolerance of crops. The application K in resisting plant-parasitic nematodes shows that treatment reduce occurrence nematode diseases and increase crop yield. However, data on K2SO4 induced rice resistance against root-knot Meloidogyne graminicola are still lacking. In this work, reduced galls plants delayed develop...

In order to evaluate the effects of seed priming with salicylic acid (SA) (0, 2, 10, and 20 mM) to increase salt tolerance (0, 50, 100, 150, and 200 mM NaCl) in medicinal plant Dracocephalum moldavica at seed germination, an experiment was conducted as factorial in a completely randomized design with four replicates. The assessed parameters included germination percentage and rate, len...

Priming of seeds increases uniformly germination rate in cultivated and wild species as well, it also shortens emergence time. Beautiful vavilovia, Vavilovia formasa (Stev.) Al. Fed. is a relict endangered legume crop which the closest relatives genus Pisum L. In beautiful seed priming has ignored due to insufficient production plant. present report, three including hydro-priming, glycerol (%1)...

in order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of shiraz university. results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...
