Salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stress factors limiting the plants' growth. Seed priming is known as a method which improves the germination performance in seeds in stress conditions. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Hydropriming and Halopriming on germination performance of Secale montanum while growing under the NaCl-salinity stress. Hydropr...

Background & Aim: Because of seed germination ability of medicinal plants seed is low and, generally exposed to problem. Priming is one of the techniques that help seeds to be germinated faster and uniformly. Experimental: A laboratory experiment was carried out on germination and growth improvement in Heracleum persicum Desf.  by seed osmo-primming in Seed Technology Labora...

Field experiments were conducted during 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides NICOSULFURON and EPTC alone or in combination with seed priming on weed control and corn yield. NICOSULFURON (80 g a.i. ha‒1) was applied at four- to six-leaf stage of corn as post-emergence and EPTC (4920 g a.i. ha‒1) applied as pre-plant incorporation (PPI). Among the herbicide treatments, the lowest ...

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...

Background: Medical plants production, including borago, is for maximum productivity from their effective ingredients’. Flowers, leaves and seed oil are medical parts of borago. Unfortunately, because of little breeding and domestication programs in medical plants, including borago, their establishments are usually slow. One of the effective techniques for solving this problem is seed priming. ...

wheat, cv. alvand, under late sowing condition and comparison with conventional sowing date was investigated in a field experiment in 2009-2010. the factors were seven levels of priming by sa, including control or untreated seeds, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µm sa and two sowing dates including conventional sowing date (23 october) and late sowing (22 november). results showed that prim...

Studies on French adults using a written lexical decision task with masked priming, in which targets were more primed by consonant- (jalu-JOLI) than vowel-related (vobi-JOLI) primes, support the proposal that consonants have weight vowels processing. This study examines phonological and/or nature of this consonant bias (C-bias), sandwich priming brief presentation target (pre-prime) precedes pr...

this study examined whether processing ambiguous sentences containing relative clauses (rcs) following a complex determiner phrase (dp) by persian-speaking learners of l2 english with different proficiency and working memory capacities (wmcs) is affected by semantic priming. the semantic relationship studied was one between the subject/verb of the main clause and one of the dps in the complex d...
