In order to investigate the effects of priming methods on the improvement of seed germination indices and seedling growth of Lallemantia (Lallemantia Iberica) under different salinity levels, two factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design were carried out in the seed technology laboratory of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Khuzestan in 2018-2019. In the...

Chamomile (Anthemis haussknechtii Boiss. & Reut. and Anthemis pseudocotula Boiss.) are annual, medicinal and aromatic plant belong to Asteraceae family. This two species have special important in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Current study was carried out to investigation of different pre-treatments for enhancement of seed emergence potential, rate of emergence and v...

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is a widely used medicinal plant possessing several pharmacological effects due to presence of active compounds. In order to study of seed priming effects on seedling growth of chamomile, an experimental design, based on randomized complete design with three replications was conducted under greenhouse conditions in Research Institute of Forests and Rangeland...

Generally, primed seeds produce larger and heavier plants than non-primed seeds. This may be simply due to rapid emergence and extension of leaf growth, or the influence of other physiological processes. The effect of seed pretreatment with salicylic acid (SA) on some physiological and photosynthetic characteristics of the safflower seedlings, cv. Goldasht, was examined under field condition. T...

Soil salinity affects a large part of the region in Iran. Salinity covers 12.5% oftotal area of the country. Priming of seeds in sodium chloride and water (hydro-priming)has been reported to be a simple technique for enhancing the seedling establishment andgermination performance in the seeds of many crops and small seeded grasses under thestress conditions. Therefore, the aim of this research ...

in order to study of the effects of hydro-osmo priming, bio-priming (biological fertilizer (barvar-2) and inoculation with rhizobium japonicum bacteria) on growth & yield of dpx cultivar of soybean (glycine max l.), an experiment was carried out as factorial based on a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 4 replications in agriculture research station of shahrood university of technolog...

background and objectives: seedy watermelon (citrullus lanatus) is a crop that is planted in as a second crop after winter crops some parts of country. this crop is more attended by farmers due to the short time between planting and maturity, low production costs and greater profitability rather than other spring crops. in order to evaluate the interaction effects between weeds and seed priming...

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. ...
