introduction legumes are the most important source of vegetable protein supply. mungbean (vigna radiate (l.) wilczek) produces seeds contain 22-25 percent protein and high nutritional value for human and also is a major source of protein in most modern societies. rapid seed germination and emergency, is an important factor determining the ultimate yield of the plant. salinity is the most import...

prediction of seasonal weed seedling emergence patterns is useful in weed management programs. this study was carried out in research fields of islamic azad university – karaj branch in 2009-2010. five crop fields were chosen including: barley, sugar beet and three wheat fields and in each fields between 3 to 5 sites selected randomly. three quadrates were fixed in each sites for studying weeds...

in order to evaluate the effect of freezing stress on electrolyte leakage of three mooseers’ (allium altissimum regel.) ecotypes (shirvan, kalat and tandoureh), a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was carried out under the controlled conditions in the faculty of agricultural, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2009. plants were grown in...

Tree species can differ in their responses to resource availability during the critical phase of establishment, which could influence forest dynamics. In Mediterranean forests, most of the attention has focused on the effects of shade and summer drought on seedling survival, but little is known about the effect of autumn to spring rains on earlier stages of recruitment. A sowing experiment was ...

at the crop level, the drought stress accounts for most variations in yield. a controlled glasshouse investigation at day/night temperatures of 22/15°c based at perth city, western australia was performed (in 2006) to assess the influence of different soil moisture contents (field capacity percentage basis) on emergence as well as early plant growth in twenty chickpea genotypes. the experiment ...

background: although borage ( borago officinalis l.) is a valuable medicinal plant, no information is available on the responses of this plant to salinity. for this reason, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity .  objective: since germination and early growth stage is one of the most critical phases of plant life under salinity condition this experiment was conducted ...

in order to study the effect of folic acid on seed reserves partitioning and early vigor of seedlings of kavir wheat cultivar, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mm of folic acid. results of this study indicated that dry weight of seeds decreased in a same pattern in all treatments and about 6-8% of total seed was structural section. ...

Cold temperature is an important abiotic stress affecting sorghum production in temperate regions. It reduces seed germination, seedling emergence and seedling vigor thus limiting the production of the crop both temporally and spatially. The objectives of this study were (1) to assess early season cold temperature stress response of sorghum germplasm from cooler environments and identify source...
