Following excision, etiolated epicotyl segments of Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska exhibit a marked hyperpolarization of membrane potential which is followed by a linear accumulation of K(+) when segments are incubated in Higinbotham nutrient solution. Segments aged for several hours and then reexcised display only a slight depolarization of membrane potential and no delay in ion accumulation; thus...

Aconitum heterophyllum is a critically endangered medicinal plant species of Indian Himalayas. Micropropagation of this plant is considered important for its ex-situ conservation as well as to generate large scale planting material for commercial supply. During the present study, seeds were taken as starting material. Seeds of A. heterophyllum are associated with a dormancy period and so optimi...

Aquaporins play a major role in governing the movement of water between neighboring cells during seed germination and are major players in response to abiotic stress conditions that affect water availability. Seeds of pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Arkel) were used for studying cell growth, expression and function of aquaporins during seed imbibition, radicle emergence and growth.Water channel funct...

The increasing intensity of coronavirus (COVID-19) spreading emphasizes the significant development in home food production to reduce incoming socioeconomic impact from soaring prices, supply chain fragility, and severe economic crisis. This preliminary study was initiated demonstrate possibility using electrospun fibers as a potential substrate application seed germination activity. drive this...

chamomile (matricaria recutita) is a highly valuable medicinal and aromatic plant of asteraceae family and its anthodia used frequently in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. the aim of this study was the evaluation the effect of drought stress induced by polyethylene glycol 6000 (peg) on germination percentage, germination rate, plumule and radicle length of four improved cultivars of germ...

Climate change in the form of drought will reduce agricultural production, so it is necessary to develop superior drought-tolerant varieties. The study aimed determine local upland rice cultivars at germination stage. From September December 2021, was carried out Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, Faculty Agriculture, Tadulako University, Palu, Center Sulawesi, Indonesia. A completely rand...

Salinity and heavy metal stresses are great hindrances to germination the early developmentof plants. Nickel (Ni) is an indispensable micronutrient for plants at low while toxic in highconcentrations. Citrullus colocynth L. a medicinal cucurbit weed desert agriculturalareas. Germination development of seedlings determine future plant. Thecontemporary target study appraise influence single combi...

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) increase the germination percentage and vigor of seeds, thus determining aspects for efficient production seedlings prompt establishment crops in field. In this study, effect biopriming was evaluated: Bacillus cereus (KBEndo4P6), Acinetobacter radioresistens (KBEndo3P1), Pseudomonas paralactis (KBEndo6P7), Sinorhizobium meliloti (KBEkto9P6) on some pa...

Salt stress is one of the most important environmental factors that affect agricultural lands and causes product loss. Today, application various natural or synthetic molecules exogenously to plants efforts increase plant tolerance against stresses as a result these applications have been widely investigated by scientists. In this study, Schiff base molecule (0, 3, 6, 9 µM), which has shown in ...
