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...

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv Minetto) seeds were primed in aerated solutions of 1% K(3)PO(4) or water at 15 degrees C in the dark for various periods of time to determine the manner by which seed priming bypasses thermodormancy. Seeds which were not primed did not germinate at 35 degrees C, whereas those which were primed for 20 h in 1% K(3)PO(4) or distilled H(2)O had up to 86% germination. T...

The effect of pre-sowing priming with gibberellic acid (GA3) solution (50 mg/L) on acorn germination and growth characteristics 47-day-old plants Quercus robur Q. rubra was studied under laboratory conditions. varied depending the oak species development phase plants. After priming, 86% acorns germinated that exceeded control by 25%, while number sprouted at level amounted to 85%. were divided ...

in arid and semi arid, seedling emergence and establishment are key stages for final plant density in chickpea production. drought stress, especially at the end of the growing season, is one of the factors which decrease a main part of chickpea grain yield in these areas. therefore the aims of this study were assess to the effects of hydro priming and hormonal priming by gibberellin and abscisi...

The effect of albumin priming on the plasma volume, intravascular bilirubin, and HBABAbinding capacity during the subsequent 2 to 4j hours before exchange transfusion was studied in 7 jaundiced neonates with no haemolytic disease. After priming with albumin at ...

BACKGROUND Both ketamine and priming may accelerate the onset time of neuromuscular blocking agents. We investigate the effect of low dose ketamine and cisatracurium priming on the intubating condition and onset time of cisatracurium. METHODS After Institutional Review Board approval, 120 consecutive patients undergoing general anesthesia were randomly assigned to one of 4 groups. All patient...
