The influence of electric field treatment on dedifferentiation and calli formation on rape hypocotyls was investigated. Segments, 10 mm long, of the upper part of rape (Brassica napus L., cv. Góczański) hypocotyls were stimulated by different combinations of voltage/time (1.5 V/120 h, 3 V/3 h, 10 V/15 min and 30 V/30 s) under in vitro conditions. With all electric field treatments, segments ori...

The demand for bigger, better, faster-growing seedlings has been ever-growing. As a result, forest seedling production is a continually evolving technology in reforestation. Evaluating seedling quality is crucial for understanding seedling development in the nursery, as well as subsequent field growth and survival. Stock quality, however, often is assessed inconsistently and on only a limited b...

in order to evaluation the effect of drought stress on germination indices and early seedling growth of medicinal herb dill (anethum graveolens l), an experiment was conducted in the agricultural laboratory of urmia payam noor university in 2015 as a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were five levels of drought stress (0, -1, -2, -3 and -4 bar induced by polyet...

in order to study effect of seed weight on germination and growth of wheat seedling, an experiment in seed technology laboratory of aboureihan paradise university of tehran in 2005 has been done. in this experiment, at first stage, the seeds separated by longitude step, latitude step and set frequency parameters of gravity separator set. in second stage, 10 treatments of 1000 seed weight entere...

Ethanol extracts from the different parts of B. orellana showed differential antimicrobial activity. It was found that the extracts of in vitro leaves showed maximum activity against Bacillus pumilus followed by the extracts from the roots and hypocotyls. The callus derived from different explants too showed antimicrobial activity. The leaf callus showed maximum activity. The zone of inhibition...

abstract suitable seedling is one of the most important factors of onion growth and yield in transplanting method (tm). in order to investigation effects of different seedling size and age on marketable yield , biological yield, harvest index and some qualitative characters in onion an experiment was couducted at the agricultural research center of east azarbayjan in 2008. the factorial was con...

In order to determine the impact of thermo priming on germination of soybean seeds, an experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three replications. The factors of studied included different time thermo priming (control, 5 and 10 minutes) through the placing seeds were exposed to oven. The results showed that the effect of thermo priming was significant on germination perc...
