The effect of the flavonoids chrysin, isorhamnetin, kaempferol, luteolin, morin and rutin on pre-symbiotic growth, such as spore germination, hyphal length, hyphal branching and the formation of auxiliary cells and secondary spores, of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi Gigaspora rosea, G. margarita, Glomus mosseae and G. intraradices was studied. According to the effect on each fungal growth par...

Johar (Cassia siamea Lamk) seeds have physical dormancy, because the entry of water and gases prevents by hard seed coat in process germination. Therefore, to assist germination process, pre treatment form scarification is needed, among others using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution. This study aims analyze effect soaking H2SO4 with 96% concentration on johar The used a completely randomized desig...

in order to evaluate the effect of different mechanical treatments (application of sulphuric acid, boiling water and flooding) on seed dormancy breaking of licorice, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design in 2012. moreover, a factorial scheme in rcbd was performed to assess the application of giberalic acid and potassium nitrate treatment as well as stratification and...

Luffa aegyptiaca (Luffa sponge gourd) is increasingly seen as both a source of vegetative nutrition and as a source of the “luffa” used as to exfoliate during bathing. As such, the commercial growing of Luffa aegyptiaca is increasingly being investigated using more intensive farming methods. Two factors traditionally used to promote / speed germination and emergence of vegetable seeds is invest...

The isolation from bud scales and partial characterisation of highly active, low molecular weight, germination inhibitors, in concentrations correlated quantitively with resistance of N52/219, N11, NCo376, and NCo293, holds promise for the development of a rapid, quantitative, chemical assay for evaluating sugarcane for pre-infectional resistance to smut. Histopathological studies on stalk and ...

Medicinal and pesticidal plant propagation is hampered by poor seed germination due to dormancy. This study aimed enhance seedling growth using various pre-sowing treatments. A triplicated two-factor experiment in a Randomized Complete Block design was used. Soaking water at 25°C for 24 h (T1), soaking 60°C hot 10 min (T2), ppm Potassium nitrate (KNO3) treatment (T3), 20 (T4), Treating ...
