due to extent of zinc (zn) deficiency in soils of iran and its deficiency in human diet, this study investigated the effect of zn sulfate foliar applications (non-foliar application, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation stage, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation and grain filling stages, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation and 2 g/l at grain filling stages) on yield and its components (farm sector) and influence of grain ...

the present study was aimed to investigate the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-tio 2 ) on wheat ( triticumaestivum l.) plants cv. parsi. the experimental treatments included seven concentrations of nano- tio 2 (10, 100, 1000, 1200, 1500 and 1700 ppm nano-tio 2 and control (without any tio 2 ). the results showed that among the wheat germination indices, germination rate and weig...

Indigofera gozoll agribun is a legume tree plant that has high nutritional quality as animal feed. However, it still problem with the low seed quality. This study aimed to evaluate relationship between pod length and of seeds. research was designed in completely randomized design five treatments size four replications, namely: P1 (3.5 cm), P2 (4 P3 (4.5 P4 (5 cm) P5 (5.5 cm). The parameters obs...

Brazilian wheat farming is characterized by a high occurrence of seed-transmitted diseases that can cause significant damage to grain production. The objective this study was evaluate the influence seed treatments on physiological and sanitary quality cultivar seeds. Seeds from three commercial cultivars (TBIO Sossego, TBIO Sinuelo, Toruk) were used, along with four (Control, Chemical, Biologic...

The rare earth element (REE) cerium (Ce) can act as a biostimulant in diverse crop plants. effects of 0, 5, 10, and 15 µM Ce (supplied CeCl3 7H2O) on seed germination the initial growth tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cv. Vengador were evaluated. After 12 h imbibition, weight seeds treated with was 37.5% greater than that observed control. index 5 100% (101.93%), though when applying 10 this 1...

Histone acetylation is known to affect the speed of seed germination, but the molecular regulatory basis of this remains ambiguous. Here we report that loss of function of two histone deacetylase-binding factors, SWI-INDEPENDENT3 (SIN3)-LIKE1 (SNL1) and SNL2, results in accelerated radicle protrusion and growth during seed germination. AUXIN RESISTANT 1 (AUX1) is identified as a key factor in t...

Class I chitinase (Chi9) and beta-1,3-glucanase (GluB) genes are expressed in the micropylar endosperm cap of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) seeds just before radicle emergence through this tissue to complete germination. In gibberellin (GA)-deficient mutant (gib-1) seeds, expression of Chi9 and GluB mRNA and protein is dependent upon GA. However, as expression occurs relatively late in the g...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The small leafy succulent shrub Halocnemum strobilaceum occurs in saline habitats from northern Africa and Mediterranean Europe to western Asia, and it is a dominant species in salt deserts such as those of north-west China. The effects of temperature, light/darkness and NaCl salinity were tested on seed germination, and the effects of salinity were tested on seed germinatio...
