Abstract: Both protein and starch hydrolysis contribute to the effective mobilization of seed reserves trigger germination. We studied activities hydrolytic enzymes in germinating seeds mung bean (Vigna radiata) exposed cadmium stress at 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg.L-1. Exposure Cd decreased germination rate early seedling growth traits, including root shoot length plant fresh dry biomass compared co...

The present works were carried out to determine the impact of different municipal solid waste compost (mswc) soil extracts (Tap water, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% and distilled water (control) obtained from mswc (degraded soil) and different mixing ratio of mswc and distilled water on the percentage of relative seed germination (RSG%), vigor index, root length, shoot length of soya bean (Glycin...

HIGHLIGHTS Two varieties of wheat were irradiated with six doses γ radiation Seed germination, survivability and seedling length observed under laboratory conditions Plant height, panicle length, grains per 1000 seed weight was recorded for field studies LD50 DBW 187 K 1006 found to be 272.71 278.61 respectively. GR50 values 316.22 346.73

seed reserves are controlled by genetic and environmental condition such as nutrition, temperature, drought stress and light intensity. strong seedling will produce from seeds with high reserves. therefore, in this work that conducted in pot, field(in tabriz university) and lab(in shahrood university of technology) experiments, effect of pre-anthesis nitrogen application and a drought stress du...

The study was conducted over a period of six months from January to June 2004 to explore the effects of different seed treatments on germination and seedling growth attributes of a popular medicinal plant, Horitoki (Terminalia chebula Retz) in the nursery of Chittagong University, Bangladesh. Seeds were subjected to six pre-sowing treatments e.g. control (T ), depulped (T ), depulped and soaked...

seeds of nine sugar beet lines: five drought tolerant, two susceptible, and two medium tolerant were washed, sterilised, dried, and sown in water agar medium for germination test. seedling growth characters such as cotyledon fresh weight (cfw), cotyledon dry weight (cdw), root fresh weight (rfw), root dry weight (rdw), and root length (rl) were determined after the end of 28 days period of expe...

humic substances as an active part of soil organic maters can improve germination and seedling properties, plant establishment and plant growth. in order to study the effects of different concentrations of humic and fulvic acids on germination and seedling properties of two varieties of triticale (triticosecale hexaploide lart.), a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design wi...

abstract- this experiment was carried out during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the agricultural research farm of bu-ali sina university, to study the effect of weed competition on subsequent germination and seed vigour of chickpea. 12 weed interference durations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. experiments consisted of two sets of treatment...

salinity is one of the important factors that reduce the growth and yield of crops in iran; however, determining appropriate methods for reducing its negative effects is important. in order to study the effects of nutritional condition of mother plant and bacterial biofertilizers seed priming on germination indices of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), in salinity condition, an experiment was conduc...
