This research was performed to determine the effects of different sowing times (ST1, ST2, and ST3) biostimulant (Pi-NFS) doses (0, 100, 250, 500 ml da-1) on seed yield components Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) in continental condition Eskişehir, Turkey. The results indicated that main factors significantly affected except for effect time plant height, however, interaction these signif...

ABSTRACT: This study determined the effect of vermicompost humates as salinity mitigator in germination and morphometric characteristics basil varieties seedlings, tolerant sensitive to salinity, subjected diluted 1/60 (v/v) 0, 50 100 mM NaCl a completely randomized design with four replications. The rate percentage germination, root length, shoot height, fresh dry-weight were measured. showed ...

The beneficial effects of gelatin capsule seed treatment on enhanced plant growth and tolerance to abiotic stress have been reported in a number of crops, but the molecular mechanisms underlying such effects are poorly understood. Using mRNA sequencing based approach, transcriptomes of one- and two-week-old cucumber plants from gelatin capsule treated and nontreated seeds were characterized. Th...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the biostimulant action (hormone like activity, nitrogen uptake, and growth stimulation) of a plant-derived protein hydrolysate by means of two laboratory bioassays: a corn (Zea mays L.) coleoptile elongation rate test (Experiment 1), a rooting test on tomato cuttings (Experiment 2); and two greenhouse experiments: a dwarf pea (Pisum sativum L.) growth test...

The challenges facing modern plant production involve (i) responding to the demand for food and resources of plant origin from the world's rapidly growing population, (ii) coping with the negative impact of stressful conditions mainly due to anthropopressure, and (iii) meeting consumers' new requirements and preferences for food that is high in nutritive value, natural, and free from harmful ch...

Biostimulants are substances able to improve water and nutrient use efficiency and counteract stress factors by enhancing primary and secondary metabolism. Premise of the work was to exploit raw extracts from leaves (LE) or flowers (FE) of Borago officinalis L., to enhance yield and quality of Lactuca sativa 'Longifolia,' and to set up a protocol to assess their effects. To this aim, an integra...
