This experiment was carried out in Islamic Azad university (Shoushtar Branch) for investigate effect of salt stress on seedling growth of soybean cultivars. The soybean cultivars (Hill, Klark and Williams) obtained from Iran seed and plant institute, Karaj, Iran. The experimental design was 2 factorial, arranged in completely randomized design with 4 replication. First factor was soybean cultiv...

Artificial excision of the distal part of acorns in order to promote germination is well researched in oak seedling cultivation studies. However, studies of combined effects of cotyledon excision and nursery fertilization on container seedlings are lacking, especially for seedling root growth and outplanting performance. This study aimed to explore the main effects of cotyledon excision on Quer...

Sustainability is getting popular for many engineering applications from packaging to textiles, energy electronics. Since renewable, environmental friendly sources lowers the negative impacts of end product on ecology, sustainability studies generally start with raw materials. The electronic materials has gained importance because limited amount resources and increasing costs as well restrictio...

Factors affecting survival and recruitment of 3531 individually mapped seedlings of Myristicaceae were examined over three years in a highly diverse neotropical rain forest, at spatial scales of 1-9 m and 25 ha. We found convincing evidence of a community compensatory trend (CCT) in seedling survival (i.e., more abundant species had higher seedling mortality at the 25-ha scale), which suggests ...

Seedling recruitment of Dalmatian toadflax, (Linaria genistifolia ssp. dalmatica (L.) Maire and Petitmengin (Scrophulariaceae)), was examined in a 2-year field study in Montana using overseeding and plant/insect exclusion methods, to determine whether it was more limited by seed availability or interspecific plant competition. Overseeding test plots with toadflax seed had no effect on seedling ...
