The response of tomato genotype Cal-ji  against five salinity levels (distilled water as control, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM) were studied at germination and early seedling stages. An experiment with conducted by using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Shoot and root length, shoot and root fresh weight, seed vigor, mean germination time, germination percentage an...

storage conditions influence quality of gladiolus corms which thereby affects qualityof flowers. in the present study, the effects of pre-storage curing and differenttemperature conditions on corm germination and various vegetative and reproductivegrowth parameters of gladiolus grandiflorus cv. white prosperity and gladiolusgrandiflorus cv. ruse supreme were studied. application of pre-storage ...

Roegneria kamoji Ohwi (Poaceae), a wild relative plant of wheat which is widely distributed across China, has become dominant and problematic weed in fields some regions. We have previously confirmed that R. highly tolerant to foliar-applied acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors (Triticum aestivum L.). The sensitivity pre-emergence (PRE) herbicides the basis fen...

Cereal grain germination is central for plant early development, and efficient germination has a major role in crop propagation and malting. Endosperm starch is the prime energy reserve in germination and seedling establishment. In this study, it was hypothesized that optimized starch granule structure, and not only the endosperm starch content per se, is important for germination and seedling ...

in order to study, the effect of pre-cooling treatment, osmotic potential and water stress on some population of two species of satureja bachtiarica and satureja sahendica was studied by a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications in laboratory and greenhouse conditions during one year in the gene bank of institute of forests and range lands by the years...

most seeds of medicinal plants due to ecological adaptation to environmental conditions have several types of dormancy. hence, it's necessary to recognize ecological factors that affect dormancy and provide optimum conditions for germination in medicinal plant species. thirty seed lots were used to estimate germination and dormancy of medicinal plants. treatments were kno3, (2%) and scarificati...

Abstract. Seeds or plant organs are usually used as the materials for the long-term cryopreservation. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of seed cryopreservation of Lilium ledebourii (Baker) Boiss. as an endemic and endangered species because of genetic erosion. To evaluate seed potentials for the cryopreservation, four treatments including vitrification, 30% glycerol, desi...

Ammodendron persicum (Bunge & Boiss.)is a desert shrub specie which grows on some sand dunes and sandy areas of South Khorasan and Sistan-va-Baluchestan provinces in east of Iran. Low distribution and narrow ecological range have put this species under threat. In order to evaluate the possibility of long-term preservation of A. persicum seeds in cryogenic conditions (-196°C), the seeds of speci...

Oil palm (E. guineensis) is native to Africa and among highest oilseeds crop in the world, having a dormant seeds which require pre-treatments quicken germination process. The objective of this experiment evaluate effects Vimpel growth regulator on seedlings. viable oil were treated with vimpel solution at different stages process tagged as A (+ before heat), B (+Vimpel after C without heat) D ...
