Drought significantly reduces yield of many crop plants including wheat in the world. Identification of wheat genotypes that can thrive on limited water is vital to boost the wheat production of rainfed areas. Forty wheat genotypes were screened for drought tolerance using 0, 7.5, 15 and 22.5% Polyethylene Ethylene Glycol 6000 solutions at PMAS Arid Agriculture University, Rawalpindi, Pakistan ...

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 and rate me...

To study the types of mechanical damage for castor seeds and their effects on germination, image processing method was applied to detect affecting germination. Two typical varieties were selected test. The type taken as factor, germination rate vigor index indicators one-way analysis variance. analyzed. Different algorithms extract features cracks seed shell missing, corresponding defect parame...

Mitochondria are the source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plant cells and play a central role in the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) cycles; however, ROS production and regulation for seed germination, seedling growth, as well as mitochondrial responses to abiotic stress, are not clear. This study was conducted to obtain basic information on...

to evaluate the effects of accelerated aging and cold stress on seed germination and seedling growth indices in five oilseed rape cultivars (hyola330, hyola401, hyola420, syn3 and pr401/15e), an experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design of three replications. results indicated that the cultivars were significantly different in germination percentage, seed vigour, germination ...
