Canavalia virosa seed is applied on the wound after removing the seed coat. This sticks to the skin till the poison is completely removed and falls off which takes five to seven hours. There is complete relief of the poisoning in the case of Scorpion, Centipede., and the seeds which have been detected and studied here.

Johar (Cassia siamea Lamk) seeds have physical dormancy, because the entry of water and gases prevents by hard seed coat in process germination. Therefore, to assist germination process, pre treatment form scarification is needed, among others using sulfuric acid (H2SO4) solution. This study aims analyze effect soaking H2SO4 with 96% concentration on johar The used a completely randomized desig...

BACKGROUND Kala bhat (Black soybean) is an important legume crop in Uttarakhand state, India, due to its nutritional and medicinal properties. In the current study, the genetic variabilities present in Kala bhat were estimated using SSR markers and its variability was compared with other improved soybean varieties cultivated in Uttarakhand state, India. RESULTS Seventy-five genotypes cultivat...

The growth stage of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) at the time of inoculation was determined to be a factor in the severity of seed coat mottling caused by Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV, Genus Comovirus, Family Comoviridae). The virus caused seed coat mottling, and reduced seed size and seed weight. The effects of different isolates of BPMV on seed coat mottling in soybean were found to vary ...

In angiosperms, double fertilization of the egg and central cell of the megagametophyte leads to the development of the embryo and endosperm, respectively. Control of cell cycle progression in the megagametophyte is essential for successful fertilization and development. Central cell-targeted expression of the D-type cyclin CYCD7;1 (end CYCD7;1) using the imprinted FWA promoter overcomes cycle ...

-1,3-Glucanase ( Glu) expression in seeds plays important roles in the regulation of seed germination, dormancy and in the defence against seed pathogens. A thick -1,3-glucan layer is typical for the seed envelope of cucurbitaceous species, confers seed semipermeability and is degraded during germination. In many species with coat-imposed dormancy, the seed envelope confers a physical constrain...

Protein extracts from soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) seed hulls were fractionated by isoelectric focusing and SDS-PAGE analysis and components identified by peptide microsequencing. An abundant 32 kDa protein possessed an N-terminal cysteine-rich hevein domain present in class I chitinases and in other chitin-binding proteins. The protein could be purified from seed coats by single step bindin...

In this study, we describe the seed imbibition of 14 different species, from crop, forest, and native species potentially able to recover landscapes form sustainable green cities. Seed is a fundamental physical physiological process for reactivating metabolism hydrolytic enzymes that will provide germination. We verified water more closely governed by differences between osmotic potential (Ψw) ...
