salinity is one of the important factors that reduce the growth and yield of crops in iran; however, determining appropriate methods for reducing its negative effects is important. in order to study the effects of nutritional condition of mother plant and bacterial biofertilizers seed priming on germination indices of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), in salinity condition, an experiment was conduc...

Crocodilians, which include alligators and crocodiles, have a tough exterior with scales covering their dorsal and ventral surfaces. Living on earth before the dinosaurs, these reptilians have evolved a structure that has helped them adapt to the changing environment of earth. This structure is called an integumentary sensory organ (ISO). Integumentary is a term, which refers to the skin surfac...

The study compared the performance of upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors and anaerobic filters (AF) for the treatment of wheat straw washwater (WSW) which has a high concentration of Potassium ions. The trial was conducted at mesophilic temperatures (37 o C). The digesters were started up over a 48-day period using a synthetic wastewater feed and reached an organic loading rate (OL...

Low soil temperature is one of the reasons for poor germination and establishment of maize. The aim of this study was to evaluatethe possibilityof improvingthe seedling emergence and performance of maize under low temperature stress. A pot experiment was conducted on Zea maize (single cross 704) at 14 ºC as cold stress and seed treatments were priming with  200,  300 and 400ppm of GA3; 100, 200...

Salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stress factors limiting the plants' growth. Seed priming is known as a method which improves the germination performance in seeds in stress conditions. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Hydropriming and Halopriming on germination performance of Secale montanum while growing under the NaCl-salinity stress. Hydropr...

Field experiments were conducted during 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides NICOSULFURON and EPTC alone or in combination with seed priming on weed control and corn yield. NICOSULFURON (80 g a.i. ha‒1) was applied at four- to six-leaf stage of corn as post-emergence and EPTC (4920 g a.i. ha‒1) applied as pre-plant incorporation (PPI). Among the herbicide treatments, the lowest ...

Four structural priming experiments investigated the lexical boost effect in priming. In two experiments, we tested whether repeating subject prepositional object or double ditransitive structures boosted other manipulated repetition of verb. Repetition noun affected priming, but only when prime remained visible while participants produced target sentence. contrast, verb regardless could see an...

Priming fresh and naturally aged canola seeds with different substances observing the seed germination properties are involved in this work. Fresh of cv. “süzer” were treated distilled water, -0.8 MPa polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 50 mM thiamine for 8 hours. Storage showed loss capacity compared to seeds. Present findings indicate that priming can improve speed both canola. Germination percent...

in order to study effects of exogenous application salicylic acid on morphological and physiological characteristics of wheat (shirazcultivar) under soil and water salinity in the neyriz city, an experiment was conducted in year 2009-2010 by factorial exprement in a completely randomized blocks design with four replications. treatment consisted of three levels of priming with salicylic acid (0‚...
