The various dilution levels of treated tannery effluent (T.E.) (10, 25, 50 and 100%) and Cr6+ (0.5, 2.0, 5.0 and 10 ppm) were used in experiment to know their effect on seed germination, seedling growth, pigments and enzymes content in Black gram (Phaseolus mungo Roxb.). Chromium is known as the main toxic component of tannery effluent so its various concentration were given to know their effec...

The abundance of plant nucleolin mRNA is regulated during de-etiolation by phytochrome. A close correlation between the mRNA abundance of nucleolin and mitosis has also been previously reported. These results raised the question of whether the effects of light on nucleolin mRNA expression were a consequence of light effects on mitosis. To test this we compared the kinetics of light-mediated inc...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Physiological epicotyl dormancy in which the epicotyl elongates inside the seed before the shoot emerges has been reported for only a few tropical rainforest species, all of which are trees that produce recalcitrant seeds. In studies on seeds of Fabaceae in Sri Lanka, we observed a considerable time delay in shoot emergence following root emergence in seeds of the introduced...

The effluent from a Lucknow- based distillery (Mohan Meakin Distillery) was analyzed for physico-chemical and biological parameters of pollution and concentration of potentially toxic heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Ni and Zn) and the effect of the distillery effluent, as such and on 50% dilution with tap water was studied on seed germination and seedling growth of maize (Zea mays L.) and rice (Oryza sat...

Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is relatively tolerant to several abiotic stresses such as salinity. Twenty-five grass genotypes provided by the Dryland Agricultural Research Institute, Maragheh, Iran, were exposed four salinity levels (0, 40, 80, 120 mM). Based on primary screen, 8 and 17 sensitive selected. Principal components analysis for showed that first explained approximately 71-80% of ...

Seed germination is one of the basic and vital stages in plant life cycle which affected by many factors. Different techniques can be used to enhance crop yield like seed priming that considered as a physiological treatment improves performance provide faster synchronized The objective this study compare efficacy different methods on seeds hybrid maize (hybrid Tikrit variety) with tow durations...

introduction increasing world population is facing critically depletion of water resources, which will be along with increasing food demands to cover the human needs all over the world. therefore, water scarcity is increasingly a major limitation for increased agricultural production and food security in this century. the scarcity of qualified water, has made farmers to consider the water of ma...

introduction legumes are the most important source of vegetable protein supply. mungbean (vigna radiate (l.) wilczek) produces seeds contain 22-25 percent protein and high nutritional value for human and also is a major source of protein in most modern societies. rapid seed germination and emergency, is an important factor determining the ultimate yield of the plant. salinity is the most import...
