purpose the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the ergogenic effect of caffeine ingestion on mood state, simple reaction time, and muscle power during the wingate test recorded in the morning on elite judoists. methods twelve elite judoists (age: 21.08 ± 1.16 years, body mass: 83.75 ± 20.2 kg, height: 1.76 ±6.57 m) participated in this study. mood states, simple reaction time, and mus...

Considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. Thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, Agropyron desertorum (Fisch. ex Link) Schult. in ...

Abstract: The use of infrared equipment to evaluate the physiological quality seeds has become an extremely important technique for operation, since it is not destructive seed and safe operator. experiment was divided into two stages, in first, controlled deterioration curve carried out, second stage, validation NIR XDS process through modeling classification lots. used proved be efficient show...

Drought stress influences seed germination and seedling growth of many plants. Seed coating is technique of covering seeds with adhesive agents to improve seed performance and plant establishment and could be used to alleviate the negative effects of osmotic stress. In order to solve the problem of low germination and poor vigor of sweet corn under osmotic stress conditions (0, -0.3, -0.6 and -...
