Four genotypes of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) were taken for investigation to know their response towards chromium stress. On the basis of seedling growth vigour index and dry weight, the genotypes JS 355 and P 1 were found tolerant to chromium stress when compared to the other genotypes. The tolerant genotypes had shown higher proline contents in their shoots.

Genetic improvement of seed vigour and emergence of yellow-seeded flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is important to have a good stand establishment, since they are negatively affected by yellow seed colour. This study was conducted to investigate genetic variation, broad-sense heritability and expected genetic response to selection for germination, seed vigour and field emergence. Sixteen genotypes...

Soil physical and chemical characteristics play a key role on vine growth yield. The soils of South Uruguay display high content montmorillonite or illite. proportion these minerals deserves special attention as they influence the soil structure its hydrological properties. present study was conducted in 1.1 ha vineyard this region (Canelones), characterized by heterogeneity plant vigour. It ai...

This study examined the impact of night shift on six dimensions of mood. The efficacy of a range of personality, behavioural, and social/organizational predictors of these responses was also examined. Thirty-five female student nurses were studied during their first period of night work. ANOVAs indicated that only fatigue-inertia and vigour-activity were significantly affected by night work. Mu...

This research explores the relationship between El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), captured by equatorial PaciŽ c Ocean Sea Surface Temperature (SST), and interannual variation in vegetation vigour in the southeast USA, captured by Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) Normalized DiVerence Vegetation Index (NDVI), for the period 1982–1992. The moving average and ‘baseline’ methods ...

The aim of this study was to examine the influence electrostatic fields on seed vigor, mean rate germination and coefficient velocity five soybean genotypes. Testing conducted at Novi Sad Institute Field Vegetable Crops seeds varieties: Sava, NS 2024, 1347, 3127, Blackstar. were exposed different values direct current (DC) following voltage: 0 V (control), 3 V, 6 9 which for min 1 min. After ex...

Early vigour is an important physiological trait to improve establishment, water-use efficiency, and grain yield for wheat. Phenotyping large numbers of lines is challenging due to the fast growth and development of wheat seedlings. Here we developed a new photo-based workflow to monitor dynamically the growth and development of the wheat canopy of two wheat lines with a contrasting early vigou...

Saccharum spontaneum is the major donor of important traits like vigour, hardiness and ratooning potential to modern sugarcane cultivars. Identifying      S. clones with high early vigour tillering ability essential include them in hybridization program. Forty three accessions were evaluated for number tillers per clump, stalk length, diameter, leaves on main stem, leaf leng...

introduction during the last decades interest in organic production of seed specially for medicinal plants take into consideration because of higher quality of organic products (hermes, 2010). seed germination is one of the principal stages in the plant life cycle and seeds with higher quality and vigour resulted in more pronounced seedlings growth and development. therefore, investigation of a...
