In order to study the effect of silver nanoparticles and magnetic field on Raphanus sativus. experiments were carried out with four treatments in 10 days. Treatments were including (CON) control, (MF) magnetic field with B=1.8 mT for 1h per day in 10 days, (SNPs) silver nanoparticles (50 ppm), (MF+SNPs) magnetic field plus silver nanoparticles. Results showed that silver nanoparticles (SNPs) ha...

The interactive effects of asexual Epichloë (formerly known as Neotyphodium) endophytes isolated from Hordeum brevisubulatum, Elymus tangutorum and Achnatherum inebrians, and seed-borne fungi on Elymus sibiricus seeds, were determined by an in vitro study using supernatants from liquid cultures of the endophyte strains. In an 8 week greenhouse study, the effects on the seedlings growth was meas...

Genetic relationships between plant height and root morphology were investigated in a diverse set of wheat germplasm [199 double-haploid progeny derived from a cross between Avalon and Cadenza (Triticum aestivum L.), Rht near-isogenic lines (NILs), and accessions from the Watkins Collection] to investigate whether Rht genes controlling shoot height also control seedling root growth. A germinati...

the effects of bio-priming with different isolates of biological agent of trichoderma spp. and pseudomonas fluorescens on morphological and physiological characteristics of a bean cultivar (yaas) as well as their effects on controlling of rhizoctonia solani were investigated in two separate experiments. in the first experiment, different isolates of trichoderma including trichoderma harzianum b...

the objective of the present study was to assess the combined effects of drought stress and foliar application of zinc and manganese on seed quality of red bean (naz variety) during the accelerated aging test. the experiment was carried out as split factorial in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at the research farm of shahrekord university during 2010-2011. drou...

Maize (Zea mays) root system architecture (RSA) mediates the key functions of plant anchorage and acquisition of nutrients and water. In this study, a set of 204 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was derived from the widely adapted Chinese hybrid ZD958(Zheng58 × Chang7-2), genotyped by sequencing (GBS) and evaluated as seedlings for 24 RSA related traits divided into primary, seminal and total ro...

This study was conducted during the growing season of 2021 and 2022 in horticulture station located at Akre city center Duhok Iraqi Kurdistan region, aimed to investigate effect growth regulators on seedling apricot determined best concentration Gibberellin, Benzyl adenine Kinetin improve vegetative . so it consisted three GA3 (0, 250 500 mg.L-1), BA (0,150 300 KIN mg.L-1) some characteristics ...

Seed priming is a physiological seed enhancement method. Hydroor osmotic priming can advance germination under adequate moisture conditions. During direct seeding on well-drained paddy and upland fields, rice seeds occasionally encounter low soil moisture conditions. Under these conditions, rice seeds need to undergo rapid germination and secure emergence through improved water absorption capac...
