the inheritance of cold resistance was evaluated at the germination stage in crosses between seven rice genotypes as half diallel. analysis of variance indicated that there were highly significant differences among the genotypes, general combining ability (gca) and specific combining ability (sca) for percentage of reduction in radicle length (rl), percentage of reduction in plumule length (pl)...

allelopathy is the main factor of weed interference on growth and development of crops. in order to study of allopathic effect of hoery cress organs extrate on germination and seedling growth of triticale, two separate factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replication were conducted under laboratory and green house conditions. treatment were included of extrac...

abstract germination and emergence of cold tolerant lentil genotypes sometimes experiences low temperatures and variable rainfalls in the fall planting. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of drought stress on germination stage of lentil genotypes. experiment was carried out with 18 lentil genotypes under five levels of water potential (0 , -0.4 , -0.8 , -1.2 , -1.6 mpa) using peg ...

an investigation was initiated to examine the effects of nanoscale titanium dioxide particles on plant growth and development. in view of the widespread cultivation of canola in iran and in other parts of the globe and in view of the potential influence of titanium on its growth, this plant was chosen as the model system. canola seeds were separately treated with different concentrations of nan...

in order to study the response of coriander medicinal plant to salt stress, two experiments were conducted for germination and vegetative stages. this study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. the treatments were salinity at five concentrations including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm nacl. response of coriander seeds germination in...

Pythium myriotylum is a notorious soil-borne oomycete that causes post-emergence damping-off in chili pepper. Of various disease management strategies, utilization of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) suppression and promotion an interesting strategy. The present study was performed to isolate characterize PGPR indigenous the rhizosphere Pakistan, test potential suppress chili. Out to...

in the recent years application of allelopathic effects in weeds managment have attracted the attention of many researchers. to study the effects of water extracts and various amount of plants powder of sinapis, achillea, salvia, artemisia and wanut leaf on seed germination and seedling growth of bean, two separate factorial experiments were carried out in completely randomized design, with 3 a...

In the present study a novel approach has been made to evaluate the toxicity of cadmium in maize (Zea mays L. cv KJ9451) in terms of germination, seedling growth, pigment development and relevant enzyme activity and the possible remedial approach using potassium and copper to reduce cadmium toxicity. For the present investigations maize seeds were sown in petridishes on filter paper in triplica...
