production of beneficial halophytes such as kochia (kochia scoparia) using saline waters and soils is one of the most sustainable methods of conservation in desert ecosystems. kochia is one of the most common annual halophytes grown in iran. seed germination of four ecotypes of kochia in saline conditions was carried out using factorial based on completely randomized design with four replicates...

in order to investigate factors affecting on seed germinating of london rocket (sisymbrium irio), lab experiments were set up in 2011 at the payamenoor university, mashhad, khorasan razavi province. effect of different concentrations of gibberellic acid (ga3) and cytokinin, wet and dry prechilling duration, hydrogen peroxide duration, ethanol, salt and osmotic stress and burial depth on seed ge...

salinity is one of the environmental factors that have a critical influence on the germination of seeds and plant establishment. salinity affects imbibition, germination and root elongation. in this study, the germination characteristics of matricaria comomilla and thymus deanensis were studied. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of salinity on germination of these species....

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...

The physiological process of germination depends on several environmental factors such as temperature, water potential, light, nutrients and smoke. Water and temperature are determinant factors for seed germination. Both factors can, separately or jointly, affect the germination percentage and germination rate. The effect of temperature on germination and water potential on germination canoften...

the allelopathic effects of various concentrations (0 (as control), 5 %, 10 %, 20 % and 40%) of berseem clover shoot extracts were assayed on germination and radicle growth of four weed species ( amaranthus hybridus, amaranthus albus, solanum nigrum and chenopodium album) as completely randomized factorial with 3 replications. the effect of aqueous extract concentration of berseem clover on the...

abstract r. ficaria is an invasive perennial and tuberous roots weed. the most important means of its reproduction and dispersion are tubers. in order to study the effect of droughty and freezing on germination of lesser celandine tubers, two experiments were conducted at weed science laboratory of faculty of agriculture ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2008. the experiment was a completely ra...
