Germination energy of cottonwood seed decreased gradually as moisture stress increased from 0.0 to 10.0 atm; 15.0 atm inhibited germination except at 32 and 38 C. Temperature extremes of 15 and 38 C drastically reduced germination energy, and the reductive effect of 38 C was particularly marked after storage. Only 15-atm moisture stress or 15 C greatly reduced total germination. Germination und...

abstract this experiment, conducted to examine the effects of temperature and photoperiod on seed germination of watergrass (echinochlo aoryzoides) as a new-introduced and barnyardgrass (e. crus-galli) as a common weed species in rice fields of guilan province. this study was consisted of two separate experiments. at the first study, germination responses of two species to different temperature...

to investigate effects of temperature and salinity different levels on germination parameters of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla), an experiment carried out in complete randomized design as factorial with three replication in department of agronomy, college of agriculture on the university of guilan, in 2014. treatments were including temperature levels (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 oc)...

10 Variations in the germination and malting performance during storage of three Canadian 11 malting barley varieties AC Metcalfe, CDC Kendall and CDC Copeland, which had 12 suffered from different degrees of pre-harvest sprouting damage (PHSD) at harvest, 13 were examined. These barley samples were collected in Saskatchewan, Canada during 14 two successive crop years (2007-2008). During storag...

The experiment was conducted during October 2014 to December evaluate the effect of different levels salinity on seed germination and seedling growth sunflower. factorial consists three variety sunflower such as BRAC HySun 33, BARI sunflower-2, KU SL-1 five viz. 4, 8, 12, 16 dS m-1 with control. salt stress were varied significantly. (germination energy, capacity speed germination) parameters (...

Clostridium difficile spores play a pivotal role in the transmission of infectious diarrhoea, but in order to cause disease spores must complete germination and return to vegetative cell growth. While the mechanisms of spore germination are well understood in Bacillus, knowledge of C. difficile germination remains limited. Previous studies have shown that bile salts and amino acids play an impo...
