the main objective of this study was using of canonical correlation analysis (cca) to find relations between 15 different variables of seed emergence and seedling growth related characteristics of seven important crop that were classified in three groups. the studied groups of variables were included physical characteristics (seed weight, seed length, seed density, water absorption and water co...

introduction: b. campestris is an old plant that commonly grows in arid and semi-arid areas. it has mucilage in the epidermal cells of canola seeds, a considerable variation in growth form and characteristics across the many cultivars. these species have in general, a flat root without an elongated crown, with stems that typically grow 30 to 120 cm tall. the leaves are large, soft, smooth or so...

Poor germination and low seedling growth of stevia are common problems in the cultivation of the plant. Nutri-priming is a newest, safe, easy, and effective method to increase germination characteristics and seedling tolerance against stress. The objective in this study was to assess the effect of nutri-priming with nano potassium (nano-K), paclobutrazol (PBZ), and salicylic acid (SA) on stevia...

background & aim: because of seed germination ability of medicinal plants seed is low and, generally exposed to problem. priming is one of the techniques that help seeds to be germinated faster and uniformly. experimental: a laboratory experiment was carried out on germination and growth improvement in heracleum persicum desf.  by seed osmo-primming in seed technology laboratory ...

The possible effects of seed priming on mitigating the effects of drought stress on germination and early seedling growth of two rangeland plants were evaluated in a laboratory research during 2015-16 growing season. The research was conducted as a 2×3×3 factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. The first factor was plant type (Festuca ovina and Bromus ...

augment of germination rate is important in seedling establishment and crop yield. a set of study in laboratory & field conditions at agronomy department of university of tehran was conducted during 2004-2005. in lab. experiment the effects of seed priming was evaluated on germination indices (germination percentage and rate) of chickpea genotypes in a factorial experiment of 4×3×2 arranged in ...
