zno nanoparticles were synthesized by a microwave-assisted chemical method. zno nanostructures were synthesized via a fast reaction between zinc acetate and ammonia at presence citric acid and other effective agents in chemical procedure. nanostructures were characterized by x-ray diffraction , scanning electron microscopy. seed yield and seed quality of safflower grown under drought stress. th...

ABSTRACT-This experiment was carried out as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the research station of the Islamic Azad University-Arak Branch, Iran, in 2011 and 2012. Experimental factors consisted of three levels of salicylic acid (SA); seed priming with distilled water (hydro priming), seed priming with 0.5 mM SA, and 0.5 mM SA  seed priming 1 mM...

there was a turning point in each period of time which human has discovered a new sight about the world and nature order in a way, and then has presented this relation by numeral, artful and industrial language. biourbanism focuses on the urban organism, considering it as a hyper complex system, according to its internal and external dynamics and their mutual interactions. nowadays when it is t...

in order to investigate the effects of on-farm seed priming and sowing dates on seedling emergence, yield and yield components of a local genotype bean called pach baghala-red strain (phaseolous vulgaris l.) as a double crop after rice, an experiment carried out in the rice research institute of rasht. experimental design was laid out in a split plot based on a randomized complete block with th...

BACKGROUND Diarrhea and mortality resulting from infections with enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) are of major economic importance in the rabbit meat industry. There is a growing need for an effective vaccine to cope with these problems and to reduce the use of antibiotics. EPEC are characterized by an attaching and effacing virulence mechanism. This is partly mediated by the intimate b...

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 ...

objective: to evaluate the effect of chemical stimuli on germination and seedling growth of caper (capparis spinosa) under drought stress. methods: factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment were performed. first factor of priming include three levels of acetylsalicylic acid (300, 200 and 100 mg/l), gibberellic acid levels (500, 250 and 125 ppm), a...

there are several methods to increase crops yield, including use of high quality seeds. seed priming is a simple and low-cost method to increase seed quality, if be done right, will lead to increasing plant performance and yield. seed priming treatment applied before planting to enhance germination parameters, seedling establishment and etc. primed seeds get some physiological and biochemical c...
