Physiological effect of six levels of water stress (0, -0.1, -.03, -0.6, -0.9 and -1.2 MP) was studied on seed germination and plumule as well as radicule growth length in three species namely: Agropyron elongatum, Agropyron desertourm and Secale montanum. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to provide appropriate water potentials. A total of 100 seeds in four replications (Petri dishes) were so...

Lotus plumule, the embryo of seed sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera), contains a high accumulation secondary metabolites including flavonoids and possesses important pharmaceutical value. Flavonoid C-glycosides, which accumulate exclusively in have attracted considerable attention recent decades due to their unique chemical structure special bioactivities. As well as mono-C-glycosides, plumule als...

abstract in order to study the effect of different water potential on anethum graveolens 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. in the first experiment, response of dill seeds germination to levels of drought stress including to drought potentials ze...

current research on effect of increasing concentrations (0 (control), 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mm) of different salts including nacl and na2so4 on germination and initial growth phase of halostachys caspica were studied. the experimental design was completely randomized design with three replications. characters of percentage, speed and index of germination, seed healthy index, radicle, plumu...

Calotropis proceran (Asclepidaceae) is an evergreen plant and widely distributed in Hormozgan province. This plant has the allelopathic properties including germination inhibition, plumule and radicle growth reduction. In this study the effect of different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 60%) of dry leaf water extraction of this plant on the germination of cucumber (Cucumis sativus), tomat...

in order to investigate the effects of seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on germination components and seedling growth of corn (zea mays l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the seed technology laboratory of mohaghegh ardabili university, iran, during 2008. studied factors were: corn cultiv...

Current research on effect of increasing concentrations (0 (control), 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mM) of different salts including NaCl and Na2SO4 on germination and initial growth phase of Halostachys caspica were studied. The experimental design was completely randomized design with three replications. Characters of percentage, speed and index of germination, seed healthy index, radicle, plumu...
