Caper is an important plant because of its high adaptability to marginal agriculture fields that are not suitable for agricultural crops. Different parts of caper such as roots, fruits, flowers and buds can be used to increase the inhabitant's income. The goal of this research is to determine germination rate and percentage of caper according to different duration of cold stratification (10, 20...

Rumex confertus is a biennial species native to Eastern Europe and Asia, where it thrives on meadow-steppes and glades in forest-steppe. This species has increased its range rapidly within central Europe, yet its biology is not well understood, which has led to poorly timed management. Effects of temperature, light, sodium chloride (NaCl), hydrogen ion concentration (pH), potassium nitrate (KNO...

Nowadays, in many rangelands, due to over grazing, and problems that some plantshave in germination, the rate of forage production is greatly reduced. So to take advantages ofthe benefits of such plants, it is necessary to identify and remove barriers of germination andestablishment of suitable plants. The present study was designed to investigate differenttreatments of breaking dormancy and st...

Baccharis dracunculifolia DC. is a pioneer plant native from Brazil that has great importance due to its secondary metabolites (essential oil and Brazilian green propolis) potential in the recovery of degraded areas. The main goal this study was evaluate propagation techniques B. by sexual reproduction asexual male female stem cuttings. For reproduction, individuals natural population were peri...

To break dormancy and increase the germination of Prunus avium L. (mazzard cherry) seeds, various methods were tested including the removal of the seed coat after cold moist stratification and treatment with GA3, KNO3, or thiourea. Treatments with 7,500 ppm KNO3 after 120 days of stratification were more effective, yielding 64.54% germination of seeds with coat. In seeds without coat, 500 ppm G...

Problem statement: Germinated rice has been recognized as a functional food and its health benefits. However, most related studies were on germinated brown rice but our previous study indicated that germination of rough rice was an effective method to obtain high concentrations of bioactive compounds. Germination time is one of the most important factors affecting the level of biochemical compo...

Comprehensive research was performed in the experimental area Plant Breeding and Genetics situated University of Agriculture Faisalabad to estimate analysis variance correlation soybean exotic accessions conducting a randomized complete block design comprising four check varieties. All recommended cultural agronomic practices were followed homogenously for each genotype during study. The data v...

The aim of the study was to determine effect seed production environment in Sri Lanka on development, maturation, and subsequent quality. experiment conducted at six environments, three locations (Mahailluppalama (M1), Polonnaruwa (POL), Aluttarama (ALU), over two planting cycles (P1, P2). Seed development seedling quality characteristics were evaluated five reproductive (R6, R7, R8, R8 + 5 10)...

to study the root allelopathic effects of cool season crops on germination and early growth of three crops (sorghum, corn, and soybean), an experiment was conducted in seed research laboratory and greenhouse of college of agriculture, university of tehran. the experiment consisted of four cool season crops (wheat, barley, rye and pea) and control as the main plots, three spring-crops (corn, soy...
