The response of tomato genotype Cal-ji  against five salinity levels (distilled water as control, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mM) were studied at germination and early seedling stages. An experiment with conducted by using a completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. Shoot and root length, shoot and root fresh weight, seed vigor, mean germination time, germination percentage an...

to investigate the effects of different salinity levels of nacl on germination of safflower (cv. esfahan 24) seeds under three different incubation methods, a factorial experiment was carried out based on a complete randomize design with three replications. salinity levels were 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 dsm-1 (nacl) and incubation methods were sandwich method, and using petri dishes with open or clos...

Two experiments were conducted to study the effects of water deficit stress on the germination, emergence and seedling growth of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] using Completely Randomised Block Design in four replications. Five sorghum cultivars (Jigurti, Gambella 1107, Meko, 76 T1 #23 and P9403) were evaluated under three water deficit stress treatments (0, -0.20 and -0.85 MPa) using PE...

plants growth in many parts of the world are influenced by biotic and abiotic environmental stresses. agriculture in these area is done with higher costs and lower efficiency. therefore, assessment of plant species is so necessary in terms of salt tolerance prior to planting in large-scale for development. in this regard, salinity stress on germination of sorghum bicolor was carried out in a co...

Low temperature is the primary factor to affect maize sowing in early spring. It is, therefore, vital for maize breeding programs to improve tolerance to low temperatures at seed germination stage. However, little is known about maize QTL involved in low-temperature germination ability. 243 lines of the intermated B73×Mo17 (IBM) Syn4 recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was used for QTL ana...

to evaluate the germination traits and mechanical damage of soybean seed during processing stages, anexperiment was conducted in a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 18treatments at mazandaran province (sari) in 2009-10. the experiment factors included different seedprocessing stages (before cleaning, after elevator, after pre cleaning, after cleaning, after drying ...

background & aim: kelussia odoratissima mozaff. (apiaceae) is one of the medicinal plants and endemic in zagros mountains, iran, which unfortunately due to illegal harvest is endangered. in order to break dormancy and to evaluation of effect of different treatments on traits a factorial experiment base on completely randomized design was created on the seed zone sar-aghaseyed functions in c...
