Background of the research and purpose: Instead using costly synthetic excipients or polymers, authors were in search an economical, easily available, plant-based excipient for making microspheres. Plantago ovata seeds have already been proven to anti-ulcer gastro-protective activity. The same mucilage is used this study as a polymer that can aid floating In study, from was added sodium alginat...

Seed priming is widely recognized as a significant phenomenon for synchronizing germination and enhancing the vigor of seeds. Seeking importance priming, influence magnetic treatments in overall performance plants cannot be undermined well. In present study, seeds Pisum sativum L. Plantago ovata Forssk. were primed with essential Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) such as; Gibberellic acid (GA3), P...

water deficit stress is the most important environmental constraint for growth, yield and productivity of crops, including the oil seed crops. this study was aimed at studying the influence of differing irrigation régimes on growth, chlorophyll , proline and some antioxidants content along with grain yield, yield components and oil content of sesame genotypes using a 4-replicate split plot rand...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Parasitism is well understood to have wide-ranging deleterious effects on host performance in species thus far characterized. Photosynthetic performance reductions have been noted in the Striga-Zea mays association; however, no such information exists for facultative hemiparasitic plants and their hosts, nor are the effects of host species understood. METHODS Chlorophyll f...

Background: Salinity stress is one of the most severe problems in agriculture. Seed priming a technique that improves seed germination and growth under abiotic stress. The study was conducted to evaluate effects different agents on seedling Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forsk) Variety GI-3 salinity Methods: experiment with completely randomized design. factors examined include four types priming, con...
