The experiment was conducted during October 2014 to December evaluate the effect of different levels salinity on seed germination and seedling growth sunflower. factorial consists three variety sunflower such as BRAC HySun 33, BARI sunflower-2, KU SL-1 five viz. 4, 8, 12, 16 dS m-1 with control. salt stress were varied significantly. (germination energy, capacity speed germination) parameters (...

Anchote, a high antioxidant with great functional potential, is multipurpose edible part and an underutilized endemic tuber in Ethiopia. Studies were carried out to determine the impact of pretreatment on phytochemical contents, activity, properties tubers seeds anchote order explore their potential uses. The methods adopted boiling sun drying for boiling, soaking, germination, roasting anchote...

In coming decades, increasing temperatures are expected to impact crop yield and seed quality. To develop low input systems, the effects of temperature and sulfur (S) nutrition in oilseed rape, a high S demanding crop, need to be jointly considered. In this study, we investigated the effects of temperatures [High Temperature (HT), 33°C/day, 19°C/night vs. Control Temperature (Ctrl T), 20°C/day,...

Salvia przewalskii Maxim. is an important Asian medicinal plant. The aim of the study was to investigate reaction seeds this species priming and storage temperature. germination, vigour health were determined for untreated osmoprimed diaspores, after harvest 12 months at 4 16°C. primed in polyethylene glycol (PEG) water solution with osmotic potential –0.8 –1.1 MPa. It has been found that osmop...

The influences of flax lignin and phenolic compounds obtained from spruce bark on the development of Lycopersicon esculentum plantlets were evaluated. Depending on the applied treatment and the concentrations used, the natural aromatic compounds had stimulatory effects on the germination capacity and the plantlets height and leaf area. The influence of lignin on Lycopersicon esculentum was lowe...

Citation: Galland M and Rajjou L (2015) Regulation of mRNA translation controls seed germination and is critical for seedling vigor. The control of seed germination capacity is a multi-level molecular process including, epigenetic, transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and post-translational regulation (Rajjou et al., 2012). Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, a wid...

To assess the potential for carry-over of loblolly pine (Pinus tuedu L.) and shortleaf pine (Pinus echinatu Mill.) seeds from one year to the next, seed viability was determined by germination tests following field storage for up to 21 months. Treatments included seeds stored (i) in a freezer, (ii) on the forest floor, (iii) 1.8 m above the forest floor and exposed to precipitation, and (iv) 1....

Grain amaranthus in its ordinary state may be modified by germination to perform extraordinary role as emulsifier for our fastgrowing food industry with a concomitant increase in food production to satisfy the everincreasing population of the world with its associated food insecurity. Hence, this study aimed at determining the optimum germination temperature for the maximum improvement of the f...

In Tunisia, more precisely in semi-arid and arid areas, drought accentuated by the superficial evaporation of water leads to a gradual increase salinity, which is limiting factor crop production. these highly salty ecosystems, some plants grow naturally; however, various species show different levels tolerance salinity during their development. The germination seeds most sensitive stage this ab...
