Water-deficit stress poses tremendous constraints to sustainable agriculture, particularly under abrupt climate change. Hence, it is crucial find eco-friendly approaches ameliorate drought tolerance, especially for sensitive crops such as maize. This study aimed at assessing the impact of seed halo-priming on seedling vigor, grain yield, and water use efficiency maize various irrigation regimes...

The effect of pre-sowing priming with N-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C6-HSL) solution (300 mg/L) on acorn germination and morpho-phenological characteristics Quercus robur Q. rubra was studied under laboratory conditions. After priming, 93.4% acorns germinated that exceeded the control by 32.2%, while number sprouted increased within error limits 5% more than amounted to 90%. According morpho...

to investigate the effect of on-farm seed priming and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in different amounts of phosphate fertilizer on emergence, yield and yield components of a semi-mid maturity corn hybrid (es-sensor), an experiment was conducted at the research station of agriculture college, bu-ali sina university in 2012 in a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications, ...

introduction: b. campestris is an old plant that commonly grows in arid and semi-arid areas. it has mucilage in the epidermal cells of canola seeds, a considerable variation in growth form and characteristics across the many cultivars. these species have in general, a flat root without an elongated crown, with stems that typically grow 30 to 120 cm tall. the leaves are large, soft, smooth or so...
