In order to study the effects of different levels of salinity on germination components of wheat cultivars, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three replications. Experimental factors were wheat cultivars at eight levels (Saysons, Gaspard, Finkan, MV-17, Chamran, Sardari, Atila-4 and Azar-2) and six levels of salinity (0, 25, 50, 100, 150 and 200 m...

Temperature is an important environmental factor in plant distribution and the most important factor in determining the success or failure of seedling establishment. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different levels of gibberellic, salicylic and ascorbic acid on improvement of germination indices of Zygophyllum atriplicoides under temperature stress in laboratory. Factori...

Seed priming is a common way to increase the speed and uniformity of germination under Under stress and non-stress conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different levels of gibberellic , salicylic and ascorbic acid on improvement of germination indices of Zygophyllum atriplicoides under salt stress in laboratory Chemical stimulators used in this study include: 3 le...

Germination and seedling establishment are sensitive and important stages in the life cycle of plants that are affected by abiotic stresses, especially drought and salinity stresses. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of osmotic potential (due to sodium chloride and polyethylene glycol) on germination and biochemical indices of Salicornia sinus-persica Akhani spec. nov.Akhani s...

Three separate experiments conducted to survey the response of two populations of common purslane weed collected from Karaj and Ahvaz on germination and early growth. The first experiment was based on 4 levels of flooding, including 1, 2, 4, 8 days plus non-flooding treatment as a control. Second experiment addressed the impact of various acidity levels, such as 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and finally...
