Seeds of the tropical tree Pangium edule Reinw. are widely eaten in Southeast Asia after some treatment or processing. Fermented seeds are a specialty in Indonesia and have been used as spices. Because the tree is wild and has not been cultivated commercially, the physiology of germinated seeds of this tree for food uses is not known. This study reports some biochemical changes during seed germ...

Palms are the most common support hosts for strangler fig (Ficus aurea) in the tropical dry forest. At Hummingbird Cay Tropical Field Station in the Bahamas, viable F. aurea seeds scattered on open soil germinate within 6 d in the laboratory at 27C in light or darkness. To test the hypothesis that water relations between seed and substrate can restrict the site of F. aurea establishment, fig se...

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) seeds were germinated to investigate the effect of fermentation period oak tree sawdust on germination viability and seedling characteristics. Its rate, weight, length, total vigor index assessed. The sown in fermented for 0, 30, 45, 60 days. rates significantly different. 45-day produced heaviest biomass weight (4.6 g) with longest true leaf (1.7 cm) hypocotyl (3.4...

we investigated the response of sea buckthorn to drought in a nursery experiment that has been studied for the first time in the world for iranian sea buckthorn. biomass and physiological differences in response to drought were compared between four elaeagnus rhamnoides seedlings inhabited in qazvin province origin seeds of iran. the experimental design included four water regimes including 2, ...

Our research indicates that in Kerman and Fars provinces the phenomenal growth of seeds dietary supplements have received considerable interest, because of their presumed safety and potential, nutritional and functional effects. This interest can be attributed to several social and economic factors, including consumer beliefs. The amount of 7 minerals Zn, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, K and Na, were determin...

the submitted articles to iranian congress of physiology and pharmacology could be analyzed for the distribution of research in different fields. based on field distribution of articles in 20th congress, it seems that a strategic planning for research development in the field of physiology and pharmacology is essential. it is also suggested to revise the congress scientific structure, and to us...
