The effects of different priming treatments and priming durations on germination percentage at different temperatures in parsley seeds were studied. The seeds were treated for 2, 4, 6 and 8 days with the PEG 6000 (–0.5 MPa, –1.0 MPa and –1.5 MPa), KNO3 (0.30 mol/L and 0.35 mol/L), Mannitol (0.50 mol/L and 0.60 mol/L) and hydropriming (12h, 24h, 36h and 48h) and unprimed (control). Germination s...

Physiological Responses of Quinoa Varieties (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) to Hydropriming and Drought Stress

Seed imbibition under cold temperature is dangerous when dry seeds have relatively low water content. The aim of this study was to investigate germination of 20 lines/cultivars of narrow-leaf lupine at 7 °C (cold) and 13 °C (control) under the influence of smoke water and following seed hydropriming for 3 h at 20 °C. The efficacy of individual treatments was examined with regard to seed protect...

Assim sendo, foram testadas as espécies: Sesbania virgata, Anadenanthera colubrina, Luetzelburgia auriculata, Cenostigma pyramidale, Vachelia farnesiana, Piptadenia retusa, Senna spectabilis, Mimosa tenuiflora, Sarcomphalus joazeiro Enterolob...

In order to evaluate the effect of hydropriming and Salinity stress on germination indices Niger, a factorial experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design with four replications at seed research laboratory Shahrekord University. treatments were applied five levels (0, 25, 50, 100 150 mM NaCl). Hydropriming two (control 6-hour distilled water). Results showed that effects water s...

study of magnetic field and seed hydropriming effects on tomato seed germination was done in laboratory of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the experiment was as factorial experiment based on randomized completely design, which was including two level of hydropriming (use of dry seed and soaked seed in distilled water for five hours) and eight level of magnetic field (pretreatment of seeds...
