germination is a critical stage in the life cycle of plants and often controls population dynamics, with major practical implications. salsola arbusculiformis is one of the most important plants used to prevent soil erosion and a good fodder resource for sheep and goat in the rangelands of iran. however, the species seems to have low seed germination, so the purpose of this study was to investi...

there is substantial diversity in achillea biebersteinii plants in iran. it has considerable different biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, insecticidal, herbicidal and wound healing. research improvement for medicinal plants depends on the available genetic diversity. the assessment of genetic variability could increase the information for breeding programs. ...

The germination percentage of Acacia catechu Willd. seeds were tested with four pre-sowing treatments in the nursery of Bangladesh Forest Research Institute and growth performances of seedlings were determined both in nursery and field conditions. The germination test was conducted both in germination tray and nursery bed filled with mixture of soil and decomposed cow dung at a ratio of 3:1. Th...

In the present study, the effect of some pre-treatments implemented on seeds of Oriental hornbeam (Carpinus orientalis), which has wide geographical variation along Turkey on germination percentage values were investigated. For this purpose, 13 different pre-treatments were implemented to seeds obtained from 17 different populations. According to the obtained results (except control seeds), pre...
