Seed germination characteristics of Halogeton glomeratus

Effect of Germination Regulating Chemicals on Seed Germination of Halogeton Glomeratus for Alleviation of Salinity Stress

Halogeton glomeratus (Bieb.) C.A. Mey (Chenopodiaceae) is an annual forb that is widely distributed in mixed desert shrub, salt desert shrub and pinyon-juniper communities of northern Utah. Halogeton glomeratus seeds gave only 78% germination in distilled water. Fusicoccin (FC) had some effects in partially alleviating innate dormancy while other chemicals had no effect. Seed germination was in...

Physiological and proteomic analyses of salt stress response in the halophyte Halogeton glomeratus

Very little is known about the adaptation mechanism of Chenopodiaceae Halogeton glomeratus, a succulent annual halophyte, under saline conditions. In this study, we investigated the morphological and physiological adaptation mechanisms of seedlings exposed to different concentrations of NaCl treatment for 21 d. Our results revealed that H. glomeratus has a robust ability to tolerate salt; its o...

An Investigation of Seed Germination Characteristics of Twenty Medicinal Plants

Due to the side effects of chemical drugs, the use of medicinal plants has increased in recent years. In this study, in order to select suitable medicinal plants for planting in the soil of Fars Science and Research Branch of Islamic Azad University, the seed germination characteristics of twenty medical plants were examined. These germination parameters include germination percentage, germinat...

Ecological significance of seed germination characteristics in flood-meadow species

In climate chamber and outdoor experiments we analysed germination traits of 42 vascular plant species typical of floodmeadows of the alliance Cnidion. In Central Europe such flood-meadows and their highly endangered character species are confined to large lowland river corridors with a dry and warm climate. Due to the prevailing ecological conditions, particularly the extremely high variabilit...
