Substrates and duration for conducting the safflower seed germination test

Seedling production of gurguéia nut (Dypterix lacunifera Ducke) I: Seed germination and suitable substrates for seedlings

Methods of seed germination and suitable substrates for seedling growth of gurguéia nut (Dipteryx lacunifera) were studied in the present work. The following methods of seed germination i.e. I and II) Room temperature water soak for 24 and 48 hours; III, IV, V and VI) hot water soak, for 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes, respectively; and VII) mechanical scarification, were studied. The studied substra...

Effects of seed germination with gibberellin on safflower germination under salinity stress

Abstract Salinity is one of the most important factors limiting plant growth and production around the world. Gibberellic acid is known as a strong growth stimulator, effective on seed germination and breaking of seed dormancy in various plant species. In order to study the response of Safflower,Sofeh cultivar, to salinity stress, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized...

exploring motivation and english test preparation strategies of iranian pre-university candidates during and at the end of test preparation period for konkur examination

the current study aimed at investigating the relationship between motivation and test preparation strategies (tpss) used by iranian pre-university students in their preparation period for the university entrance exam (uee). due to the importance of uee in iran, this study also attempted to show its impact on these two important variables. to this end, 100 pre-university students in an iranian p...

Seed germination and vigor.

Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using "-omics" approaches support the finding that a main contributor of seed germination success is the quality of the messenger RNAs stored during embryo maturation on the mother plant. In addition, proteostasis and DNA inte...
