abstract

dormancy of eastern dodder and african rocket seeds makes the controlof them very difficult in orchards and farms. in order to study the effective factors in dormancy breaking of these two weeds species, a factorialexperiment based on crd with three replications was conducted at the research laboratory of birjand faculty of agriculture in 2008 and 2009. treatments were: control, soaking in sulfuric acid 96% (for 15, 30, 60 and 90 seconds), moist chilling at +1 and -8°c for 15 and 30 days, scarification with sandpaper for 2 minutes, soaking in tap water at room temperature for 36 hours, placing eastern dodder seeds at hotwater (boiling water) for half, 1, 2 and 5mins, incubation of african rocket seeds ingiberelic acid 1 mm and incubation of eastern dodder seeds after 7 and 11 months and african rocket seeds after 4 and 5 months dry storage at room temperature (25°c). results showed that placing seed in hotwater, and sulfuric acid as well as scarification with sandpaper had the greatest effect on dormancy breaking of dodder seeds at two light/dark and darkness regimes, thereforehard seedcoat is the most likely causeof eastern dodderseeddormancy. in the other hand, maximum germination (91.7%) of african rocket seeds was occurred where seeds incubated with ga3, at light/dark condition. indicating that the existence of a physiological seed dormancy.

Seed dormancy-breaking and germination requirements of

Dormancy breaking and germination requirements were investigated in seeds of Ferula ovina and Ferula gummosa. Seeds of rather species were collected from north and eastern-north rangelands of Iran. Seeds of each of the species were subjected to different treatments including various levels of GA3, chilling and combination of GA3 and chilling (GA-chilling). In contrast to treated seeds, non-trea...

Evaluation of different hormonal and temperature treatments on dormancy breaking of Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) seed

Extended Abstract Introduction: Lavandula angustifolia L. is one of the most important plants belonging to Lamiaceae which has abundant use in traditional and pharmacological medicine. Lavender seed dormancy is one of the problems in producing seedlings which increases seed consumption. In this regard, an experiment was carried out to investigate different treatments for seed dormancy eliminat...

A STUDY ON SEED GERMINATION OF AVENA LUDOVICIANA AND THE EFFECTIVE FACTORS IN SEED DORMANCY BREAKING

Wild oat has two seeds in a spikelet that they have different physiological behavior in regard of  seed germiantion. The upper seed of spikelet is smaller and has deeper dormancy than the lower seed. The range of temperature for germination is  5˚C  to  25 ˚C  and optimal temperature is 15˚C. Both kinds of seeds showed the more  germination rate in low temperatures so that 5 and 10˚C are better...
