to evaluate effected of supplemental irrigation and seed priming on yield and some quantity and quality characteristics of  vetch (vicia dasycarpa) rainfed maragheh cultivar, an experiment was carried out at the research farm of faculty agriculture of urmia university, west azarbaijan province, iran, during 2011. the experimental design was split-plot, laid out in randomized complete block with...

introduction: b. campestris is an old plant that commonly grows in arid and semi-arid areas. it has mucilage in the epidermal cells of canola seeds, a considerable variation in growth form and characteristics across the many cultivars. these species have in general, a flat root without an elongated crown, with stems that typically grow 30 to 120 cm tall. the leaves are large, soft, smooth or so...

Priming of seed is intended to reduce the time germination through activation pre-germinative processes. Seed priming controlled hydration followed by a drying (dehydration) process. The physiological processes during (imbibition) were studied in detail tomato. In contrast, gibberellic acid changes dehydration phase not detail. We hypothesize that there would be change GA concentration process,...

Priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increased seed performance (germination and emergence), seedling growth and plant yield under stress conditions, such as salinity, temperature and drought stress. In order to evaluate the effect of growth hormones on morphology characteristics and essential oil of basil under drought stress condition, a experiment was cond...

In order to investigate the effect of seed inoculation with Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobactria (PGPR) on germination and some biochemical and physiological indices of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) under salinity stress, an experiment was conducted. Experimental factors were included in seed priming in five levels (seed inoculation with three strains of Pf2, Pf25 and CHA0 of Pseudomonas fluorescen...

welsh onion (allium fistulosum l.) is one of the important vegetable crops in china. however, the seeds of this crop are short-lived and their vitality tends to be easily lost in the course of storage. the present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of welsh onion seed priming with potassium nitrate (kno3) on seed vigor and on other such related mechanisms during twelve months of stora...
