Seed germination and seedling growth are critical stages in the life cycle of a plant, especially under adverse abiotic stresses. Seed germination negatively affected by stress conditions. Seed priming techniques have been used to increase germination characteristics and improve germination uniform...

The purpose of this study was to examine the evaluating the potential of seed priming techniques in improving germination and early seedling growth of Aeluropus Macrostachys under salinity stress condition. This study was performed at the Islamic Azad University in Baft city which is located in southeast of kerman province (2250 meters above the sea level, 92º 17 N latitude and 56º 36 E longitu...

to better understand seed priming that improve seed germination and seedling uniformity, we examined the physiological role of osmopriming in germination of bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seed embryos by a proteomic approach. for this purpose, we used two systems. the first system consisted of osmo-primed seeds by peg 6000 at -0.8 mpa at 15?c for 24 hours, followed by air drying at 15?c, an...

Food waste is a serious global issue, and one way to reduce the impact of food by composting. Sandwich compost type fermented created with microbial fermentation; meanwhile, composting leachate provides nutrients for plants. Studies have shown that seed germination may be enhanced when treated sandwich leachate. Furthermore, few studies been on used priming. The objective this study was determi...

In order to investigate the effect of seed pretreatment with growth regulators on biochemical characteristics of red bean genotypes, a factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. In this research, seed pretreatment with growth regulators namely salicylic acid (SA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) were applied at four levels including P0: ...

this study was aimed to assess of priming effects on soluble proteins and antioxidant enzymes of as a nigella sativa medicinal plant under different levels of salinity and drought. two greenhouse factorial experiments with three replicated randomized complete block design were conducted.treatments included five levels of priming (potassium nitrate 1% and salicylic acid 0.2 mm in 6 hours, potass...
