Background & Aim: Because of seed germination ability of medicinal plants seed is low and, generally exposed to problem. Priming is one of the techniques that help seeds to be germinated faster and uniformly. Experimental: A laboratory experiment was carried out on germination and growth improvement in Heracleum persicum Desf.  by seed osmo-primming in Seed Technology Labora...

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...

soil and water salinity in arid and semi-arid regions, is one of the most important stresses, can severely limit crop production. black cumin (nigella sativa l.) is annual important herbal plant in rununculaceae family that sense to salinity. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the priming on seed germination of black cumin under saline stress. the experiment was carried out as ...

salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stress factors limiting the plants' growth. seed priming is known as a method which improves the germination performance in seeds in stress conditions. the objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of hydropriming and halopriming on germination performance of secale montanum while growing under the nacl-salinity stress. hydropr...

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a microwave-assisted chemical method. ZnO nanostructures were synthesized via a fast reaction between zinc acetate and ammonia at presence citric acid and other effective agents in chemical procedure. Nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction , scanning electron microscopy. Seed yield and seed quality of safflower grown under drought stress. Th...

Chamomile (Anthemis haussknechtii Boiss. & Reut. and Anthemis pseudocotula Boiss.) are annual, medicinal and aromatic plant belong to Asteraceae family. This two species have special important in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. Current study was carried out to investigation of different pre-treatments for enhancement of seed emergence potential, rate of emergence and v...

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...
