The germination response of Hylocereus setaceus seeds to isothermic incubation at different water potentials was analysed by using the thermal time and hydrotime models, aiming to describe some germination parameters of the population and to test the validity of the models to describe the response of the seeds to temperature and water potential. Hylocereus setaceus seeds germinated relatively w...

The introduction of nanoparticles into seed germination and seedling growth of plants might have a significant impact and thus, it can be used for agricultural applications for better growth and yield. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of silica and silver nanoparticles on seed germination and early growth traits as well as percent and rate of germination, root length, shoot ...

The effect of scarification and stratification treatments on germination seedling vigour fresh teak drupes was investigated. were subjected to the following viz., control, acid (500 mL/kg drupe) for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 60 min. Cold 40 days at 5o C. Warm 40o treated control sown in sand filled earthen pots placed direct sunlight assessing germination. experiment conducted a Completely ...

introduction legumes are the most important source of vegetable protein supply. mungbean (vigna radiate (l.) wilczek) produces seeds contain 22-25 percent protein and high nutritional value for human and also is a major source of protein in most modern societies. rapid seed germination and emergency, is an important factor determining the ultimate yield of the plant. salinity is the most import...

This study reports the results of a questionnaire survey of female members of the British Epilepsy Association. The women were asked about their epilepsy and its management. A questionnaire was sent to 6000 BEA women members of whom 1855 (31%) replied. The majority of women (89%) stated they currently take older antiepileptic medications, either as monotherapy or in combination with others. New...

Drought is one of the limiting factors for better plant performance and higher yield. New variety selection is difficult due to the complex mechanism of drought resistance. Four Bulgarian soybean lines (selected after hybridization and mutagenesis), two Indian and one USA variety were used for field and laboratory experiments. Drought tolerance was estimated in irrigated and non-irrigated condi...

to study the effect of salinity stress on seed germination and seedling growth of four medicinal plants, nigella sativa l., cannabis sativa l., trigonella foenum graecum and cynara scolymus l. an experiment was conducted in the botany laboratory of islamic azad university, birjand branch. a completely randomized design (crd) with 3 replications was used as separately for each species. treatment...

Using chiral Ward identities of QCD, we derive a relation for the induced pseudoscalar coupling constant which is accurate within a few percent, gP = 8.44± 0.16. CRN-94/13 March 1994
