emergence of crops is affected by environmental factors such as soil water, salinity and sowing and seed quality. the present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed aging (seed quality) on emergence of wheat under optimum (control) and stressful conditions including salinity (2 levels), drought (2 levels) and deep sowing depth (physical stress). seeds (cv. ‘zagros’) were kept at a h...

Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe the methods preparation African nightshade (Solanum scabrum) and determine proximate composition dishes consumed by Cameroonians living in Boyo, Momo, Mezam Menchum divisions North West Region.
 Methodology: used all 25 recipes purchased from same farmer at kedjom ketingoh division were prepared laboratory College Technonolgy – Universit...

Objective: In this research, the production and quality characteristics of new healthy pomegranate snacks (Punica granatum L.) obtained by drying after different pre-treatments were investigated. Material Methods: Besides control group, three applied to seeds before drying. Pomegranate without any pre-treatment grouped as “control” samples (C) other group was boiled in 80 °C water for 2 minutes...

In order to study of hydropriming and halopriming on germination and early growth stage of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) an experiment was carried out in laboratory of the Department of AgroNomy and Plant breeding, Shahrood University of Technology. Seed treatments consisted of T1: control (untreated seeds), T2: soaking in distilled water for 18 h (hydropriming). T3: soaking in -1.2 MPa solution...

Experiments were conducted during January 2009 at CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, Palampur, (HP) India to study the effect of light and temperature on seed germination of important medicinal and aromatic plants viz., Stevia rebaudiana, Salvia sclarea and Tagetes minuta in sand and filter paper. The treatments comprised of two factors viz., light and temperature regimes under...

The bulk of p isotopes is created in the ’gamma processes’ mainly by sequences of photodisintegrations and beta decays in explosive conditions in Type Ia supernovae (SNIa) or in core collapse supernovae (ccSN). The contribution of different stellar sources to the observed distribution of p-nuclei in the Solar System is still under debate. We explore single degenerate Type Ia supernovae in the f...

Boiled seed hardness is an important factor in the processing of soybean food products such as nimame and natto. Little information is available on the genetic basis for boiled seed hardness, despite the wide variation in this trait. DNA markers linked to the gene controlling this trait should be useful in soybean breeding programs because of the difficulty of its evaluation. In this report, qu...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sub1 is involved in several cellular processes such as, transcription initiation, elongation, mRNA processing and DNA repair. It has also been reported to provide cellular resistance during conditions of oxidative DNA damage and osmotic stress. Here, we report a novel role of SUB1 during starvation stress-induced sporulation, which leads to meiosis and spore formation i...

The occurrence of Fusarium spp associated with pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis) diseases in Brazil has been observed in recent laboratory analyses in Rio Grande do Sul State. Thus, in this study, we i) obtained Fusarium isolates from plants with disease symptoms; ii) tested the pathogenicity of these Fusarium isolates to pecan; iii) characterized and grouped Fusarium isolates that were pathogen...
