effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under controlled conditions. the primed seeds with znso4 had the maximum germination percentage whereas the highest germination rate was observed in hydro-primed seeds. the treated seeds with peg showed the best growth of the seedlings and rootlet. the complementary field experiment was conducted to evaluate the ef...

Studies on French adults using a written lexical decision task with masked priming, in which targets were more primed by consonant- (jalu-JOLI) than vowel-related (vobi-JOLI) primes, support the proposal that consonants have weight vowels processing. This study examines phonological and/or nature of this consonant bias (C-bias), sandwich priming brief presentation target (pre-prime) precedes pr...

Introduction: Orexin-containing neurons exist in the lateral hypothalamic region, sending their projections toward mesolimbic regions such as the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA). Methods: In the current study, a Reinstatement model is used to examine the effects of intra-VTA administration of SB334867 as an Orexin-1 Receptor (OX1R) antagonist on drug priming- and Forced Swim Stress (FSS)-induced ...

Recent studies have introduced seed priming with H2O2 as an effective technique to alleviate abiotic stresses in plants. In the current study, accomplished at Faculty of Sciences, Shahrekord University, seeds of medicinal plant Artemisia aucheri were primed with H2O2 (0, 10, 50, 90 and 140 µM) and grown under salt stress (0 and 150 mM NaCl) for one month. Results showed a decrease in H2O2 and m...

Temperature is a key factor influencing plant growth and productivity; however, temperature fluctuations can cause detrimental effects on crop growth. This study aimed to assess the effect of seed priming Camelina sativa L. under heat stress. Experimental treatments were comprised of; including, no-priming, hydropriming (distilled water priming), osmopriming (thiourea applications at 500 ppm), ...

to investigate the effects of priming and foliar spray by 24-epibrassinolide (ebr) on some of marigold morphological, biological and biochemical traits, an experiment was conducted as factorial on completely randomized design with three replications at experimental laboratory of department of horticulture, shahid bahonar university of kerman in 2014. each of priming and foliar spray of ebr had ...

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...

introduction lentil is one of the major legume with protein content about 28% where is cultivated in different regions of iran, especially in arid and semi-arid regions with low or variable rainfall. in these regions abiotic stresses such as heat of the around the end of growing season, drought stress in early and late within the season and salt stress alone or together have a large negative im...
