in order to evaluation the effect of drought stress on germination indices and early seedling growth of medicinal herb dill (anethum graveolens l), an experiment was conducted in the agricultural laboratory of urmia payam noor university in 2015 as a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were five levels of drought stress (0, -1, -2, -3 and -4 bar induced by polyet...

Restricted water resources are a limiting factor for irrigation applications throughout the world. The effects of irrigation regimes (amount) on cotton lint yield are known, but there is little information on the effect of irrigation regimes on seed quality of cotton. In this study, the effects of deficit irrigation after the onset of flowering on lint yield and seed quality of cotton (Gossypiu...

                In order to determine the best developmental stage of three common bean cultivars (Talash, COS16 and Khomain) at which maximum seed quality is attained under different irrigation regimes (I1-irrigation after 60 mm, I2-irrigation after 80 mm and I3-irrigation after 100 mm evaporation from class A pan), a split plot experiment (using R.C.B. design) with 3 replications was conducte...

the genus thymus is perennial medicinal plants belong to the lamiaceae familythat is used for different propose in pharmaceutical industry. environmental stresses,particularly salinity, are considered as the major factor reducing plant growth. the purpose ofthis study was to investigate the effects of salt stress on germination characteristics andseedling morphology in two medicinal species of ...

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...

Abstract Maturity is an important factor in regulating seed vigor, while inappropriate harvest date affects vigor seriously. Here we reported that the was highest among 25–28 days after pollination, and these were best time for sunflower seeds. Seed moisture content increased first then decreased, dry weight continuously with advancement of development. Oil protein are main nutriments mature se...

The variations in seed quality and scarcity vigor studies have been limiting factors crop establishment at different regions of its Andes origin. present study aimed to evaluate the physiological quinoa seeds, from cultivars Brazil, Colombia Ecuador. research was conducted Seeds Technology Laboratory University Brasília, through tests germination, hypocotyl radicle length accelerated agi...
