in order to study the effect of folic acid on seed reserves partitioning and early vigor of seedlings of kavir wheat cultivar, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with 0, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mm of folic acid. results of this study indicated that dry weight of seeds decreased in a same pattern in all treatments and about 6-8% of total seed was structural section. ...

Climate change in the form of drought will reduce agricultural production, so it is necessary to develop superior drought-tolerant varieties. The study aimed determine local upland rice cultivars at germination stage. From September December 2021, was carried out Seed Science and Technology Laboratory, Faculty Agriculture, Tadulako University, Palu, Center Sulawesi, Indonesia. A completely rand...

To determine the in vitro allelopathic effect of aqueous extract Calathea lutea (Aubl.) E.Mey. ex Schult. (bijao) on initial growth Lactuca sativa L. (lettuce) variety White Boston. An at 15% w/v was prepared with each part bijao plant (stem, leaf, and root), it left to stand for 48 hours, then extracts 2, 4, 6% concentrations were obtained by dilution. 10 lettuce seeds/petri dishes sown, irrig...

Salinity and heavy metal stresses are great hindrances to germination the early developmentof plants. Nickel (Ni) is an indispensable micronutrient for plants at low while toxic in highconcentrations. Citrullus colocynth L. a medicinal cucurbit weed desert agriculturalareas. Germination development of seedlings determine future plant. Thecontemporary target study appraise influence single combi...

In spite of commercial use of heterosis in agriculture, the molecular basis of heterosis is poorly understood. It was observed that maize hybrid Zong3/87-1 exhibited an earlier onset or heterosis in radicle emergence. To get insights into the underlying mechanism of heterosis in radicle emergence, differential proteomic analysis between hybrid and its parental lines was performed. In total, the...

Sodium and fluid retention in dialysis patients is associated with hypertension and vascular changes that may ultimately lead to serious cardiovascular complications. Achieving and maintaining dry weight appears to be an effective but forgotten strategy in controlling and maintaining normal blood pressure among hypertensive patients on dialysis. A crucial question is how to determine 'dry weigh...

Groundnut is an important oilseed, food and feed crop of our country whose productivity is curtailed due to biotic and abiotic stresses. Salinity is one of the important abiotic stresses which affects all stages of groundnut growth and finally the yield. Soil amelioration against salinity is a costly and time-consuming procedure. Alternative strategy is to develop salinity-tolerant groundnut ge...

Neither the P32-phosphate nor the S35-sulfate were metabolized by intact seeds until after radicle protrusion (15 to 18 hours after beginning of imbibition). Punctured seeds, however, metabolized the radioactive phosphate or sulfate within 3 hours after the beginning of imbibition. We concluded that the coats surrounding the embryo are impermeable to phosphate and sulfate ions. Most of the orga...
