This study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of irrigation and application of Zn fertilizer on  seed storage proteins  in chickpea, Azad cultivar. Experiment was performed in an factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. In this experiment, two factor consist of irrigation in three levels (I1= non irrigation and I2= irrigation in...

an experiment was conducted to determine the aging mechanism in safflower seed using natural aging treatment (storing seed at room temperature for six years) and accelerated aging ( incubating the seed at 41?c and close to 100% relative humidity for 4 ,8 and 12 days). the results indicated that both natural and accelerated aging reduced germination percentage, seed vigor and activity of catalas...

Seed storage proteins are synthesized as sources of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur for the next generation of plants. Reactive oxygen species serve as second messengers for signal transduction; however, molecular targets of oxidant signaling have not been defined. Here, many researchers showes that ligand–receptor mediated signaling promotes reactive oxygen species– dependent protein carbonylation...

Periodicity in words is one of the most fundamental areas of text algorithms and combinatorics. Two classical and natural variations of periodicity are seeds and covers (also called quasiperiods). Linear-time algorithms are known for finding all the covers of a word, however in case of seeds, for the past 15 years only an O(n logn) time algorithm was known (Iliopoulos, Moore and Park, 1996). Fi...

Seed deterioration is loss of seed quality, viability and vigor due to effect of adverse environmental factors. Many of our crops are reproduced through seeds, and throughout the world large quantities are produced, stored and transported. Seed ageing during storage may cause retardation of field establishment, and may eventually result in seedling abnormalities or even failure of emergence. Du...
