both poor germination and crop establishment due to water stress and salinity are among the most important limitations for production in semi-arid regions such as iran. to evaluate the response of four genotypes of triticale (et-82-15، et-82-8، et-79-17 and juanillo-92) to different water potentials caused by salinity and/or drought and recognizing the germination and seedling establishment, a ...

in order to study the effect of  foliar application of zinc and iron on germination of soybaen seed under different level of irrigation, an experiment was conducted in 2009 at shahrekord agricultural research center. main factor was including of four levels of drought stress as irrigation (irrigation after 60, 80, 100 and 120 mm evaporation from class a evaporation basin) and sub factor was inc...

The pollen of five diploid and two tetraploid guayule (Parthenium argentatum Gray) plants was cultured on nutrient media. It was observed that guayule pollen is released as tetrads of spores which will not ger­ minate on the media unless they are separated into individual pollen grains. For each plant, the results of the germination tests varied with the day and the time of day of the pollen co...

in this study, in vitro non-symbiotic germination of self pollinated seeds, protocorms survival percentage and protocorms growth of phalaenopsis ‘kyoto’ were investigated. for this purpose, five different modified media include vasin and went (vw), murashing and skoog (ms), ½ ms, knudson c (kc), fast that supplemented with two g/l peptone, 15 percent sterile coconut water or two g/l peptone tog...

time of acquisition desiccation tolerance in peanut seed during different growing stages was determined by evaluating seed moisture content, germination capability and electrical conductivity. it was done in research field of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources in completely block randomize design in four planting date and four replications. sampling was done weakly...

The occurrence of various species of Brassicaceae with indehiscent fruits in the cold deserts of NW China suggests that there are adaptive advantages of this trait. We hypothesized that the pericarp of the single-seeded silicles of Isatis violascens restricts embryo expansion and thus prevents germination for 1 or more years. Thus, our aim was to investigate the role of the pericarp in seed dor...

abstract wild lettuce (lactuca serriola) is an annual weed with seed reproduction. an experiment was conducted to evaluate some environmental effects on germination and emergence of this weed. the type of design was completely randomized with four replications in which factors were arranged as factorial. the experiment was carried out with 11 cm petri dishes in a germinator (10 °c) and without ...
