to better understand seed priming that improve seed germination and seedling uniformity, we examined the physiological role of osmopriming in germination of bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) seed embryos by a proteomic approach. for this purpose, we used two systems. the first system consisted of osmo-primed seeds by peg 6000 at -0.8 mpa at 15?c for 24 hours, followed by air drying at 15?c, an...

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...

background: various frequencies of sperm aneuploidy are reported in sperms of subfertile patients compared to normal individuals. moreover, sperm dna damage is shown to be associated with male infertility. in this study, the rate of dna damage and frequencies of aneuploidy in sperms of subfertile patients was investigated. methods: semen samples were obtained from healthy normal and subfertile ...
