To evaluate the effect of priming on seed germination of Cucurbita pepo in drought stress conditions, a factorial experiment was conducted as completely randomized design with three replications. Treatments included drought stress at five levels of osmotic potential (zero, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9 and 1.2 MP), priming at levels of GA3 (250 ppm to 24 hours), KNO3 (0.2% for 24 hours) Hydro prime (H2O) (to 2...

To investigate the effect of quinine seed priming on morpho-physiological and biochemical traits of seedlings, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications at the seed processing laboratory of the Shahed University of Tehran. Experimental factors included two levels of seed age (one-year old and four-year old) and four priming treatments (control...

Osmotic stress is the most important of the abiotic stresses that lead to limitation of growth and yield in rapeseed. This study was conducted to examine the effect of cycocel seed priming on osmotic stress tolerance in germination and early growth stages of rapeseed, as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design at Agriculture College of Shiraz University in 2012. The treatme...

In order to study the effect of seed priming on morphophysiological characteristics of seedlings of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under salinity stress, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was conducted at the Research Center for Plant Sciences, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Iran, in 2011. In this study, osmotic solutions of NaCl with electri...

In order to evaluate the effect of seed priming and inoculation of two mycorrhizal species on a number of physiological characteristics, yield and yield components of a wheat cultivar (Parsi) in salinity stress conditions, an experiment was conducted as a split-plot factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in the years 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Isfahan Jihad Tr...

Mung bean is one of tropical and semitropical pulses that is important in food, fodder, green manure and improves soil fertility and is a cheap source of protein in human direct consumption. The use of zeolite in soils with heavy texture, because it keeps moisture and nutrients around the seeds and roots is very important. On the other hand, the application of techniques of improving seed quali...
