Recent research on seeds of bio-diesel plants like Jatropha curcas, constituting 40-50% bio-crude oil indicates its potential as one of the most promising alternatives to conventional sources of energy. Also, limited studies on utilization of de-oiled cake have revealed that Jatropha bio-waste has good potential to be used as organic fertilizers produced via aerobic and anaerobic treatment. How...

Seed germination is the initial step of plant development. Seed priming with salt promotes seed germination in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.); however, the molecular and physiological mechanisms underlying the enhancement of seed germination by priming remain to be elucidated. In this study, we examined the following in seeds both during and after priming treatment: the endogenous abscisic ac...

the purpose of this study was to examine the evaluating the potential of seed priming techniques in improving germination and early seedling growth of aeluropus macrostachys under salinity stress condition. this study was performed at the islamic azad university in baft city which is located in southeast of kerman province (2250 meters above the sea level, 92º 17 n latitude and 56º 36 e longitu...

Objective: To evaluate the effect of chemical stimuli on germination and seedling growth of Caper (Capparis Spinosa) under drought stress. Methods: Factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replicates per treatment were performed. First factor of priming include three levels of acetylsalicylic acid (300, 200 and 100 mg/L), gibberellic acid levels (500, 250 and 12...

The growth and yield of plants are strongly influenced by the early ability plants. Similar germination good seed vigor will greatly support plant increase production. Increasing seeds can be done through biopriming. application biopriming using rhizobacteria is developing environmentally friendly agricultural technology. This study aimed to determine effect inoculation from north coast Pemalan...

introduction corn (zea mays l.) is the third most important cereal crop in the world after wheat and rice (lashkari et al., 2011). corn production has been extended in to the whole world during the course of the last century due to its compatibility. it has more diversity compare to other cereal. many corn types are cultivated, including field corn, ornamental corn, popcorn, sweet corn and seve...

To better understand seed germination, a complex developmental process, we developed a proteome analysis of the model plant Arabidopsis for which complete genome sequence is now available. Among about 1,300 total seed proteins resolved in two-dimensional gels, changes in the abundance (up- and down-regulation) of 74 proteins were observed during germination sensu stricto (i.e. prior to radicle ...
