Low soil temperature is one of the reasons for poor germination and establishment of maize. The aim of this study was to evaluatethe possibilityof improvingthe seedling emergence and performance of maize under low temperature stress. A pot experiment was conducted on Zea maize (single cross 704) at 14 ºC as cold stress and seed treatments were priming with  200,  300 and 400ppm of GA3; 100, 200...

Salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stress factors limiting the plants' growth. Seed priming is known as a method which improves the germination performance in seeds in stress conditions. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Hydropriming and Halopriming on germination performance of Secale montanum while growing under the NaCl-salinity stress. Hydropr...

Field experiments were conducted during 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the efficacy of herbicides NICOSULFURON and EPTC alone or in combination with seed priming on weed control and corn yield. NICOSULFURON (80 g a.i. ha‒1) was applied at four- to six-leaf stage of corn as post-emergence and EPTC (4920 g a.i. ha‒1) applied as pre-plant incorporation (PPI). Among the herbicide treatments, the lowest ...

The influence of plant roots and the associated rhizosphere activities on decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM), the rhizosphere priming effect, has emerged as a crucial mechanism regulating global carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles. However, the role of root morphology in controlling the rhizosphere priming effect remains largely unknown. To investigate the link between root hairs, a crit...

Four structural priming experiments investigated the lexical boost effect in priming. In two experiments, we tested whether repeating subject prepositional object or double ditransitive structures boosted other manipulated repetition of verb. Repetition noun affected priming, but only when prime remained visible while participants produced target sentence. contrast, verb regardless could see an...

Priming fresh and naturally aged canola seeds with different substances observing the seed germination properties are involved in this work. Fresh of cv. “süzer” were treated distilled water, -0.8 MPa polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 50 mM thiamine for 8 hours. Storage showed loss capacity compared to seeds. Present findings indicate that priming can improve speed both canola. Germination percent...

in order to study effects of exogenous application salicylic acid on morphological and physiological characteristics of wheat (shirazcultivar) under soil and water salinity in the neyriz city, an experiment was conducted in year 2009-2010 by factorial exprement in a completely randomized blocks design with four replications. treatment consisted of three levels of priming with salicylic acid (0‚...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on yield and yield components of cowpea (vigna unguiculata) cultivar “parastou” were investigated under water deficit conditions. experiment was carried out as a split block design with three replications in 2008-2009 at research station of zanjan university. factors included drought stress as main factor with three levels (normal irrigation, applicatio...

to determine the effects of priming and planting density on improvement of morphological and physiological traits of the two hybrid corns sc (s.c. 704) under double cropping in sari, a split plot experiment as randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted in 2010. treatments included two densities of 80 and 100 thousand plants per hectare as the first factor and osmoprim...
