Pyrethrum is a perennial daisy grown commercially for the insecticide that is extracted from its flowers. In order to evaluate germination and seedling growth of pyrethrum under different temperature and drought stress treatments, an experiment was conducted in seed technology laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture of Islamic Azad University of Isfahan branch in 2018. During this experiment, poly...

The physiological process of germination depends on several environmental factors such as temperature, water potential, light, nutrients and smoke. Water and temperature are determinant factors for seed germination. Both factors can, separately or jointly, affect the germination percentage and germination rate. The effect of temperature on germination and water potential on germination canoften...

Salinity is one of the environmental factors that have a critical influence on the germination of seeds and plant establishment. Salinity affects imbibition, germination and root elongation. In this study, the germination characteristics of Matricaria comomilla and Thymus deanensis were studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of salinity on germination of these species....

this research was carried out to investigate allelopathic effect of peganum harmala on seed germination of bromus tectorum. aboveground and underground tissues of peganum harmala in addition to its seeds were collected from bijar rangelands. collected materials of root, leaves, stem, seeds and a complex of mentioned parts were dried and powder. the research was performed at the greenhouse condi...

background and objectives: germination and seedling establishment are two critical and important stages during plants growing season. from seed technology viewpoint, germination refers to emergence and development from seed embryo, so that could produce normal seedling. many studies  have been done to determine germination cardinal temperatures and required thermal time for emergence occurrence...
