The studies of induced mutation in Jatropha curcas were performed by exposing the healthy and dry seeds to gamma rays viz., 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 Kr doses and ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) viz., 1, 2, 3 and 4 %. The observations were made for seed germination percentage, growth and yield characters such as root length, shoot length, seedling length and vigour index, plant height, petiole length,...

Cinnamomum burmanii L, a cinnamon plant developed in Indonesia, requires high-quality seeds, yet propagation faces challenges due to limited access quality seeds at the appropriate time. This study aimed determine viability of from level maturity and size. The experimental design used this was randomized completed block with factorial pattern, first-factor treatment being namely: 1) K1 (purple)...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) production in the rainfed area of Pothwar Pakistan is extremely vulnerable to high temperature. The expected increase in temperature due to global warming should result in shorter crop life cycles, and thus lower biomass and grain yield. Two major factors control wheat phenological development: temperature and photoperiod. To evaluate wheat development in response to t...

Seed vigor is an important characteristic of seed quality. In this study, one rice population of recombinant inbred lines (RILs) was used to determine the genetic characteristics of seed vigor, including the germination potential, germination rate, germination index and time for 50% of germination, at 4 (early), 5 (middle) and 6 weeks (late) after heading in two years. A total of 24 additive an...

AIMS Ascospores of Talaromyces macrosporus are constitutively dormant and germinate after a strong external shock, classically a heat treatment. This fungus is used as a model system to study heat resistance leading to food spoilage after pasteurization. This study evaluates the effect of high pressure on the germination behaviour of these spores. METHODS AND RESULTS Ascospore containing bags...

Abstract To demonstrate the impact of planting date and pot shape on Flowering Seed Production Snapdragon plants under various production systems, a factorial experiment using randomized complete block design (RCBD) was carried out in local nursery city Duhok northern Iraq from Jan 10, 2021, to 6, 2022. Each experimental unit had eight pots, for total 92 pots experiment, which 24 units four rep...

Maturity is a matter of concern for the utilization livestock manures after composting because phytotoxicity immature compost. The seed germination test widely used evaluating maturity However, process was not studied by establishing model maturity. Here, we established time-to-event data proportion over time in with cow dung compost at different times. Results show that profile Chinese cabbage...

greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to examine the allelopathic effects of water extracts of pigweed (amaranthus retroflexu l.) leaf, stem, root and flower at different growth stages on canola seed germination and seedling growth. water extracts of leaf, stem, root and flower as individually, binary, ternary and quadri mixtures at 0, 50 and 100% concentrations were made and their e...

In order to study the effects of different salinity levels on turnip (Brassica rapa L.), an investigation was conducted at Yasouj University, Iran, in 2010. The effects of four salinity levels including 1.92, 9.87, 19.6 and 21.94 ds m-1 (20:1 ratio of NaCl: CaCl2 in Hoagland solution) on germination, vegetative and maturity stages of turnip (Baherghan landrace) were investigated. The results re...
