Seedlots of sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) originating from three different provenance regions were collected in autumn 2012. The seed quality, namely vitality and germination rate, was assessed according to Czech conventions. There were four replications within each seedlot, i.e. twelve treatments altogether for each experimental variant. The effect of gibberellic acid on germination ...

effect of gibberellic acid on marigold (calendula officinalis l.) was evaluated in a pot culture experiment. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design including 12 treatments and four replications was carried out. main factor was foliar application stages (first, second and third) and sub factor included different concentrations of ga3 (0, 50, 150 and 250 mg l-1). results sho...

Tulip is one of the most important flowers to precocity. Treatment of tulip bulbs with gibberellic acid reduces the forcing period in the greenhouse resulting energy saving and reduces the tulip’s physiological disorders. This study carried out about three tulip cultivars includes ‘Lacourtine’, ‘Yokohama’ and ‘Red Favourite’. The results showed that gibberellic acid reduced significantly stem l...

Bean callus was induced to form roots (tissue differentiation) and vascular nodules (cell differentiation) by lowering the ratio of auxin to cytokinin in the growth medium. Both types of differentiation were inhibited by the addition of abscisic acid (at concentrations greater than I muM) to induction medium. Initiation of differentiation was inhibited, but its subsequent development was not, a...

The effect of protease inhibitors on the response of gibberellic acid-treated barley aleurone layers to ethylene was examined. In the absence of protease inhibitors, ethylene plus gibberellic acid initially increased the production of amylase activity relative to layers incubated with gibberellic acid alone. Exposure to ethylene plus gibberellic acid for 48 hours or longer, however, led to depr...

background & aim: turmeric, scientifically named (curcuma longa l.), a member of ginger (zingiberaceae) family, is a perennial plant, with pharmaceutical properties and with a rhizome. this plant has many medicinal characteristics including anti-cancer, anti-bacteria and anti-hepatitis properties. experimental: to study the effects of gibberellic acid and salicylic acid on leaf, the rhizome...

The production of protease by isolated aleurone layers of barley in response to gibberellic acid has been examined. The protease arises in the aleurone layer and is mostly released from the aleurone cells. The courses of release of amylase and protease from aleurone layers, the dose responses to gibberellic acid and the effects of inhibitors on the production of both enzymes are parallel. As is...

henbane hyoscyamus reticulatus l. is a plant species in solanaceae family that seeds hardly germinate because of seed dormancy. in order to determine the best methods for seed dormancy breaking in henbane, a experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three replications. the treatments included moist pre-chilling (at 4 °c) for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days, combined treatment of gib...
