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...

in order to study of the effect of priming and salinity on physiological and chemical characteristics of wheat(triticum aestivum l.), an experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of shiraz university. results showedthat primed plants significantly reduced its gas exchanges by accelerating senescence under a series of salt stress,which became more serious along with the increasing of s...

High salinity results in a decrease plant photosynthesis and crop productivity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect UV-C priming treatments lettuce seeds on plants grown at high salinity. Non-primed primed were an hydroponic system, with standard nutrient solution, either supplemented 100 mM NaCl (high salinity), or not (control). Considering that leaf root K + concentrations re...

Physiology is generally considered to consist of that branch of biology concerned with the function of liv­ ing organisms and the underlying physicochemical processes, with gen­ eral physiology specifically concerned with the analytical investigation of the molecular and cellular mecha­ nisms of fundamental physiologi­ cal processes. The Journal of General Physiology (the JGP) was founded by Ja...

The present study examined whether the rates of oocyte maturation, fertilization and development, as well as pregnancy rate could be improved by human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) priming 36 h before immature oocyte retrieval in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Immature oocyte retrieval was performed on day 10-14 of the cycles and patients were randomly allocated either to be ...
