almolookhiyeh (corchorus olitorius l.) known in the world as a valuable medicinal plant that was produced for the first time in iran in 2011. this study was aimed to quantify germination response of almolookhiyeh to temperature. for this purpose, seeds were exposed to different constant temperatures (10 ,15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50°c) in seed research lab, gorgan university of agricultura...

To better understand seed germination, a complex developmental process, we developed a proteome analysis of the model plant Arabidopsis for which complete genome sequence is now available. Among about 1,300 total seed proteins resolved in two-dimensional gels, changes in the abundance (up- and down-regulation) of 74 proteins were observed during germination sensu stricto (i.e. prior to radicle ...

in order to evaluate the response of russian knapweed seeds to cardinal temperatures a factorial experiment was conducted base on completely randomized design with 3 replications. russian knapweed seeds (collected from irrigated and rainfed wheat fields), and germination temperatures (constant temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35° c) were used as first and second levels of the experiment. ...

seed dormancy is one of the major problems in the study of the effects of different factors on the weed seed germination characteristics because healthy seeds without dormancy, having high vigor and germinability are needed in these studies. this experiment was carried out to find simple, applicable, cheap, quick and efficient methods to breaking seed dormancy in velvetleaf which is one of the ...

Perfect timing of germination is required to encounter optimal conditions for plant survival and is the result of a complex interaction between molecular processes, seed characteristics, and environmental cues. To detangle these processes, we made use of natural genetic variation present in an Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) Bayreuth × Shahdara recombinant inbred line population. For a detai...

In developing countries, or in those countries that do not produce peat, forest soil has traditionally been used as a substrate for cultivation of seedlings nurseries. However, found to high quality. Additionally, the harvesting within forested stands negative environmental connotations. The objective this study was evaluate use Acacia cyanophylla–based compost an alternative growing media prod...
