Arabidopsis thaliana seeds imbibed for a short duration show phytochrome B (PhyB)-specific photo-induction of germination. Using this system, the relationship was determined between the amount of PhyB in seeds and photon energy required for PhyB-specific germination in two transgenic Arabidopsis lines transformed with either the Arabidopsis PhyB cDNA (ABO) or the rice PhyB cDNA (RBO). Immunoche...

Seed germination is an important growth phase in the plant life cycle that can be injured by osmotic stress. Germination is divided into three phases and many processes are initiated before radical protrusion. Many metabolic activities occur, especially in Sensu stricto germination phase since the seed embryo is a live organ, so differences in protein patterns are important in this phase. This ...

This paper presents the results of an experiment on effect cold plasma (He+O2 or He+Air) pre-sowing stimulation seeds Wolska cultivar onion process their germination. Four groups characterized by different exposure times (60, 120, 240 and 480 s) were used. Untreated used as a control. The distance between electrode tested material was 50 mm. Pre-sowing improved germination parameters such capac...

The article presents the results of bioecological characteristics and phenological features some varieties Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench in Vinnytsia region: two Ukrainian origin - ‘Sopilka’ ‘Alabama red’, as well a variety okra Turkish ‘Sultani’. Germination energy seed germination were studied. observations are obtained: calendar terms beginning phases, duration phases interphase periods...

The present study focused on detecting bacteria of the Xanthomonas spp. complex (X. euvesicatoria, X. vesicatoria, perforans and gardneri) examining their influence certain quality parameters pepper seed collected from territory Smederevska Palanka (Serbia). analysis included 27 non-commercial genotypes (including chili sweet pepper) in 2021. Several analyzed (germination energy, total germinat...

Early seedling emergence can increase plant fitness under competition. Seed oil composition (the types and relative amounts of fatty acids in the oils) may play an important role in determining emergence timing and early growth rate in oilseeds. Saturated fatty acids provide more energy per carbon atom than unsaturated fatty acids but have substantially higher melting points (when chain length ...

introduction proteins are one of the basic and essential required compounds for life, and the creatures receive it either from a plant or animal origin. it has been reported that the positive effects caused by applying the magnetic field are due to the paramagnetic properties of the cells within the plant, and pigments such as the chloroplast. biophysical methods (magnetic fields, electricity, ...

Food production needs to increase to satisfy the demand due to increasing human population worldwide. To minimize this food crisis, an increase in the rice production is necessary in many countries. The current study was undertaken to evaluate the impact of Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment on rice (Oryza sativa) for its growth-germination of seedling, glutathione (GSH) content in seedlin...

OBJECTIVE To measure biologic effects of music, noise, and healing energy without human preferences or placebo effects using seed germination as an objective biomarker. METHODS A series of five experiments were performed utilizing okra and zucchini seeds germinated in acoustically shielded, thermally insulated, dark, humid growth chambers. Conditions compared were an untreated control, musica...
