Xenia is the immediate effect of pollen on seed development after pollination. This study was conducted to investigate xenia’s effects Fe and Zn concentration in self- open-pollinated maize seeds. Eighteen hybrids derived from parents with varying concentrations were planted at Potchefstroom, Cedara Vaalharts South Africa for two seasons, 2017 2018. Open- self-pollinated seeds compared. Self-po...

effect of free and symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria on seed and seedling produced seeds under deficit irrigation was conducted in laboratory and field experiments in 2006. in laboratory of karaj’s seed and plant research and certificate institute an experiment was conducted based on factorial in form of completely randomized design with four replications and in field’s of islamic azad univers...

Seed germination in Ludwigia was greatly influenced by seed age and soil type. In Ludwigia abyssinica germination was not influenced by seed age and soil texture. Freshly shed seeds and six month old seeds of Ludwigia decurrens variety B showed a very low percentage germination on all the germination media, and six month old seeds germinated significantly earlier than freshly shed seeds. Some s...

Birds are important seed dispersers for fleshy fruits through their transportation of ingested seeds. The seeds of many species germinate faster and in greater proportions after passing through a digestive tract, although the effects of this passage vary amongst bird and plant species. Many factors determine the germination success of ingested seeds, such as seed scarification during the digest...

Raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), which include raffinose and stachyose, are thought to be an important source of energy during seed germination. In contrast to their potential for promoting germination, RFOs represent anti-nutritional units for monogastric animals when consumed as a component of feed. The exact role for RFOs during soybean seed development and germination has not been ...

Seed heteromorphism observed in many halophytes is an adaptive phenomenon toward high salinity. However, the relationship between heteromorphic seed germination and germination-related hormones under salt stress remains elusive. To gain an insight into this relationship, the roles of gibberellins (GAs) and abscisic acid (ABA) in regulating germination of Suaeda salsa dimorphic brown and black s...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The endangered leafless ghost orchid, Dendrophylax lindenii, one of the most renowned orchids in the world, is difficult to grow under artificial conditions. Published information on asymbiotic and symbiotic (co-culture with a mycobiont) seed germination, seedling anatomy and developmental morphology of this leafless orchid is completely lacking. This information is critical...

this research was carried out to investigate allelopathic effect of peganum harmala on seed germination of bromus tectorum. aboveground and underground tissues of peganum harmala in addition to its seeds were collected from bijar rangelands. collected materials of root, leaves, stem, seeds and a complex of mentioned parts were dried and powder. the research was performed at the greenhouse condi...
