Deterioration of seeds is an important problem leading to low germination and uneven crop establishment causing poor growth productivity. Soil salinity another factor limiting cultivation. Spermidine (Spd) a compound widely reported for diminishing adverse effects salt stress in plants. In this study, the Spd priming on normal deteriorated rice were investigated under during young seedling stag...

welsh onion (allium fistulosum l.) is one of the important vegetable crops in china. however, the seeds of this crop are short-lived and their vitality tends to be easily lost in the course of storage. the present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of welsh onion seed priming with potassium nitrate (kno3) on seed vigor and on other such related mechanisms during twelve months of stora...

Background: Blackgram (Vignam ungo L.) is one of the most important legume crops, grown all around world. It used as a vegetable, feed, food and fodder purpose. has lower germination production because its hard outer covering. To improve seedling vigour, priming alters physiological state seed. This change may uniformity, increasing seed vigour or physiology. Primed seeds generate seedlings tha...

Low temperature during germination hinders speed and early seedling development. Zn seed priming is a useful cost-effective tool to improve rate resistance low stress Spinach was tested development with under conditions. increased concentration up 48 times. The multispectral imaging technique VideometerLab used as non-destructive method differentiate unprimed, water- Zn-primed spinach seeds suc...

Effects of hormonal priming with abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), or ascorbic acid on wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Auqab 2000) germination and seedling growth under normal (4 dS/ cm) and saline (15 dS/ cm) conditions were studied to determine their usefulness in increasing relative salt-tolerance. During germination test, most of treatments were effective in improving germination and s...

During the past decades, agro-biodiversity has markedly declined and some species are close to extinction in large parts of Europe. Reintroduction of rare arable plant species in suitable habitats could counteract this negative trend. The study investigates optimal sowing rates of three endangered species (Legousia speculum-veneris (L.) Chaix, Consolida regalis Gray, and Lithospermum arvense L....

poor wheat stand establishment is a major cause of yield loss, particularly in rainfed and poorly irrigated environments. seeds of eight wheat cultivars (triticum aestivum l.) including irrigated and rainfed varieties, belonging to three different climates of iran (hamedan as cold, karaj as temperate and sarpolzohab as warm climates) were primed using osmoprimig treatments through use of urea ,...
