Germination and seedling growth of major cereals treated with Moringa oleifera leaf extracts was investigate at University of Zambia. Aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera at the ratio of 1:10 (w/v) were sprayed on seed of maize (Zea mays. L.), rice (Oryzae sativa.L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor. L.) and wheat (Triticum Aestivum. L.) in a growth room at 25C for 14 days. The data were subjected to a...

to study allelopathic effects of iranian walnut (juglans regia l.) on germination and initial growth of purslane (portulaca oleracea) and redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus) an experiment was conducted in shahed university. the result showed that fresh leaf had negatively effected on radicle length. also, with increasing extract concentrations of persian walnut, the seed germination and se...

salinity is one of the important factors that reduce the growth and yield of crops in iran; however, determining appropriate methods for reducing its negative effects is important. in order to study the effects of nutritional condition of mother plant and bacterial biofertilizers seed priming on germination indices of wheat (triticum aestivum l.), in salinity condition, an experiment was conduc...

During germination, the embryo axis elongates and the radicle emerges through the surrounding structures of the seed. However, this elongation is not even along the axis, and it has been suggested that the region responsible for radicle protrusion is related to the type of subsequent seedling establishment. Eleven epigeal- and five hypogeal-type species were selected to study endoreduplication,...

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) increase the germination percentage and vigor of seeds, thus determining aspects for efficient production seedlings prompt establishment crops in field. In this study, effect biopriming was evaluated: Bacillus cereus (KBEndo4P6), Acinetobacter radioresistens (KBEndo3P1), Pseudomonas paralactis (KBEndo6P7), Sinorhizobium meliloti (KBEkto9P6) on some pa...

Magnetic field  improved germination parameters. The germination of Catharanthus roseus seeds is lost under salinity conditions. The effect of different strengths of magnetic field and exposure durations on the germination of C. roseus seeds under salinity conditions (19 mS cm-1) were investigated. The experiment was conducted  with factorial arrangement based on a completely randomized design ...

the purpose of this study was to examine the evaluating the potential of seed priming techniques in improving germination and early seedling growth of aeluropus macrostachys under salinity stress condition. this study was performed at the islamic azad university in baft city which is located in southeast of kerman province (2250 meters above the sea level, 92º 17 n latitude and 56º 36 e longitu...
