Allelopathy is a concept that applied in weed management to minimize extensively the reliance on herbicide agriculture. The allelopathic potential of Acalypha wilkesiana, Centrosema pubescens and Phyllanthus amarus Amaranthus cruentus Corchorus olitorius were investigated. Different concentrations leaf aqueous extracts A. C. P. determine their effect under laboratory conditions. profiling phyto...

Aquaporins play a major role in governing the movement of water between neighboring cells during seed germination and are major players in response to abiotic stress conditions that affect water availability. Seeds of pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Arkel) were used for studying cell growth, expression and function of aquaporins during seed imbibition, radicle emergence and growth.Water channel funct...

one of the important issues in the arid and semi-arid regions is the water deficit and soil salinity. therefore, selecting tolerant species to salinity and drought especially in seed germination and emergence stage is important. in the present study the effects of drought and salt stress on seed germination of vetch (vicia villosa l.) which is palatable forage was investigated. the germination ...

Indigofera gozoll agribun is a legume tree plant that has high nutritional quality as animal feed. However, it still problem with the low seed quality. This study aimed to evaluate relationship between pod length and of seeds. research was designed in completely randomized design five treatments size four replications, namely: P1 (3.5 cm), P2 (4 P3 (4.5 P4 (5 cm) P5 (5.5 cm). The parameters obs...

There has been some concern about using small seeds that may result from seed position on the ear or poor growing conditions for seeding hybrid maize. This study was designed to investigate the effect of seeding three commercial maize crosses (Single Cross 2010, Three-Way Cross 310 and Three-Way Cross 321) with three seed sizes (large, medium and small) under seven salinity levels of irrigation...

Kelussia odoratissima Mozaff. belonging to the Apiaceae family, is well known for its medicinal and nutritional importance, endemic to Iran. Seed dormancy is a major problem present in Kelussia odoratissima leading to low germination percentage; thus, improvement of seed germination and breaking seed dormancy is important. Piriformospora indica, a root-colonizing endo...

in order to study the response of coriander medicinal plant to salt stress, two experiments were conducted for germination and vegetative stages. this study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. the treatments were salinity at five concentrations including 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mm nacl. response of coriander seeds germination in...
