In vitro pollen germination was examined as a method to determine the mutagenic and physiological effects of environmental pollutants on higher organisms. Results were presented indicating that mutations could be distinguished by their in vitro germination characteristics if sporophytes homozygous for the mutated allele were tested. The addition of agents directly into the in vitro medium was s...

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...

Rice cold tolerance at the germination stage is important in Rio Grande do Sul (RS) where temperatures below 15°C prevent or reduce germination and plant establishment in early sowings. The present study aimed at identifying an adequate method for cold tolerance evaluation of the rice germination stage and at verifying the variability among 24 rice genotypes of different origins. Cold tolerance...

abstract this experiment, conducted to examine the effects of temperature and photoperiod on seed germination of watergrass (echinochlo aoryzoides) as a new-introduced and barnyardgrass (e. crus-galli) as a common weed species in rice fields of guilan province. this study was consisted of two separate experiments. at the first study, germination responses of two species to different temperature...

response of seed germination of a crop to different environmental conditions is one of the most important determination factors to indicate its ability in competition with weeds. in order to evaluate the effects of water depth and temperature on the germination of different varieties of rice and barnyard grass, an experiment was conducted in the seed laboratory, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi...

considering forage grass species, germination is one of the important stagesconcerning the growing stage that is often influenced by environmental stresses,particularly salinity and drought stresses. thus, this study aims to assess the effects ofsalinity and drought stresses on germination characteristics and seedling growth of desertwheatgrass, agropyron desertorum (fisch. ex link) schult. in ...

the present study was aimed to investigate the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-tio 2 ) on wheat ( triticumaestivum l.) plants cv. parsi. the experimental treatments included seven concentrations of nano- tio 2 (10, 100, 1000, 1200, 1500 and 1700 ppm nano-tio 2 and control (without any tio 2 ). the results showed that among the wheat germination indices, germination rate and weig...

drought and salinity are two important environmental stresses limiting the crop production. in order to study the influence of drought and salinity stresses on germination characteristics of marshmallow plant seeds, two separate experiments were conducted based on completely randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions. drought stress levels were 0, -2, -4, -6 and -8 bar in...
