Annual Sainfoin (Onobrychis crista-galli (L.) Lam.) is widely adapted to moderate and cold regions of Iran and naturally grows in pasture and rangelands used for forage in these areas. In order to study the effects of priming on seed germination and seedling growth in O. crista-galli, two factorial experiments were conducted based on a randomized complete design with three replications under la...

priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increased seed performance (germination and emergence). the objective of this research was to evaluate effect of priming on seed emergence and yield under wide ranges sowing dates in cotton. treatments were combinations of 6 sowing dates and 2 seed treatments (control and primed seeds). hydropriming method was used; seeds ...

The natural populations of East Indian sandalwood (Santalum album L.) are very confined and facing a drastic decline over the past three decades due to overexploitation. Santalum L. seeds, in general, have poor staggered germination, which is major constraint raising seedlings nursery establishing plantations. In present investigation, we studied impact hydro- osmopriming on germination attribu...

In this study, we assessed the effect of hydropriming and light quality treatments on antioxidant activity bioactive compounds in Brassica oleracea var. capitate sprouts. B. seeds were soaked distilled water treated with different wavelengths or complete darkness for 24 h at 20 ± 1°C. Subsequently, dried h, sown sprouting trays, then incubated seven days 25 2°C under a 16/8 light/dark photoperi...

Drought, salinization and heavy metal pollution of soils are main stress factors with an increasing impact on the deterioration soil quality, yield crop quality. Seed priming shows good results in improving seed germination, seedling growth plant development. Proline (Pro) metyl jasmonate (MeJA) show stimulating activity help plants overcome stress. The study investigated effect Pro, MeJA hydro...

Manganese is an important essential micronutrient, and its deficiency causes latent health issues in humans. Agronomic biofortification can promisingly improve the plant nutrient concentration without changing genetic makeup of plants. This study was designed to assess best method Mn application enhance productivity grain contents under conventional tillage (CT) no (NT) systems. delivered throu...

Temperature is a key factor influencing plant growth and productivity; however, temperature fluctuations can cause detrimental effects on crop growth. This study aimed to assess the effect of seed priming Camelina sativa L. under heat stress. Experimental treatments were comprised of; including, no-priming, hydropriming (distilled water priming), osmopriming (thiourea applications at 500 ppm), ...
