The low seed germination response and seedling growth of crops to salinity is common problem in Pakistan. To overcome this problem,seed priming used as an economic effective approach. Present study was conducted evaluate the effects halopriming ofseeds on germination, yield tomato under saline conditions. seeds variety ‘Raja’ were primed with 0, 50mM 100mM NH4NO3, KNO3, (NH4)2SO4 solutions for ...

Seed germination is the stage in which plants are most sensitive to abiotic stress, including salt stress (SS). SS affects plant growth and performance through ion toxicity, decreasing seed percentage increasing time. Several priming treatments were used enhance under SS. The objectives of this study (1) identify shorten emergence period, (2) evaluate against SS, (3) induce synchronized germina...

Introduction Sunflower seed is one of the most commonly consumed snacks in our country. Sunflower seeds are not only eaten as snacks but also are used as ingredients of breads, mueslies and bars in recent years. Sunflower seed allergy is seen rarely in children and may be presented as angioedema or anaphylaxis. Respiratory allergies have been reported previously in adults owning birds fed on su...

Bottlebrush squirreltail [Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey = Sitanion hystrix (Nutt.) J. G. Smith] and big squirrel-tail [Elymus multisetus (J. G. Smith) M. E. Jones = Sitanion jubatum (J. G. Smith)] have a broad geographical distribution and have been identified as high priority species for restoration of degraded rangelands in the western United States. These rangelands exhibit high annual and ...

Seed vigor is an important trait for tobacco production. However, the evaluation of seed using molecular biomarkers scarcely reported in tobacco. In this study, development marker isopropylmalate synthase NtIPMS was conducted to detect ageing degree and priming effect Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis showed that expression significantly induced at initial imbibition stage during ge...
