Soil moisture is one of the most important determinants of plant’s seed germination, emergence and finally yield formation in arid and semi-arid zone (e.g. IRAN). In such a situation, the selection of a cultivar resistant to drought is the most important task. In this regard, a research at three levels (Farm, Greenhouse, Laboratorial) was conducted to study 10 genotypes with three improved back...

Extended abstract Introduction: Germination speed is one of the most important germination indices, which is used in the most studies to compare the effects of different treatments on germination of seeds. Researchers use the reverse time to 50% maximum germination (1/D50) to calculate the germination rate. One of the methods for calculating the D50 is the use of nonlinear regression models s...

Extended abstract Introduction: Today, various technologies have been developed to improve seed quality with the aim of increasing the percentage, speed and uniformity of germination and better seedling establishment under different environmental conditions. One of these technologies is seed pre-treatment or seed priming. In this regard, some studies confirmed that pre-treatment of seeds with ...

One of the important strategies for increasing germination speed and germination percentage, to produce high-quality seedling and plant optimal establishment is seed priming. In order to evaluate reactions of a lentil seed to priming duration and concentrations of the applied material as priming, a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications was done in ...
