Priming is an effective method to improve seed viability that might be resulted to increase of seed germination percent and germination rate under stress conditions, such as drought stress. So, in this research the effect of seed priming on seed germination characteristics of safflower were evaluated under drought stress. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design (CRD) with t...

Micronutrients play a great role in the production of high quality seeds, especially in terms of germination. Therefore, providing seeds with sufficient amounts of these is an important consideration in seed production. The present study was conducted as two separate experiments in the Seed Laboratory of Yasouj University in 2015. In the first experiment, the sesame seeds (cv. Darab 1) obtained...
