The maintenance of seed quality during the long-term conservation plant genetic resources is crucial for averting projected food crises that are linked to changing climate and rising world population. However, ageing-induced loss vigour viability storage remains an inevitable process compromises productivity in several orthodox-seeded crop species. Seed ageing under prolonged storage, which can...

Winter wheat is one of the most important crops globally and also in Hungary. Hungary has excellent crop production potential including seed production. The aim our experiment to determine effects different amounts proportions nutrients those size winter laboratory tests on parameters (germination percentage, germination power, seedling health vigour), as well field (emergence percentage yield ...

Spelt (Triticum spelta L.) has been increasingly attracting producers due to the biological properties and chemical composition of its seeds. As high-quality seeds are necessary for successful production, vigour organically conventionally produced spelt studied results presented in this paper. The variety Nirvana by both methods at Maize Research Institute ?Zemun Polje? 2015 were observed. Acco...

This study examined the impact of night shift on six dimensions of mood. The efficacy of a range of personality, behavioural, and social/organizational predictors of these responses was also examined. Thirty-five female student nurses were studied during their first period of night work. ANOVAs indicated that only fatigue-inertia and vigour-activity were significantly affected by night work. Mu...
