Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDurum Wheat Seed Germination Response to Hydrogel Coatings and Moisture under Drought StressMaya Hotta, James Kennedy, Clement Higginbotham, Noreen MorrisTechnologies that can increase crop production while maintaining low pollution are essential for sustainable agriculture. This study compares the germination performance of Durum wheat seeds (Triticum durum Desf.) which were coated with synthetic coatings [polyacrylamide (PA)] and novel natural coatings [mixtures of agar/ι-carrageenan (AC)] at different moisture levels. A number of germination performance indicators were measured for each of the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 2 May 2016 · 8,423 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of MgCl2 on Germination, Growth and Biomass Allocation of the Radish CV. "Cherry Belle"William Brandenburg, Catherine KleierProblem statement: To determine the effect of MgCl2 on radish (Raphanus sativus), plants were grown in controlled environmental growth chambers and given one of three watering treatments; 0.01, 0.1 and 0 M (control) MgCl2. Approach: At high concentrations (0.1 M), MgCl2 was toxic resulting in very low (44%) germination rates and the subsequent death of all but three undersized plants … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 8,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGermination Time Dependence of Bioactive Compounds and Antioxidant Activity in Germinated Rough Rice (Oryza sativa L.)Anuchita Moongngarm, Ekkalak KhomphiphatkulProblem statement: Germinated rice has been recognized as a functional food and its health benefits. However, most related studies were on germinated brown rice but our previous study indicated that germination of rough rice was an effective method to obtain high concentrations of bioactive compounds. Germination time is one of the most important factors affecting the level of biochemical compositions … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2011 · 8,663 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGermination Ecology of Rhanterium epapposum Oliv.Sameeha Zaman, Shyamala Padmesh, Harby TawfiqProblem statement: Rhanterium epapposum, locally called Arfaj is the national flower of Kuwait. The current situation of Rhanterium epapposum is quite critical in most areas of Kuwait. In fact it has completely disappeared from most parts of the country due to a combination of overgrazing, collecting for firewood and off road driving. Approach: Rhanterium epapposum is an excellent species for … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Germination on γ-Oryzanol Content of Selected Sarawak Rice CultivarsSie-Cheong Kiing, Pang-Hung Yiu, Amartalingam Rajan, Sie-Chuong WongProblem statement: Rice is rich in complex carbohydrates and beneficial bioactive compounds such as γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), γ-oryzanol and vitamin. Several bioactive components are known to accumulate in rice during germination process. This study was to investigate the effect of germination process on γ-oryzanol levels in selected Sarawak local rice cultivars. Approach: Rice seeds were germinated for 4, 8, 12, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSeed Germination and Seedling Survival of Spartina alterniflora LoiselPatrick D. Biber, John D. CaldwellSpartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) is a widespread intertidal salt marsh plant that is frequently used in coastal restoration projects. Seeds collected in 2004 were tested for seed germination and seedling survival after 6 months of cold seed storage to determine differences among collection locations (experiment 1). Seeds collected in 2005, after Hurricane Katrina, were tested for seed germination and seedling … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,704 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAllelopathic Potentialities of Gliricidia sepium and Acacia auriculiformis on the Germination and Seedling Vigour of Maize (Zea mays L.)M. B. OyunDecline in crop yield in cropping and agroforestry system in recent years has been attributed to allelopathic effects. Plants may favourably or adversely affect other plants through allelochemicals, which may be released directly or indirectly from live or dead plants. The objective of this study was to examine and quantify the nature of interference of leaf leachates of Gliricidia sepium … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2006 · 9,790 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEucalyptus Gomphocephala: Morphological Characterization and Seed Germination under Influence of Contaminated SoilOuled Seghaier Wided, Abbes Chaabane, Hasnaoui BrahimTo study the impact of soil pollution on plant growth, our work focused on soil polluted by heavy metals. This soil was taken from the municipal landfill of Jendouba (North of Tunisia). We have undertaken to study the morphological behavior of a forest specie “Eucalyptus gomphocephala”.
