Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Bruchid Beetles (Burchidius Arabicus Decelle) Infestation on the Germination of Acacia tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne) SeedsM. Al Jabr AhmedThe role of bruchid beetle infestation on seed germination of Acacia tortilis (Forssk.) Hayne) Mimosaceae under different incubation temperatures and degrees of scarification was studied under controlled conditions. Results indicate that seed germination was highest (96%) in scarified seeds at 25-35°C incubation temperature, whereas, it was only 28% in intact seeds. Seeds infected by bruchid beetles with one or two … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Aug 2008 · 7,296 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleChanges in Erucic Acid Concentration of Rape Seeds in Advanced GenerationsSelim Aytaç, Şahin Gizlenci, Mustafa Acar, Ali ÜstünThis study was carried out to determine the extend of changes in erucic acid concentration of rapeseeds which were grown in Carsamba and Bafra Plains of Central Blacksea Region. In addition to field experiments, the same experiment was conducted in the greenhouse to avoid polen transfer from other sources. The first material used was 00 type rapeseed cultivars. In order … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,626 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRecovery and Germination of Grass Seeds Ingested by CattleFerhat GökbulakSeeds of bluebunch wheatgrass [Psuedoroegneria spicata (Pursh) A. Love] and Sandberg bluegrass (Poa secunda Presl.) were fed to Holstein heifers in different amounts to investigate the effects of seed feeding level and seed size on the recovery and germinability of passed seed. Animals were fed 60,000, 30,000,15,000, and 7,500 seeds of each species. Passed seeds were recovered from dungcollected daily … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,752 accessesView PDFCite
