Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMechanical Scarification and Sucrose Priming Overcome Physical Dormancy in Caesalpinia spinosa (Tara) Seeds from the Peruvian HighlandsWilfredo Ruiz-Camacho, Ítalo Maldonado Ramirez, Juan Eduardo Suarez Rivadeneira et al.Caesalpinia spinose (tara) is a leguminous tree native to the Peruvian Andes-Amazon region, valued for soil restoration and high tannin content. However, its large-scale propagation is constrained by physical seed dormancy caused by a hard and impermeable seed coat. This study evaluated six pre-germination treatments to break dormancy and enhance early seedling development under local agroclimatic conditions in Magdalena District, … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 12 Aug 2026 · 1,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEnhancing Drought Resistance in Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Through Chelated Zinc Seed Treatment: An Experimental StudyBekzak Amantayev, Gulden Kipshakbayeva, Arysgul Turbekova et al.Climate change-induced drought is a significant threat to global food security, particularly affecting wheat yields. Despite various strategies to enhance drought resistance in crops, the effectiveness of chelated Zinc (Zn) as a seed treatment agent remains underexplored, especially in the early stages of wheat ontogenesis. This study aims to fill this gap by evaluating the effectiveness of zinc as a … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 26 Sep 2024 · 4,414 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFlavonoids and Antimicrobial Properties of Begonia fischeri var. palustris in vitro PlantletsEvgeniya A. Karpova, Alexandra Yu. Nabieva, Tatiana D. Fershalova et al.The objective of this study was to design a protocol of the successful establishment of plants of Begonia fischeri var. palustris obtained in the in vitro seeds culture, to evaluate flavonoid content and antimicrobial properties of in vitro plantlets. The significant increase of percentage of seed germination (92.5%) was recorded in the half strength MS medium and 1% agar medium … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2019 · 7,649 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNew Approach to Study Stimulating Effect of the Pre-Sowing Barley Seeds Treatment in the Electromagnetic FieldAliya S. Kasakova, Igor V. Yudaev, Michael G. Fedorishchenko et al.Improvement of the agricultural crops seeds quality with their pre-sowing treatment in the electromagnetic field and the subsequent increase in grain yield and studying the mechanisms of stimulating effects – all those are the important problems of science and practice of the crop-growing sector. The purpose of the presented research was to study the mechanism for increasing the germinating ability … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 7,346 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsSoil Quality of Die off and Die Back Mangrove Grown at Al-Jubail Area (Saudi Arabia) of the Arabian GulfAkram Ali, Ahmed Alfarhan, Ernest Robinson, Wafa AltesanThe declining mangrove vegetation along the Arabian Gulf coast necessitates a thorough study for finding out the soil status and for rehabilitating the affected population. In this study, soil supporting die back/die off mangrove plants at Al-Jubail area was studied. Field experiments were also conducted to determine the success/failure ratio of the germinated seeds in both healthy and damaged soils. … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,617 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsStudy of the Allelopathic Potential of Extracts of Azadirachta Indica (Neem)Zoheir Y. Ashrafi, Aptin Rahnavard, Sedigheh Sadeghi et al.The allelopathic potential of extracts of Azadirachta indica L., which is one of the most dominant weeds in tropical regions of South-west Asia, was investigated under laboratory conditions. The n-hexane-soluble, acetone-soluble and water-soluble fractions obtained from the acetone extract of A. indica shoots inhibited the germination and the growth of roots and shoots of six test plant species.
