Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparative Effects of Drought and Salt Stress on Germination and Seedling Growth of Pennisetum divisum (Gmel.) Henr.Wafa’a A. Al-TaisanProblem statement: Water stress due to drought and salinity is probably the most significant abiotic factor limiting plant and also crop growth and development. Salinity and drought stresses are physiologically related, because both induce osmotic stress and most of the metabolic responses of the affected plants are similar to some extent. Water deficit affects the germination of seed and the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 27,311 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMechanical 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 abstractSeed Treatment-Based Biocontrol of Tomato Damping off Using Plant Essential Oil and Green Silver NanoparticlesLaila Reklaoui, Zine El Abidine Bzazou Elouazzani, El Touhami Tayebi Ouazzani et al.The fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia solani is a major causal agent of damping-off in tomato plants, leading to severe yield losses worldwide. Conventional fungicides, while effective, raise concerns regarding environmental safety and human health, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable alternatives. In this study, we report for the first time the use of Origanum compactum essential oil to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2026 · 1,298 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSalt Tolerance and Cultivation Challenges of Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis): A ReviewHeba Allah Adel MohassebJojoba is considered to be salt tolerant, but little is known about the extent of its tolerance and the relative influence on ion uptake and ethylene production and other factors are affecting the mode of actions of jojoba salt tolerant. According to many research has done before including our article about the glyoxalase I gene from jojoba which exhibits moderate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2025 · 3,314 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing 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 abstractInfluence of Biological Preparations on Germination, Growth, and Development of Alfalfa of the Kokshe Variety in the Hill and Plain Zone of the Akmola Region of KazakhstanArman Kalin, Ualikhan Sagalbekov, Nina Kazydub et al.An important role in increasing the production of high-protein feed in the steppe zone belongs to leguminous grasses, such as alfalfa, sainfoin, and melilot. The value of perennial grasses, including alfalfa, is not only in providing high-protein feeds and their productivity in the sharply continental climate of Northern Kazakhstan, but it also has great importance in increasing soil fertility.

Zhumataуeva, Bakhytzhan A. Duissembekov, Yerlan Dutbayev et al.The purpose of the study was to perform genetic identification of the strains of fungi of the Beauveria genus and evaluate the effect of abiotic factors on the growth and survival of colonies and the productivity of conidia of these fungi, as well as to determine the biological effectiveness of the semi-preparative form of the drug based on Beauveria bassiana … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2022 · 5,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGermination Study and Monitoring in the Nursery of Young Seedlings of Garcinia mangostana L.Haba Jean Florent, Dembele Ardjouma, Koffi Kouao Jean et al.Mangosteen tree (Garcinia mangostana L.) is a plant of the Clusiaceae family cultivated for its particular taste and for its excellent medicinal properties. However, the vegetative propagation of the plant by cuttings or grafting being difficult to achieve, seed germination remains the main means of production used. This study was therefore initiated with the aim of determining the influence of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 23 Sep 2021 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
