Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleEffect of Physical Treatments on the Promotion of Seed Germination in Green and Giant FoxtailsInagaki Hidehiro, Sakakibara TakumiThe difficulty of breaking seed dormancy in Setaria (foxtail) species presents a problem in using them as model plants. In the present study, we observed the structure of the seed coat surface of two Setaria species, the green foxtail (Setaria viridis) and the giant foxtail (Setaria faberi), using an electron microscope. In addition, we tested the effects of physical treatment … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 25 Nov 2020 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite

The aim of the research is to study and to prove the effective way of presowing treatment of … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 17 Jun 2017 · 7,241 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase 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 accessPhrase 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 accessPhrase 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”. Two treatments are chosen (substrate containing 100% and 50% of soil taken from municipal … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 6 · 12 Apr 2017 · 7,499 accessesView PDFCite
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
