Regulation of Seed Germination and the Role of Aquaporins under Abiotic Stress [PDF]

, 2017
Aquaporins play a major role in governing the movement of water between neighboring cells during seed germination and are major players in response to abiotic stress conditions that affect water availability. Seeds of pea (Pisum sativum L. cv.

Acorns containing deeper plumule survive better: how white oaks counter embryo excision by rodents [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2013
AbstractSeveral squirrel species excise the embryo of acorns of most white oak species to arrest germination for long‐term storage. However, it is not clear how these acorns counter embryo excision and survive in the arms race of coevolution. In this study, we simulated the embryo excision behavior of squirrels by removing 4 mm of cotyledon from the ...

Exopolysaccharide‐Based Microencapsulation of Plant Growth‐Promoting Bacillus Strains Improves Germination, Growth, and Yield of Chilean Common Bean Cultivars

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial biostimulants offer sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers in legume cultivation by enhancing seed germination, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience, while maintaining the yield. However, their practical application is often limited by weak shelf life and reduced viability under environmental conditions. In this study, we

Allelopathic Effects of some Crop Residues on the Germination and Growth of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp.) [PDF]

, 2009
The allelopathic effect of aqueous extracts from sorghum and rice husk on germination and growth of cowpea was investigated. The results showed that the extracts brought about considerable inhibition in the germination of cowpea seeds and in the growth ...

Ubiquitin‐like SUMO protease expansion in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract SUMOylation is a protein post‐translational modification that is essential for plant growth and response to changing environments. However, past work in this area has mainly focused on simple sequence similarity methods for discovering SUMOylation genes, often using orthologue mapping from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) or Arabidopsis ...

Proline, Total Antioxidant Capacity, and OsP5CS Gene Activity in Radical and Plumule of Rice are Efficient Drought Tolerance Indicator Traits

International Journal of Agronomy, 2020
The success of a plant breeding program is linked with the rapid screening of crop germplasm. In the following study, the germination stage of rice seeds has been examined for the rapid screening of drought-tolerant genotypes.

EFFECT OF DROUGHT STRESS AND ITS INTERACTION WITH ASCORBATE AND SALICYLIC ACID ON OKRA (Hibiscus esculents L.) GERMINATION AND SEEDLING GROWTH [PDF]

, 2011
Effect of drought stress was investigated at water potentials of-0.2 &-0.4 MPA (by using PEG 6000) on okra germination and seedling growth. In this study, percent germination, average time necessary for germination in day, radical and plumule length ...

Phenological description for the initial development stage of five Brazilian native forest species according to BBCH scale

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 2, Page 561-581, March 2026.
Morphology of the two main growth stages—germination and initial development of the forest species Ceiba speciosa (co, cotyledon; eo, eophyll; hp, hypocotyl; me, metaphyll; pk, prickles; pr, primary root; se, seed; sr, secondary root). Abstract A specific phenological scale designated for each forest species facilitates the standardization of different

Genome‐Wide Association Study and RNA Sequencing Identify Candidate Genes Regulating Nitrogen Use Efficiency and Associated Traits in Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a resilient cereal crop with remarkable adaptability to diverse environments. Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) is critical for improving sorghum yields, resource utilization, livelihood security, and environmental sustainability of the target ecologies.
