Functional traits can explain coordinated seedling responses to drought and freezing stress

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 9, Page 2861-2875, September 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Limited plant establishment creates demographic bottlenecks that can alter vegetation trajectories in changing environments, yet it is unclear how common eco‐evolutionary indicators of plant strategy shape early response to key stressors.

Effect of salt stress on germination and early growth of Haloxylon persicum seedling [PDF]

open access: yesمجله جنگل ایران, 2015
Fast germination in Haloxylon persicum is considered as an adaptation strategy to salty and drought areas, so that, if enough moisture is prepared for the seeds in a short period, the seeds can germinate and establish very fast.

Innovative Emerging Technologies for Pulse Flour Functionalization: A Comparison With Conventional Thermal and Biological Techniques

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pulse flours, such as those from peas, beans, and chickpeas, are highly valued for their nutritional density, making them essential for meeting the rising global demand for plant‐based and gluten‐free foods. Despite these nutritional advantages, industrial use is limited by specific sensorial, nutritional, and technological constraints ...

Combined NMR and MRI Assessment of Water Status and Migration in Quercus texana Seeds During Dehydration

open access: yesPlants
Quercus texana seeds are recalcitrant and thus highly sensitive to desiccation, which makes storage difficult. For practical seed handling, it is important to define their safe water content and to understand how water is distributed during dehydration ...

Selecting for Seed Size Diversity Can Support a Variety of Plant Colonization Strategies in Caatinga Restoration

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Seed traits offer valuable insights into colonization strategies under climatic unpredictability. In seasonally dry tropical forests, such traits help explain species adaptations to water availability, which is critical for effective restoration.

Chemical Control of Phytophthora sojae: Sensitivity of Isolates and Effects on Soybean Seed Germination and Seed Rot

open access: yesJournal of Phytopathology, Volume 174, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete responsible for causing seedling damping‐off and root and stem rot in soybean. Seed treatment with chemical products is one of the management strategies that can be used to control the disease. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the in vitro sensitivity of P.

Nitric Oxide and Phytohormone Crosstalk Mediates Soybean Growth and Defence Against Aphis glycines

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aphid infestation, particularly by Aphis glycines, poses a major threat to soybean (Glycine max) production, necessitating sustainable defence strategies. This study evaluated the role of nitric oxide (NO) donor S‐nitrosocysteine (CySNO) in enhancing soybean resistance to aphids through hormonal crosstalk.

Effects of copper root pruning and radicle pruning on first-season field growth and nutrient status of Chinese cork oak seedlings

open access: yes, 2016
© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht. Root deformation is a common challenge in container seedlings especially for vigorous-rooted tree species. The issue is significant for Chinese cork oak (Quercus variabilis Blume.) which is grown in cost-

The E2 ubiquitin‐conjugating enzymes OsUBC11 and OsUBC12 promote rice seed germination by ubiquitinating and destabilizing OsABI3 in the ABA signaling pathway

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY The ubiquitin‐conjugating enzymes (E2) play critical roles in plant stress responses and development, but their functions in ABA‐mediated seed germination in rice remain largely unknown. We identified two homologous E2 enzymes, OsUBC11 and OsUBC12, which are highly expressed in rice seeds and induced by multiple abiotic stresses including salt,

A Study into the Effects of Salt Stress on Germination Components of Different Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Cultivars

open access: yesپژوهش‌های بذر ایران, 2018
In order to study the effects of different levels of salinity on germination components of wheat cultivars, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three replications. Experimental factors were wheat cultivars at
