Striga seed-germination activity of root exudates and compounds present in stems of Striga host and nonhost (trap crop) plants is reduced due to root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. [PDF]
Root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi reduces stimulation of seed germination of the plant parasite Striga (Orobanchaceae). This reduction can affect not only host plants for Striga, resulting in a lower parasite incidence, but also ...

The importance of stimulators in cultivating a non-traditional plant-indigofera Tinctoria L [PDF]
The article depicts the duration and norms of the use of various stimulants in the cultivation of the non-traditional leguminous plant Indigofera (Indigofera tinctoria L.) and its effect on seed yield, root and stem residues, and the amount of total ...

Drought is a multifaceted stress condition that inhibits crop growth. Seed germination is one of the critical and sensitive stages of plants, and its process is inhibited or even entirely prevented by drought. Polyamines (PAs) are closely associated with

Germination vigor is driven by the ability of the plant embryo, embedded within the seed, to resume its metabolic activity in a coordinated and sequential manner. Studies using “-omics” approaches support the finding that a main contributor of seed germination success is the quality of the messenger RNAs stored during embryo maturation on the mother ...

Breaking Seed Dormancy and Determining Cardinal Temperatures for Syrian Bean-Caper (Zygophyllum fabago L.) Using Regression Models [PDF]
Introduction Syrian bean-caper is one of the important weeds in orchards, especially pistachio orchards in Kerman. Seed germination is a critical event in determining the success of a weed species in an ecosystem and is regulated by several factors such ...

Proteomics of rice seed germination [PDF]
Seed is a condensed form of plant. Under suitable environmental conditions, it can resume the metabolic activity from physiological quiescent status, and mobilize the reserves, biosynthesize new proteins, regenerate organelles, and cell membrane, eventually protrude the radicle and enter into seedling establishment.

Look before planting: using smokewater as an inventory tool to predict the soil seed bank and inform ecological management and restoration [PDF]
This study tested the efficacy of smokewater to determine the potential germination from soil seed bank in three management sites of the same National Park: a forest site prior to restoration, an ex-pine plantation site and an ex-mine site.
