For this purpose, seed lots of mustard visually inspected in terms of color and then the seed were divided to coat color yellow and black. The yellow seeds were more resistance to salinity stress than black ones.

indicated that germination of seeds was inhibited by cadmium as compared to control. In addition number of leaves, plant height, plant height above cotyledon leaves and root length were clearly shortened when the concentration of cadmium exceeded. Generally...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of hydropriming and osmopriming on germination rate, percentage of, root–shoot length and root–shoot weight of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) seeds. Priming was done by: hydropriming...

Consistent rankings in mean just germination time (MJGT), when the radicle first appears and mean germination

time (MGT; 2mm radicle) were seen in three laboratories among seven lots of maize. Both measures of

germination rate (MJGT...

Previous work on maize and other crops has indicated that measurements of mean germination time (MGT),

the reciprocal of which is the rate of germination, is a possible alternative assessment of vigour to the cold

test. Emergence...

Seeds of six soyabean cultivars were germinated between paper towels moistened with range of solutions of both NACl and PEG...
