Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the expression analysis of genes
involved in drought tolerance and the use of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) to mitigate …

Seed germination, a physiological process, experiences large deviations based on
temperature and water potential. Each factor can, separately or jointly, affect the germination …

The response of seed germination to environmental factors can be estimated by nonlinear
regression. The present study was performed to compare four nonlinear regression models …

This study was carried out to determine the effect of moisture content on several handling
and bulk properties of two varieties of chickpea seeds, Arman and Hashem. Five levels of …

Many studies have focused on the cardinal temperatures and thermal time requirements of
seed germination, but how seed size and color affect germination rate and thermal …

In order to determine the effect of temperature on germination response of fennel seeds, in
Petri-dishes, seeds of 3 varieties (Hamedan, Malayer and Isfahan) were exposed to 6 …

Poor seedling establishment in rice is one of the problems in Guilan province as the second
most important rice-growing locations in Iran. The aim of this study was to evaluate the …

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed aging (seed quality) on
germination, emergence and seedling growth of wheat under optimum (control) and …

Quantitative information about temperature effects on germination components in safflower
is scarce. The objective of this study was to describe the trend of cumulative germination at …
