For a successful germination and plant growth, seeds must germinate at the right time. Seeds must become nondormant and must fulfill the seed germination requirements. These requirements include light/dark, moisture, temperature, and other environmen...
Carignan is a black grape cultivar widely planted throughout the western Mediterranean Basin. The grape faces significant viticultural hazards such as soil salinization, which affects about 6% of the world’s total land area. The search for salt...
Seed production in Pinus pinaster Aiton is not usually considered a limiting factor for natural regeneration; instead, seed weight is a more limiting factor in successful pine recruitment. Divergent relationships between seed weight and germination r...
Earlier studies have considered the separate effects of temperature and gibberellic acid (GA3) on plants and seeds. However, the combined effects of these factors on parent plants and their progeny have received little attention. We investigated the...
Lobularia maritima or sweet alyssum (Brassicaceae) is an annual littoral halophyte, naturally thriving on sandy beaches. In addition to its obvious interest as a naturally salt-tolerant plant, this species is mainly cultivated as an ornamental plant...
Salinity is a dominant obstacle to the proper germination of seeds, growth of seedlings, and, consequently, the production of crops. The priming of seeds with different treating agents can efficiently impart salinity tolerance. Kidney bean is a nutri...
Seed germination is the stage in which plants are most sensitive to abiotic stress, including salt stress (SS). SS affects plant growth and performance through ion toxicity, decreasing seed germination percentage and increasing the germination time....
