Subject:
vigor,   etc   ; oilseeds; viability;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... Seed deterioration is the loss of quality, viability and vigour either due to ageing or effect of adverse environmental factors. The process of deterioration is an irresistible physiological phenomenon. The seeds which are stored under suitable conditions may sometime undergo a series of changes which can ultimately result in the deterioration of the quality of the seed. Hence a thorough study sho ...

Abstract:
... The ability to maintain health, or recover to a healthy state after disease, is an active process involving distinct adaptation mechanisms coordinating interactions between all physiological systems of an organism. Studies over the past several decades have assumed the mechanisms of health and disease are essentially inter-changeable, focusing on the elucidation of the mechanisms of disease pathog ...

Abstract:
... Seed raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) are converted into sucrose and galactose by α-galactosidase during germination. Seed osmopriming with a low concentration of potassium nitrate (KNO₃) induces early and synchronized germination by activating hydrolases. Here, we report the effect of osmopriming on the germination indices of chickpea, its effects on α-galactosidase, and the fate of total ...

Abstract:
... Direct planting – in which small storage roots are planted instead of transplanting stem cuttings – has been studied as a labor-saving system in sweet potato. Early vigor is important for cultivars used in direct planting because it affects their ability to compete with weeds. In this study, the genotypic difference in early vigor was evaluated. Twelve genotypes were tested in 2018 and 2019. Days ...
