Abstract In this research, Sesame (Sesamum indicum L var. shevin) seed germination
characteristics under drought stress conditions influenced by different seed priming …

In order to study the effect of priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame under
salinity stress, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design in …

Seed priming methods have been used to increase germination characteristics under stress
conditions. The effects of salinity stress (0,-4,-8,-12 bar) and halopriming (-11 bar NaCl for …

Seed priming is a pre-germination physiological treatment of seeds with natural or synthetic
compounds which provides faster and synchronized germination. In the present research …

Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.; Pedaliaceae) is one of the oldest oil seed crops grown
widely in tropical and subtropical areas for its edible oil, proteins, vitamins, and amino acids …

Water deficient and salinity are the important problems in arid and semi arid areas.
Germination is the critical stage in plant development. In order to evaluation of sesame …

Results: The results of analysis of variance showed the significance of the effect of different
salinity levels, genotype and the interaction of salinity and genotype for all calculated indices …

Effect of seed priming on germination and seedling growth of sesame investigated under
controlled conditions. The primed seeds with ZnSO4 had the maximum germination …

Background and objectives: Alkalinity stress caused by the alkaline salts such as Na2CO3
or NaHCO3 in the soil. Alkaline stress affected germination, growth and crop productivity …

High salinity and drought are common environmental problems affecting seed germination
and plant growth especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is …
