Precision seeders are crucial in modern agriculture as they directly affect agricultural productivity by ensuring the uniform distribution of seeds in the field. Any non-uniformity in seed distribution can lead to missed...

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is the most widely used plant growth regulator to thin out bunches and increase berry size in seedless table grapes, but there is evidence of its negative effects, including loss of fertility and m...

Smilax glabra, a perennial vine with high pharmaceutical value, exhibits seed dormancy under natural conditions that severely restricts artificial propagation and industrial-scale cultivation. This study aims to systemat...

Abstract Among oilseeds crops, Brassica napus L., is of great importance globally. The economic yield and harvest efficiency are significantly limited by seed shattering, which represents a persistent agronomic constrain...

Seed germination is severely constrained by soil salinity, limiting crop establishment in salt-affected agricultural lands. This study investigated whether seed priming with molybdenum nanoparticles (Mo NPs) enhances ger...

Abstract Background The seed microbiome plays a key role in the assembly of the plant microbiome, which has major impacts on plant health. Nonetheless, little is known about the origin of the seed microbiome. We investig...

Seed dispersal by vertebrate animals is important for the establishment of many fleshy-fruited plant species. Different frugivorous species can provide different seed dispersal services according to their specific dietar...

It is important to look for alternative substrates to replace non-renewable resources such as peat used in growing media in horticulture. The aim of this work was to evaluate if the compost of pear and apple pomace could...

ABSTRACT Pollen and seed dispersal patterns greatly influence the spatial distribution of plant genetic diversity. Microsatellite-based parentage analysis provides accurate estimates of contemporary gene dispersal. Altho...

Abstract The present study include callus initiation from leaves and stems explants of Vigna radiata seedlings by using solidified Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of Naphthalen...

Post-assembly modifications are efficient tools to adjust colloidal features of block copolymer (BCP) particles. However, existing methods often address particle shape, morphology, and chemical functionality individually...

Abstract The primary factors contributing to poor seed quality and lower rice yields are largely attributed to inadequate seed quality management strategies. The quality of rice seeds and productivity in the Fogera Plain...

Black seed (Nigella sativa L.) is an internationally important oil crop, field experiment was carried out at two locations in Erbil province, Kurdistan region-Iraq, at Grdarasha Research Field, Collage of Agricultural En...

Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds and color most flowers, fruits and seeds. The regulation of flavonoid biosynthetic genes is directed by ternary complexes composed of MYB-bHLH-WD40 transcription factors. DNA-binding...

A new method for pre-concentration/separation and determination of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) by solid-surface fluorescence (SSF) is proposed. The herbicide was complexed with Rhodamine B at pH 7.0 in the pre...

Anatomy and histochemistry of Cyperaceae fruits (including seeds) are poorly known due to their hard, isolating tissues that prevent anatomical techniques. We performed the first, most comprehensive structural diversity ...

Abstract In this study, the effects of grape seed flour on the physical-chemical properties, microbiological and sensory properties of Turkish dry fermented sausage, sucuk, was investigated. After the sausages produced w...

Accurate seed-yield prediction is essential for optimizing nitrogen (N) management in buffalograss seed production. However, current UAV-based approaches often rely directly on vegetation indices (VIs), which provide lim...

O mogno (Swietenia macrophylla King), pelo elevado valor comercial da sua madeira, é uma das espécies mais exploradas na Amazônia, sendo ameaçada de extinção por não haver renovação dos estoques através de refl...

Centrolobium robustum seed coat is made up of an external layer of macrosclereids and an internal layer of osteosclereids, followed by a layer of dead cells. The endosperm is closely united to the seed coat and is made u...

Global climate change presents challenges to arid and semi-arid ecosystems, impacting native species such as Neltuma caldenia, endemic to Argentina. This underscores the importance of understanding germination processes ...

This research aimed to explore the callogenesis, characterization, and antioxidant potential of Acacia nilotica callus and seed silver nanoparticles. The callus induction was accomplished using plant growth hormones. The...

O experimento foi realizado objetivando avaliar a composição tecidual e química do músculo Longissimus dorsi de cordeiros Suffolk alimentados em comedouros privativos com ração contendo 0; 6,60; 13,20 ou 19,80% de ...

IntroductionVaginal seeding has been proposed to restore the microbiome of babies born via caesarean section, but the associated risk of infection is unknown. We present the first case of disseminated candidiasis after v...
