“…In this study, it was shown that germination rate, index, and speed were all significantly enhanced after IAA priming in Sorghum. These results are in consonancewith the previous research that seed priming by chemicals can facilitate seed germination (Espanany et al, 2016;Rahimi, 2013;Seyyedi et al, 2015). The study also revealed that IAA stimulator had an advantageouseffect on both the initial germination and the continued growth of Sorghum seedlings suggesting that IAA used as seed stimulator may increase stand formation and eventually promote plant production.…”

The commercial importance of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) has attracted breeders to increase its seed yield using various breeding approach. Adverse soil factors however hampered progress made in crop development, especially micronutrient toxicity. Plant growth stimulators (PGS) have a significant role in enhancing growth parameters in Sorghum. In the present study, seeds were primed in 50, 150, and 250 ppm of each of gibberellic acid, indole acetic acid, and ascorbic acid respectively for 1 hr before sowing in Petri dishesmoistened with 10 ml of the iron-rich solution obtained as filtrate from a mix of distilled water and ferruginous soil (1:1 v/w). Results showed that although germination percentage in ferruginous medium was significantly reduced, there was enhancement in germination percentagewhen the seeds were primed in gibberellic acid (GA). Germinability in the iron-rich medium was 31.2 hrs; this was significantly reduced to 19.6 to 21.1hrs when these seeds were primed with growth stimulators.Although, shoot length was significantly reduced in plants exposed to ferruginous solutions, the root parameters were however enhanced. They were no significant changes in the total number of root branches regardless of ferrugenic status or use of growth stimulating agents. The utilization of growth stimulators as priming agents is called for to reduce stress impacts imposed by ferruginous soils during germination.

“…The same trend in response to seed supplementation can be seen in Table 3, where the comparisons of means between lots and seed treatments show increases in germination count, germination, shoot length, root length, and total length of the seedlings, especially for the lots with lower nutrient contents. These increases were observed because nutrient availability is an important starting from the early stages of seedling development (Seyyedi, Khajeh-hosseini, Moghaddam, & Shahandeh, 2015). Mineral supplementation made the nutrients available quickly, which corroborates a similar study in which the nutrients P and K were provided through seed priming, thus increasing germination percentage and seedling emergence (Shah, Jalwat, Arif, & Miraj, 2012).…”

“…Similarly, it has higher concentrations of N and P. These elements play key roles in the germination process because accelerated rates of nutrient remobilization are necessary to provide N, P, and K for the formation of newly developing tissue in addition to acting directly during the enzymatic digestion of the reserves followed by their mobilization and transport (Abbasi, Tahir, Azam, Abbs, & Rahim, 2012). Accordingly, positive correlations were found among the germination percentage and vigor and P concentrations in the seeds (Seyyedi et al, 2015). Table 4.…”

Mineral supplementation of soybean seeds with different initial nutrient levels

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the chemical composition of soybean seeds and the efficiency of seed mineral supplementation on physiological quality and field performance. Two seed lots (high and low levels of mineral nutrition), with or without supplemental macro- and micronutrients, of three soybean cultivars (BMX Potência RR, BMX Turbo RR, and BMX Magna RR) were used. For the laboratory experiment, a completely randomized design with four replications was used. To evaluate the physiological quality of the seeds, the water content, first count, germination, 1,000-seed weight, and length and dry weight of the seedling were determined. For the field experiment, a randomized block design with four replications was used, and seedling emergence and grain yield were evaluated. Seeds with higher nutrient content produced seedlings of greater vigor and higher grain yield for all of the cultivars studied. The use of mineral supplementation in seed lots with low nutrient content resulted in greater vigor under laboratory conditions. The increase in grain yield after mineral supplementation depends on the quality of the seed lot.

“…Low water potential has adverse effects on germination and seedling growth [23]. It has been reported that heterotrophic seedling growth is influenced by the weight of mobilized seed reserve (MSR) and the conversion efficiency of mobilized (CEM) seed reserve to seedling [24][25][26]. The weight of MSR can be divided into initial seed dry weight (ISDW) and the fraction of seed reserve (FSR), which is mobilized (i.e., the seed depletion ratio).…”

“…The weight of MSR can be divided into initial seed dry weight (ISDW) and the fraction of seed reserve (FSR), which is mobilized (i.e., the seed depletion ratio). Some authors use these components to investigate the impacts of water and salinity stress on seedling growth [24,26]. Soltani et al [24] found that the most sensitive component of seedling growth (as affected by drought and salinity stress) is the weight of MSR.…”

Herbicide resistance can affect seed germination and the optimal conditions required for seed germination, which in turn may impose a fitness cost in resistant populations. Winter wild oat [Avena sterilis L. ssp. ludoviciana (Durieu) Gillet and Magne] is a serious weed in cereal fields. In this study, the molecular basis of resistance to an ACCase herbicide, clodinafop-propargyl, in four A. ludoviciana biotypes was assessed. Germination differences between susceptible (S) and ACCase-resistant biotypes (WR1, WR2, WR3, WR4) and the effect of Isoleucine-1781-Leucine mutation on germination were also investigated through germination models. The results indicated that WR1 and WR4 were very highly resistant (RI > 214.22) to clodinafop-propargyl-contained Isoleucine to Leucine amino acid substitution. However, Isoleucine-1781-Leucine mutation was not detected in other very highly resistant biotypes. Germination studies indicated that resistant biotypes (in particular WR1 and WR4) had higher base water potentials than the susceptible one. This shows that resistant biotypes need more soil water to initiate their germination. However, the hydrotime constant for germination was higher in resistant biotypes than in the susceptible one in most cases, showing faster germination in susceptible biotypes. ACCase-resistant biotypes containing the Isoleucine-1781-Leucine mutation had lower seed weight but used more seed reserve to produce seedlings. Hence, integrated management practices such as stale seedbed and implementing it at the right time could be used to take advantage of the differential soil water requirement and relatively late germination characteristics of ACCase-resistant biotypes.
