Germination of Buckwhet Seeds Subject to Storage Time and Electromagnetic Stimulation Methods

Physiologo-morphological features of common wheat under the influence of helium-neon laser

“…Wheat seedlings were harvested fifteen days after sowing and measurements of germination, morphological and physiological parameters were performed. Hydrogels are three-dimensional swollen networked structures [13][14][15]. When placed in an aqueous medium, hydrogels swell and retain the volume of the adsorbed aqueous medium in a threedimensional swollen network of hydrophilic homopolymers or copolymers covalently or ionically crosslinked.…”

“…= maximum number of germinated seeds recorded during one count, ∆ =time interval between two successive counts [13].…”

Influence of Microwave Irradiations on Germination, Seedling Growth and Electrolyte Leakage of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

“…Various germination traits were estimated and monitored during the experiment at different time-points; 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12 days after sowing (DAS). Based on the obtained results, the percentage of germinated seeds N k , germination rate S k (seed.h -1 ), maximum number of germinated seeds (n max ), relative germination coefficient (W k ) were calculated with the using germination formulas by Ciupak et al (2007) presented in table (1).…”
