“…Maximum shoot sprouting of 94.45% and percentage survival of 83.34% was observed in GA 3 25 ppm, as compared to control with 77.78% of sprouting and 44.45% of rooting. The results contrast with those of Butola and Badola (2007b) who reported increased percentage of rooting after IAA and IBA treatments compared to control in Angelica glauca and Heracleum candicans. Further, the results were also contrary to Shabir et al (2010) who reported that GA 3 concentrations are less effective particularly in the induction of adventitious root development in Inula racemosa.…”

Jurinea dolomiaea is an important medicinal and aromatic plant species of Kashmir Himalaya. Due to its tremendous overexploitation the species has been listed as endangered for Himalayan region. In this study we carried out the propagation of J. dolomiaea using rhizome cuttings. Propagation through rhizome cuttings is a means towards conserving the species and making available planting material of this species for cultivation. Bringing more species under large-scale cultivation helps reduce the pressure on the wild stocks. We investigated the sprouting ability and percentage survival of rhizome cuttings under ex situ conditions including soil textures, moisture contents and different concentrations of Indole acetic acid (IAA), Indole butyric acid (IBA) and Gibberellic acid (GA 3 ) treatments. A better rooting response (p ≤ 0.05) was observed with GA 3 25 ppm treatment when compared to zero hormone soaked.

“…The most commonly-used base is sodium hypochlorite, also known as bleach. This solution acts as a seed disinfectant, rinsing away any possible fungus or infection that might decrease plant survival upon germination (Ervin and Wetzel, 2002;Butola and Badola, 2008). The longer a seed is in the dormant stage, the higher the likelihood of it becoming susceptible to pathogens.…”

Evaluating macrophyte selection and germination protocols to enhance nutrient sequestration in engineered wetland models

Research examining contaminant sequestration using engineered wetlands has been conducted for many years but the implementation of sustainable, biodiverse strategies is still in its infancy. A major gap in knowledge still exists regarding the kinds of macrophytes to be selected, especially the inclusion of non-invasive native flora. There is a lack of information about macrophyte selection criteria and germination protocols. Thus, this study attempted to redress this dearth in knowledge. The first part of this thesis critically assessed a list of macrophytes provided by Environment Canada (1996) and created “selection criteria” for choosing specific macrophytes. Germination protocols were then compiled to determine and outline optimized germination protocols for these aquatic macrophytes. In the second part of this study, two different constructed wetlands models were designed for laboratory purposes (a “floating” constructed wetland model and a “stationary” constructed wetland model). Water samples were assed for biological impact and phosphorus concentration.

“…Low temperature seems to favour germination by promoting the breakdown of reserve proteins in the seeds releasing particular amino acids which are necessary for the growth of the embryo 5,6 . Pre-sowing treatments have been used to enhance seed germination of several wild-sourced medicinal plants of the Himalayan region 1,[7][8][9] . Heracleum candicans Wall., a perennial herb endemic to the Northwest Himalayas, exhibits poor (42-46%) seed germination 10 .…”

Background and Objective: Heracleum candicans belongs to the family apiaceae. In Kashmir Himalaya, this plant grows at an altitude of 1700-5000 masl. The present study was carried out to enhance seed germination using different physical, chemical and hormonal treatments. Materials and Methods: For germination studies, seeds were subjected to different physical, chemical and hormonal treatments. Seeds were surface sterilised with 2% aqueous sodium hypochlorite (Hi-Media) for 5-10 min. The disinfected seeds were placed in sterilized Petri plates containing sterilized absorbent cotton moistened with 10 mL of treatment solution. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS (Version 22.0) statistical software and the results were examined according to Tukey's test. Different letters on the values indicate that the means are significantly (p<0.05) different. Results: Among the physical treatments, wet chilling at 4EC for 20 days proved to be most effective for seed germination. Among the three chemical treatments used, sodium hypochlorite treatment proved to be effective. Conclusion: Among the two hormonal treatments used, kinetin showed effectiveness in breaking seed dormancy as compared with GA 3 .
