The study was carried out on trifoliate orange rootstock trees (Poncirus trifoliata L.)
at Ciano Research Station where the trees were sprayed with nutrients or gibberelic acid
GA3 or togethers, beside the control (without spraying). Different trea
tments of seed
storage were tested in order to study their effect on seed viability to increase it. The seeds
were stored for three months using four treatments: (a) seed storage in fruits at +4˚C, (b)
Storage in juice at +4˚C, (c) Storage at lab temperature, and (d) seed storage at fridge
temperature +4˚C. The results showed that all spraying treatments were positive at
postharvest, as compared with the control. However, treatment of seed storage inside the
fruit gave the highest significant germination rate for all spraying treatments. Treatments
of spraying with nutrients were the best. The viability of seeds considerably decreased for
all treatments of seed storage at fridge temperature +4˚C, whereas germination was zero for
seed stored in juice and seed stored at lab temperature.
The aim of this study was to test the effeciency of some organic and bio fertilizers in
improving the seeds germination and transplants growth of pepper Capsicum annum L.
local variaty" Qorn Algazal":by using two commercial compounds; organic (Hube
st) and
one bio (EMI) fertilizers. Two experiments were used; the aim of the first was to study the
effect of these fertilizers on germination of seeds in Petri dishes and plastic peatmoss peds.
Whereas the aim of the second experiment was to evaluate the effect of the fertilizers on
the pepper transplants growth that prepared in the 5 * 5 Striopor peatmoss plates placed in
un warmed plastic tunnel.
The results showed that the soaking of pepper seeds in the tested fertilizers, provoked
and the germination increased the seeds, vigor, with a significant performance of the bio
fertilizer.
The results also showed that the treated transplants with the tested fertilizers gave an
increase of the transplants growth ratio (the height, leaves number and foliar surface area,
the dry and wet weight) with a significance superiority of the bio fertilizer.
Yellow rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici is one of the most important
disease affecting wheat worldwide. The objective of this study was to evaluate
some morphological and productivity characteristics of durum and soft wheat
collected from different locations of Syria.
This study was carried out during 2014-2015 in two different nurseries located in
University nursery (Lattakia governorate) and Salhab nursery (countryside of Hama
governorate). Seeds were taken from two sites of Lattakia governorate (Mashqita– Bsn
ada)
where Cordia myxa exists as exotic species in some coastal regions and three treatments in
addition to control were examined .The results showed that there is an effect of
scarification of seeds on investigated treatments and were significant differences in
germination percentage in both sites which recorded 55% in university nursery and 35% in
Al-Ghab nursery. While there were not contrast between the soaking in boiling and tap
water treatments on the seed germination energy in Al-Ghab nursery. Scarification
treatment gave higher value of germination energy 25% in Al-Ghab nursery and 21.66% in
university nursery , while the same treatment decreased germination velocity compared to
other treatments in university nursery which seed needed in average ( 8,01 day) whereas
the same treatment increased germination velocity in Al-Ghab nursery which needed (1,54
day). Finally, regarding to cutting ,There is not observe to any positive influence to
cuttings which treated in ABA hormone (1g/l) for (10,20,30 m). It could be deduced that
there were changes in germination percentage, germination energy and germination
velocity in two sites which appeared to be a Preliminary indication of impact of the some
dormancy breaking treatments on investigated indications of Cordia myxa Forsk. species .
This research was carried out in five sites varied in altitude representing Mediterranean vegetation zones of western slopes of Lattakia Mountains during 2010 - 2011 on Quercus infectoria Oliv species. Research shows that significant difference of al
titude above sea level has obvious effect on seed germination in different sites. This is noticed in characteristics related to fruit weight, germination rate value sum, and height of vegetal and rooty seedling after four months of germination. Altitude above sea level has no effect on the branchlet number of rooty and vegetal sum height of seedlings as well as mean of leaves number of seedlings. According to germination ratio and daily germination ratio, in addition to seedling diameter, there is harmony among all sites. It can be deduced that there are changes in growth traits of studied seedlings in different sites. This is the primary indication of the impact of the altitude above sea level on seedling traits of Quercus infectoria Oliv.
The study was conducted on six varieties of cucumber: Napleon, Ampres,
Sendian, Prence, Samara and Baladi. To study the responses of these varieties
to drought stress, on the seed germination and seedling growth under different
Polyethylen glycol
concentrations (0 control, 10 mM, 20 mM and 40 mM PEG).
The results of this research showed a some varieties to its tolerance to drought
stress. The varieties Ampres, Prence and samara showed more resistance to
drought stress. It s indicated with increasing seed germination and growth of
seedlings with the higher concentration of PEG in compared to another
varieties.
The experiment was carried out to assess the germinability and seedling
growth rate of some treated vegetable seeds (i.e. onion, carrot, and tomato) with
aerated - aqueous solutions.
Seeds were treated for 24 hours with 0.1% of both succinic acid
and
nutrient solution, and the seeds to medium ratio was 1:5.
The soaking solution was continuously aerated by an air pump. At the end
of treatment, the seeds were dried up at room temperature to eliminate the
excess superficial moisture.
Seeds of Pinus pinea L .were collected from AL Kusaibia site near Aleppo
(altitude ٢٩٥m) and from AL Bustan site near Mesiaf (altitude ٨٠٠m). which
have different ecological conditions in order to recommend the best optimal
treatment for breaking
the coat dormancy stage of seeds pre-sowing in both
sites. Six different methods of treatment suchas, mechanical treatment,
treatment with boiling water, treatment with light sucher acid (H٢SO٤) for ١٥,
٣٠, ٤٥ minutes, and with normal water for ٢٤ hours. were applied to break the
coat dormancy of ٦٠٠ seeds in each sites.

This study has been carried out using the onion and pepper seeds to
determine the effects of the aqueous medium temperature, during treatment
with oxygen, on the germination percentage seed vigor and for determining the
period needed for the treat
ment with the oxygen as well.
The treatment period has taken ١٢-٣٦ hours according to the kind of crop
and the medium temperature, which varied between ١٠-٣٠ °C.
Results of the study indicated that the treatment of seeds with oxygen, in an
aqueous medium, improved the germination percentage and the seed vigor. The
period needed for the treatment of the seeds with oxygen differs according to
the kind of crop and the temperature of the medium and varies between ١٨-٢٤
hours with respect to the onion seeds, and between ٢٤-٣٦ hours regarding the
pepper seeds. The period needed for treatment with oxygen decreases with the
rise of temperature.
