The objective of this study is to compare the effect of five different Nacl concentration (0,50,100,150,200 mM) on seeds germination and seedling growth of two cultivars of soybean (sb-44,sb-172).
Seeds were germinated in petri dishes with sterile
filter paper moistened with 10 ml of test solution at 25 c˚ in dark .
The obtained results showed that germination percentage , length of root and hypocotyl were decreased with the increase of the Nacl concentration in the medium. The best values was from cultivar sb-44 .
After seven days of incubation , significant differences were observed between control and treated seeds .
Germinated seeds were subcultured on basal Murashige and Skoog medium solid at the same Nacl concentration . The roots growth was mor affected by 200 mM Nacl compared to seedling growth .
Plantlets were transfered into pots with nutrient soil , irrigated with saline water and were adapted at laboratory . we obtained good plants grew to maturity in 10- 12 weeks .
A total of /13/ fungal species belonging to /10/ genera
have been obtained from nine samples of sunflower seeds. The
isolation was on potato dextrose agar media and blotter paper with tow treatments (surface-sterilized seeds- seeds without
sterili
zation). The species were Aspergillus flavus ; A. niger ; A.
fumigatus ; ؛Alternaria alternate ; Fusarium solani; F. moniliforme ; Macrophomina phaseolina ; Mucor racemosus ; Penicillium chrysogenum ; Rhizopus stolonifer ; Trichotheium rosum ; Rhizoctonia solani and Absidia ramosae . The most prevalent species was Aspergillus flavus with percent frequency 100% and 55-77% for Alternaria alternata. The percentage of seeds germination was between (0-77%) on PDA media and (20-81%) on BP, and it was low in the non-sterile seeds treatment. The moisture content of the seeds was between (7.4-13%), and there is no correlation (R2=0.06) between the percentage of the infected seeds and its moisture content.
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 effect of salinity and the treatment with fungicide on seed germination of Cupressus
sempervirens L. was investigated.
Five concentrations of salinity (0, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10%) were used. One part of the seeds was
treated with fungicides (Benomyl
), while the other part was germinated without fungicide
treatment. The results showed that seed germination was reduced by salinity, but the reduction was
more pronounced without fungicide and with salt concentration, the seeds didn't germinate at 5 and
10% NaCl.
Despite the decrease of germination indices with the increase of salt concentrations, the
statistical results didn't show significant differences in salinity concentrations and the control in
germination speed without fungicide, but they were significant with the fungicide. The statistical
results showed significant differences between the presence and absence of fungicide in all
treatments
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.
Six durum cultivars were compared in relation to germination percentage,
mean germination time, and germination “Catch up” from stress under
different soil moisture contents in the labs. Both soil moisture and cultivars
have shown effects on the s
tudied parameters. Increasing moisture tension had
caused a significant reduction in the germination percentage. The cultivars
differed in their germination. Haurani 27 and Cham3 showed a higher
germination potential and their germination times were shorter than the two
varieties Bohouth 5 and Cham1. The varieties Lahn and Senator Capelli were
intermediate among the other examined cultivars.
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.
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.
