Background Zea mays (maize) is a globally significant cereal crop with diverse applications in food, feed, and industrial products. However, maize cultivation is often challenged by environmental stressors such as heavy metal toxicity and drought stress (DS). Heavy metals like cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) can accumulate in soil through industrial act...

Germinating seedlings emit light in the visible range spontaneously, and these emissions are related to metabolism and reactive-oxygen species (ROS) processes. Several series of germination tests had such biological auto-luminescence (BAL) recorded in controlled conditions, fostering applications for the non-invasive, real-time evaluation of a seed...

The sprouts of various seeds have garnered considerable regard amid consumers due to its verdure, crispiness, and germination potential, offering a cost-effective and straightforward process. The moist and warm conditions are very conducive to germination, fostering the growth of microorganisms and thereby raising food safety concerns. The aim of t...

Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) is a rich source of phytonutrients for both humans and animals. However, a standardized method for propagating Moringa through cutting and seeds is lacking, thus limiting its widespread cultivation. Hence, studies were carried out to determine suitable treatments to produce high-quality propagation materials from cutti...

Abies spectabilis (East Himalayan Fir), a dominant timber-producing species in the Himalayas, plays a dynamic role in ecological balance and sustains various habitats across temperate to subalpine altitudes. Himalayan montane forests express signs of changes in the growth, regeneration, and population density of forest tree species due to ongoing c...

This study was conducted in controlled environmental conditions to systematically evaluate multi-traits responses of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes to different salinity levels. Responses were assessed at the germination to early seedling stage (Experiment 1). Seeds of different genotypes (n=292) were subjected to three salinity leve...

In the 2018-revised Clostridium perfringens typing classification system, isolates carrying the enterotoxin (cpe) and alpha toxin genes but no other typing toxin genes are now designated as type F. Type F isolates cause food poisoning and nonfoodborne human gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, which most commonly involve type F isolates carrying, respec...

The sustainability of forest species is directly related to the success of stand regeneration. Assuring success is particularly critical in stands where perpetuity relies on natural regeneration, as is often the case with cork oak forests. However, 59% of the stand in Portugal have no natural regeneration, and climate change could further worsen th...

Seed germination is a vital process, yet extremely sensitive to salinity. This is particularly true for coastal halophytes like the annual oilseed species Cakile maritima, which faces the simultaneous impact of wind, saltspray and seawater inundations in its natural biotopes. At the early developmental stages, this may jeopardize seed germination, ...

Rastlinski material invazivnih tujerodnih rastlin, ki smo ga odstranili iz vrtov ali iz narave, moramo ustrezno zavreči, da preprečimo njihovo nenamerno razširjanje. Do zdaj je veljal napotek, da lahko kompostiramo le tiste dele, iz katerih rastline ne morejo na novo pognati, vegetativne dele in plodeče rastline pa moramo oddati v sežig. V našem po...
