...lication of IAA, GA3 and thiourea
alone or subsequent to scarification promoted seed
germination to over 90% within 6 days of incubation at
20-30°C as against 18-30% germination after 30 days of
untreated seeds. Large size seeds gave better
germination. Storage up to 12 months had no
significant effect on germination. The seeds germinated
better at pH 5-7.

...riming (water; control), thiourea (150 mM) seed priming under normal (10.8 mM) and saline conditions (70 mM). The seeds of two varieties (TS-05 and TH-06) was sown at Botany Garden, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Results showed that salinity decreases the growth (root and shoot parameters) impaired the balance between antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase) and oxidants (hydrogen peroxide and malondialdehyde), and lessened the uptake ...
