The genetics of
plumule greening and
plumule vigor have not previously been reported for chilling-tolerant rice from Nepal.
Plumule length was not different (p<0.05) in different potential of priming (Table 1).
Seed coating with B significantly (P less than 0.01) affected the radicle and
plumule lengths, seedling fresh and dry weights and the root score; however there was no effect of B seed coating on leaf score (Table II).
No statistically significant differences (p<0.05) have been found to exist between different water potential on final germination percentage, mean germination time and
plumule lenth (Table 1).
Germination of seeds was counted after one week and measured for radicle and
plumule growth.
Analysis of variance revealed that
plumule length was affected by different priming treatments, whereas
plumule length was not significantly different across varieties (Table 1).
The
plumule, the rudimentary shoot of the embryo, is usually situated at about a 90[degrees] angle from the root primordium and can bear a variable number of leaf primordia.
[sup.137]Cs concentration was not high in the newly developing tissue itself (i.e.,
plumule and radicle) but was higher in the surrounding tissue.
The
plumule growth of P oleracea was also inhibited by 94% at 0.50 mg/mL; however, a total inhibition was observed at 1.0 and 2.0 mg/mL of the EO doses.
Lotus
plumule, also called Lianzixin, is the green seed embryo of the lotus seed.
hysterophorus showed a significant effect on germination rate,
plumule length, radicle length, fresh weight, and dry weight of seeds.
