Abstract

Due to the growing environmental and health concerns with chemical plant stimulants, there is a growing need to find alternative sources of plant stimulants that could help the seeds germinate and sustain their growth in the global climate change scenario. The article compares various seed stimulants such as chemical compounds (benzothiadiazole, salicylic acid, glycine betaine), alcoholic extracts from commercial plant products (English oak bark, ginger spices, turmeric spices, caraway fruits) and from wild plant leaves (Japanese pagoda tree, Himalayan balsam, stinging nettle and Bohemian knotweed) and their effects on wheat seed germination and seedling characteristics. It was found that BTH had significantly lower effect on seedling characteristics such as SG3 (%), SG5 (%), R/S III, SVI I (mm) and SVI III (mg) followed by ZO on SG3 (%), SG5 (%) and GI (unit). Significantly highest R/S III was found in SJ treatment, while SVI I (mm) and SVI III (mg) characteristics were significantly enhanced by treatment with CC and RB. It seems that such plant materials could be useful in alternative agriculture for different purposes.

不同刺激物对小麦籽粒萌发和早期生长的影响

由于化学植物兴奋剂的环境和健康问题日益严重，越来越需要寻找植物兴奋剂的替代来源，以帮助种子在全球气候变化的情况下发芽和维持其生长。本文比较了各种种子兴奋剂，如化合物（苯并噻唑、水杨酸、甘氨酸甜菜碱）、商业植物产品（英国橡树皮、生姜香料、姜黄香料、香菜果实）和野生植物叶子（日本槐树、喜马拉雅香脂、刺荨麻和波西米亚结缕草）中的酒精提取物，以及它们对小麦种子萌发和幼苗特性的影响。结果表明，BTH对幼苗SG3（%）、SG5（%）、R/S III、SVI I （mm）和SVI III （mg）的影响显著低于ZO对SG3（%）、SG5（%）和GI （unit）的影响。SJ处理的R/S III最高，CC和RB处理的SVI I （mm）和SVI III （mg）特征显著增强。看来，这种植物材料在替代农业中可能有不同的用途。

期刊介绍： The Science of Nature - Naturwissenschaften - is Springer''s flagship multidisciplinary science journal. The journal is dedicated to the fast publication and global dissemination of high-quality research and invites papers, which are of interest to the broader community in the biological sciences. Contributions from the chemical, geological, and physical sciences are welcome if contributing to questions of general biological significance. Particularly welcomed are contributions that bridge between traditionally isolated areas and attempt to increase the conceptual understanding of systems and processes that demand an interdisciplinary approach.
