They are potent competitors on vital resources which limits the availability of the resources for crops. Allelopathy is one of the weeds' abilities that commonly with inhibitory influences, affects plant communities' behavior. Therefore, the evaluation of these compounds' effects is important on crop plants. Also, the identification of allelopathic plants and their bioactive compounds can be a suitable approach to weed management. Thus, the aim of this study was the evaluation of the allelopathic potential of C. falcate on germination indices of wheat seeds and the mode of action of the extract on some enzyme activities. Furthermore, secondary metabolites in methanolic root extract were identified and reported. Materials and methods: Germination and seedling experiments of Triticum aestivum var. Sardary seeds were tested by 0, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% concentrations of C. falcata root extracts based on CRD with four replications at the research laboratory of Maragheh University during 2018-19. Also, the influence of the extract was studied on enzyme activities of alpha-amylase, catalase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and polyphenol oxidase. Furthermore, chemical compounds of the root methanolic extract identified by GC/MS instruments. Results: Germination percentage and germination rate decreased significantly with the increase in the concentration of the extract, and germination stopped at concentrations above 15%. The results of seedling growth showed severe inhibitory effects of the extract on radicle and shoot organs of wheat seedlings that associated with reducing of the lengths and weights of the organs, and consequently, the vigor of seedling declined. The extract significantly reduced the activity of alpha-amylase, however, the activities of antioxidant enzymes first increased at low and medium concentrations but at high concentrations, the activities declined. The phytochemical analysis identified 62 compounds in the root of this plant that Octadecatrienal, Dihydro-4H-pyrazolo [3, 4-d] pyrimidin-4-one, Hexadecanoic acid, Hexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1 (hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester, Isopropyl isothiocyanate, and Cyclohexanone could be effective compounds on seed germination. Conclusion: C. falcata had a very strong inhibitory effect on the seed viability and seed vigor of the wheat seeds. According to the results, the mode of action of the allelopathic compounds is induced by induction of oxidative stress and inhibition of seed reserves remobilization during germination. The high sensitivity of alpha-amylase activity to allelochemicals was detected in this experiment. The decrease in the activity of all studied enzymes at high concentrations of C. falcata root extract was also significant. Stearic acid and palmitic acid derivatives accounted for about 30% of the compounds, which are very likely to interfere with the activity of the enzymes.","PeriodicalId":14578,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Seed Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82930630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This stress decrease germination rate and affects germination percentage under high levels as well. Seed priming improves germination by changing metabolic activities before radicle emergence. This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed priming by salicylic acid on the emergence index and grain weight of spring wheat under water deficit stress. Material and Method: These experiments were conducted as factorial based on the completely randomized design with three replicates in the greenhouse of the Faculty of the Agriculture Sciences University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. Experiment treatments included different salicylic acid concentrations (0, 1, 2 mM) and water deficit stresses (25%, 45%, 65% and 85% Field capacity). Result: According to results, emergence index (emergence percentage and emergence rate, uniformity emergence, and times to 10, 50, and 90% emergence) was influenced at 1% by water deficit stress. The effect of salicylic acid was significant on the emergence index. The interactions of water deficit stress and salicylic acid were effective at 1% on emergence uniformity and time to 90% emergence. Changes in plant height and heading rate were lower under water deficit stress. Also, both slope (b) and maximum content (a) decreased by water stress (22% and 7%). Priming by salicylic acid at 2 mM had the highest effect on both traits and resulted in a decrease in their slopes (17% and 13%) and an increase in their maximum content (34 and 10%). Plant dry weight was influenced by the interactions of water deficit stress and salicylic acid at 5% level. The plant's final height and grain weight was influenced by water deficit stress and salicylic acid. The highest grain weight was obtained at 80% and 60% field capacity with means of 0.79 and 0.75 g, which had no significant differences with eachother. The heights grain weight (0.72 g) was obtained by application of 2 mM salicylic acid which led to an increase of 250% compared to control. Conclusions: Overall, we showed that water deficit stress resulted in decreased emergence rate and emergence percentage of wheat and finally declined plant growth and grain weight. Application of salicylic acid in seed priming resulted in improvement in the emergence index, growth, and grain weight of wheat. Also, the highest grain weight was observed at 2 mM concentration and it can be considered as the enhancing treatment.","PeriodicalId":14578,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Seed Research","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81948854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study was designed to determine the effect of different levels of osmotic stress on germination and seedling traits of some bread wheat cultivars cultivated in cold regions of Iran. Materials and Methods: In order to investigate the effect of different levels of osmotic stress on germination characteristics of bread wheat cultivars cultivated in cold regions of Iran, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with 3 replications in which, the first factor consisted of 20 bread wheat cultivars (including rain fed cultivars as well as end-of-season water stress tolerant varieties) and the second factor consisted of 3 levels of osmotic stress (non-stress, -3 and -6 bar stress). Seedling traits such as coleoptile length, shoot length, shoot weight, root length, root weight, root / shoot ratio, root growth angle, germination speed and the germination stress index (GSI) were evaluated. For the experiment concerning the yield comparison, 20 cultivars mentioned above were compared under non-stress and terminal drought stress conditions. Results: The results showed that the ratio of root/shoot length and weight and shoot weight had the highest sensitivity and the lowest number of roots to osmotic stress. Increasing root length as root weight decreased with increasing stress showed that roots became longer and thinner due to stress. Among the genotypes, Saein, Zare, Pishgam, Sadra, Baran and Mihan had desirable traits and CrossMV17, Homa, Orum and Cross Azar2 had no desirable germination traits. In non-stress conditions, 11 genotypes had high coleoptile length including Hashtrood, Azar 2, Saein, CD62-6, CD91-12, Mihan, Baran, Heydari, Homa, Cross Azar 2 and Zare genotypes. At 3 bar stress, 11 genotypes had the highest coleoptile length, with the highest values being assigned to Hashtrood, Heidari and Saein. At 6 bar stress, CD91-12 and CD62-6 lines, Hashtrood, Homa, Pishgam, and Zare had the highest coleoptile length. At 3 bar stress cross Azar 2, Saein, CD62-6, Gascogen and HD2985 demonstrated the highest germination rate. Furthermore, Cross Azar2, HD2985, Gascogen, CD62-6 and Saein led to the best results, respectively. However, in both 3 and 6 bar stress conditions Saein, Cross Azar2, CD62-6 and HD2985 were superior for germination stress index (GSI).

Germination percentage, daily germination speed, mean daily germination, plumule length, root length, and seedling length Cardinal temperatures of germination calculated using regression analysis with the aid of the proposed models (logistic, two-way, quadratic, and third-order polynomials) using germination speed. The data were analyzed using SAS software and the comparison means were done by Duncan's test at a probability level of 5%. Sigma Plot software was used to plot the germination rate against temperature graphs (for fitting different models). Results: The results showed that the effect of different temperature levels on the percentage, speed and mean seed germination was significant (P <0.05). According to the results, the lowest values for percentage, speed, and average germination were obtained at 5, 10, and 40°C, and the highest germination speed was observed at 15 °C and also the highest percentage of germination and average germination was observed at 35°C. The results of the effect of different temperature levels on seedling growth showed that the effect of temperature on the seedling length, stem, and root length was significant (P <0.01), so that the lowest values related to seedling length, plumule and radicle was found at 5, 10 and 40°C, and the maximum seedling and plumule length were 30°C. Conclusion: Quantification of the gauge seed germination reaction to different temperature levels was carried out using four dual-functions, logistic, quadratic and triple polynomials. The second-order multitasking regression model, based on the coefficient of explanation (R 2 ) and the amount of deviation, had a suitable and significant fit with the data related to germination rate against the independent temperature variable.
