The effect of pre-sowing treatment of spring wheat seeds with suspensions of various actinomycete strains has been studied. It has been found that 4 out of 18 strains studied had a stimulating effect on seed germination in soils and plant development. The stimulation of seeds by these strains was not observed during seed germination in sand. It has been suggested that the mechanism of acceleration of seed development by actinomycetes could be based not only on the release of stimulating biologically active substances, but also on the consumption of allelotoxins by these microorganisms. The test carried out to study the possibility of actinomycete growth on a medium containing one of the most common allelotoxins, coumarin, has shown that actinomycetes promoting seed germination develop on this medium more intensively compared to strains that do not affect or inhibit the germination of spring wheat seeds. This confirms the proposed hypothesis that actinomycetes can stimulate seed germination through consumption of soil allelotoxins.

At present, it is highly important to develop nanopesticide, which can improve the effect of pesticides and reduce the risks of environmental. Zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) is usually used as a nanocarrier of nanopesticide, which has a porous structure and stimuli-responsive properties. However, the drug loading performance and stability of ZIF are poor.

Norway maple and sycamore belong to the Acer genus and produce desiccation-tolerant and desiccation-sensitive seeds, respectively. We investigated the seed germination process at the imbibed and germinated stages using metabolomic and proteomic approaches to determine why sycamore seeds germinate earlier and are more successful at establishing seedlings than Norway maple seeds under controlled conditions. Embryonic axes and embryonic axes with protruded radicles were analyzed at the imbibed and germinated stages, respectively.

The effects of intense heat during the reproductive phase of two Brassica species-B. napus and C. sativa-could be alleviated by a prior gradual increase exposure and/or PGPR inoculation.

Temperature is a fundamental factor influencing the processes of seed germination. Investigating the response of carinata to thermal stress and establishing a dependable and efficient method for screening thermotolerance will enhance breeding programs and model applications. We assessed the response of 12 carinata genotypes to a range of eight temperatures, spanning from 8 to 37 °C, throughout the germination process.

Introduction: Little is known about the similarities and differences in responses of plants grown from heteromorphic seeds, which are morpho-physiologically dissimilar seeds produced simultaneously on the same plant.
Methods: In this context, we studied how plants grown from heteromorphic (i.e.
