Abstract:

Poor crop establishment and split seed associated with manganese (Mn) deficiency are major problems in the production of narrow-leafed lupins (Lupinus angustifolius L.) in Western Australia. A survey of Western Australian seed producers indicated that Mn concentrations in lupin seeds ranged from 8 to 62 mg kg-1, with the majority of the seed containing less than 20 mg kg-1. We studied seedling growth of lupins (cultivars Gungurru and Danja) in nutrient solution, from seed with Mn concentrations ranging from 8 (Seed8) to 223 (Seed 223) mg kg-1. Without added Mn, the final weight of plants grown

Abstract:

AbstractMaternal effects on offspring seeds are mainly caused by seed position on, and the abiotic environment of, the mother plant. Seed heteromorphism, a special form of position effect, is the production by an individual plant of morphologically distinct seed types, usually with different ecological behaviours. Seed heteromorphism is assumed to be a form of bet hedging and provides an ideal biological model to test theoretical predictions. Most studies of maternal effects on seeds have focused on abiotic environmental factors and changes in mean seed traits of offspring. Suaeda salsa is an

Seed production in Forms A and C of C. juncea was measured at 11 wheatbelt sites in Western Australia and under glasshouse conditions. Most field-grown plants produced abundant viable seeds, even without substantial summer rainfall. Up to 27.6 x l03 seeds per plant were recorded, and their viability was frequently between 80 and 90%. Even in their first year, some plants produced more than 10000 seeds each. Through the summer, seed production often followed either a positively skewed, or a bimodal curve. Falls of rain in summer did not increase seed output or affect its quality in established

Abstract:

Black seed oil is a natural oil extracted from the seeds of Nigella sativa; a flowering plant was used as a case study of the recovery of oil from plants. This project is interested in the recovery of black seed oil using the Soxhlet apparatus with ethanol and cyclohexane as solvents. The extracted oil was weighed after one, three, and six extraction cycles for both solvents. Results indicated that the weight of the oil extracted increased significantly in the third and sixth cycles compared to the first. Subsequently, the black seeds were ground, and the extraction process was repeated using

When alien plant species arrive in a new environment, they develop novel interactions with native biota that can range from negative to positive. Determining the nature and strength of these interactions is integral to understanding why some aliens are suppressed and others become highly invasive pests. For introduced terrestrial plants, seed and seedling interactions with native biota are crucial, because most nascent populations start from seed.

Subsequently, the mutants were subjected to cross-pollination under isolation conditions within groups, contingent upon the radiation dose, to yield the M1, M2, and M3 generations.

Results are drawn from a field experiment examining the relative susceptibility of surface versus buried seeds for 19 herbaceous taxa exhibiting different degrees of seed bank persistence.
