TLDR
Germination was increasingly inhibited at concentrations above 5 and 20 mM and stopped altogether at 80 and 50 mM NaF in rice and jute respectively, whereas the inhibition of seedling growth began at much lower concentrations.Abstract:
Germination was increasingly inhibited at concentrations above 5 and 20 mM and stopped altogether at 80 and 50 mM NaF in rice and jute respectively, whereas the inhibition of seedling growth began at much lower concentrations. Of the enzymes, RNase activity was increased by fluoride, while α-amylase, protease, phytase and ATPase activities exhibited distinct inhibition from the control.read more

Studies on the impact of fluoride toxicity on germination and seedling growth of gram seed (Cicer arietinum L. cv. Anuradha)
TL;DR: 4.0 mM F concentration was found to be most sensitive for gram seeds and germination occurred but plants were totally dried after completion of treatment period.

Seed Priming Improves Agronomic Trait Performance under Flooding and Non-flooding Conditions in Rice with QTL SUB1
TL;DR: Seed priming had positive effects on yield and yield attributing parameters both under non-flooding and early flooding conditions and outperformed Swarna-Sub1 when the plants were cultivated under flooding.

Role of starch hydrolytic enzymes and phosphatases in relation to under water seedling establishment in rice
TL;DR: The activities of starch hydrolyzing enzymes and phosphatases were studied in seedlings of three Indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, namely Panikekoa & T 1471 that showed good capacity for seedling establishment under submergence (tolerant) and IR 42 which had poor under water seedlingestablishment capacity (susceptible).

Initiation of active metabolism in the early imbibitional phase of mungbean ( phaseolus aureus ) seeds
A. K. Paul,S. Mukherji +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that some of the soluble nitrogen pools are diverted to RNA formation which in turn produce enzyme protein which triggers a series of metabolic changes within 3 h with the respiratory energy as the driving force in mungbean seeds imbibition of water.

Streptomycin induced changes in growth and metabolism of etiolated seedlings
TL;DR: High nucleic acid content induced by streptomycin could be correlated with reduced activity of the nucleases and accumulation of nucleic acids and decline in protein content resulting in increased RNA/protein and DNA/protein ratios.
