The trick to getting a persimmon seed to germinate is to recreate its natural pre-germination conditions, in which the fruit seeds need a chilling period before leaving dormancy and sprouting.

Water the Soil Before Planting New Grass Seed Water the ground several days before planting the grass seed. You want the soil to be soaked 6 to 8 inches deep. Soaking the ground before planting ...

Introduction: Brassica juncea is a major oilseed crop of Brassica. The seed weight is one of yield components in oilseed Brassica crops. Research on the genetic mechanism of seed weight is not only ...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L., family Asteraceae) is cultivated primarily for its seed, called achenes, which contains high amounts of oleic and linoleic acids (Khalid et al., 2017). These acids ...

A seed consists of a small encapsulated plant embryo in a highly resistant and inert state awaiting favorable growth conditions to germinate and develop into a young seedling. Seeds convert plants ...

Black seed oil may have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that could help with conditions like psoriasis, asthma, hair loss, and acne. But more research is needed to confirm these ...
