SUMMARY Seed germination of six sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrids was investigated across a range of eleven constant temperatures between 5°C and 45°C. Large temperature differences in germination rate 1/t (d-1), cardinal temperature (°C) and thermal time θ (°cd) were observed among hybrids. Base temperatures (Tb) varied between 3.3°C and 6.7°C whereas maximum germination temperatures (Tm) varied between 41.7°C and 48.9°C. Final germination fraction was attained at 15°C - 25°C whereas the maximum rate of germination was attained at 30.4°C - 35.6°C. The maximum germination rate of hybrid USDA 894, the cultivar with the slowest germination rate, was only 50% of that of hybrid EX 47. The low Tb and high Tm of sunflower appear to be one of the factors which explain the successful adaptation of sunflower to a wide range of temperature. These findings are discussed in relation to the origin of the crop and its wide adaptations in diverse habitats and climatic zones.

Malaria is a disease that occurs in tropical countries like Indonesia. The incidence of malaria in the world is still quite high and the occurrence of cases of Plasmodium resistance to antimalarial drugs and the widespread of resistance have prompted researchers to look for new antimalarial drugs, especially from natural materials. Betel leaf (Piper betle Linn.) And sunflower leaf (Helianthus annuus L.) have long been used by the people of Indonesia as an antimalarial drug. The purpose of this study was to determine antimalarial activity through inhibition of heme polymerization and determine secondary metabolite compounds by phytochemical screening from betel leaves and sunflower leaves. The heme polymerization inhibition activity assay was carried out by the in-vitro method using a microplate reader at 415 nm and 630 nm wavelengths. IC50 values of betel leaf extract and sunflower leaf were 178.67 μg/ml and 160.10 μg/ml, respectively. Phytochemical screening results from betel leaf showed the presence of flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, quinones, saponins, and monoterpenoids-sesquiterpenoids, while sunflower leaves contain alkaloids, polyphenols, flavonoids, steroids and monoterpenoids-sesquiterpenoids.Keywords: Piper betle Linn., Helianthus annuus L., Malaria, Heme Polymerization

Laurus Nobilis

Laurus nobilis L. is among the species which are most threatened by massive degradation in Morocco. The multiplication by seed or by cuttings gives very low percentages of recovery that is insufficient to meet the demand of growing market. In vitro culture proves to be a tremendous asset to solve this problem. Our work has focused on the study of seed germination of this species and its multiplication from microcuttings. Finally, we studied the ac-climatization ability of the plantlets resulting from this germination. The study of the germination, via the further measurement of the length of the aerial part and the roots and the number of axillary buds for nine weeks, showed that the MS basal medium was more efficient than media 1/2M.S and WPM. Among the eight tested hormones, IAA yielded the best growth of the plantlets. Hormonal combination of NAA and kinetin resulted into a per-centage of the greatest success in reaching 67 % micropropagation. The study also revealed that the MS basal medium in the presence of the IAA plants can acclimate most easily in two types of substrates with improved development in the peat alone.

Germination Process

The purpose of the experiment was to highlight the germination of sunflower seeds affected by the presence of saline stress and the identification of tolerant genotypes. The biological material was represented by sunflower cvs. (Helianthus annuus L.): Coril, Select, Santiago and Fundulea-206. To simulate the saline conditions, germination solutions of sodium chloride (NaCl) were used with concentrations corresponding to the osmotic pressures -6 and -10 atm and the control seed hydration was performed with distilled water. Determination of seed germination, growth of seedling, percentage of plumules dry matter, chlorophyll content and free proline were performed. The experimental data obtained suppose the existence in the assimilation apparatus of sunflowers seedling subjected to stress a competitive chlorophyll/free proline biosynthesis processes. The experimental results regarding the effect of salinity on seed germination and seedling growth revealed important differences between genotypes. The radicle growth in the germination process were strongly affected by saline excess, with significant differences between cultivars. Saline stress results in significant reductions in the amount of chlorophyll, and high levels of free proline. It can be observed that with the increase of the stress level the percentage of the dry matter increases, indicating an accentuated water deficit.
