The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of seed priming techniques on germination characteristics of C. maxima Duch. cultivar (Beiguan). Treatments were combinations of 3 levels of priming (distilled water, NaCl and PEG6000) and non-priming (control) with 3 replications. Concentrations of NaCl solution were 50, 100, 150, 200 mmol•L-1, and polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 were 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, respectively. Seeds were primed using the above priming materials for 24 hours at 20°C in the dark, respectively. The results showed that different priming techniques could have various effects on germination of Beiguan seeds. Hydropriming (distilled water), NaCl priming and PEG6000 priming (10%) all improved the germination characteristics of Beiguan, compared to the control. NaCl priming was more effective than hydropriming and PEG6000 priming and was the most successful technique in this study. These findings indicated that seed priming techniques could accelerate germination process and were simple and cheap, we should propose these methods to farmers.

Previous studies suggested that fast and uniform germination is important for good crop establishment. The present study was conducted to investigate the possibility of increasing germination characteristics by seed priming techniques. An experiment was conducted with three replicates and two treatments including: 2 different priming duration (8 and 12 hours) and 6 osmotic potential of PEG 6000 solutions (-0.8, -1,-1.2,-1.4,-1.6 Mpa) and distilled water as a control group). The priming solutions were prepared using polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG). Our results showed that the most effective osmotic potential in improving germination characteristics of Trifolium alexandrium is -0.8 MPa for 16 hours.

The poor aqueous solubility of the drug exhibits in variable dissolution rate and hence poor bioavailability. Aceclofenac is poorly water soluble drug. The aim of the present study was to improve the water solubility and the dissolution rate of Aceclofenac by solid dispersion technique using different water soluble polymers. The term solid dispersions refer to the dispersions of one or more active ingredients in an inert carrier or matrix at solid state. In this study, binary solid dispersion of Aceclofenac were prepared by fusion method using Polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000), Polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000), Poloxamer as carrier. Different drug-carrier weight ratio was used for this study. The effect of the carrier on the solubility and in-vitro dissolution were studied. It was found the drug was released 26.86% after 5 minutes and only 40.19% within 60 mins from active Aceclofenac on the other hand the release pattern of Aceclofenac from the binary SD formulation containing PEG 6000 in 1:5 ratio (Formulation coding: A5) showed the best result in comparison of other binary and ternary SD formulations which was 62.29% after 5 min and 83.03% within 60 mins. The hydrophilic polymers used for the preparation of solid dispersion are showed significant increase in the solubility of Aceclofenac.

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of seed priming with magnesium nitrate salt against the moisture stress condition induced by Polyethylene glycol-6000 on seed germination, vigour index and tolerance index in root and shoot. Polyethylene glycol-6000 was used to create short term moisture stress under laboratory conditions while the seed priming was carried out by using magnesium nitrate. The percent germination, seed vigour index and tolerance index were started to decline from T1 to T4 (i.e. set first 1.5 and 4.5 % of PEG-6000 solution + none primed seed) while the results of second set (i.e. PEG-6000 + primed seed from T5 to T8) were also following the same decreasing trend along with improvement in every parameters. The germination was recorded highest 100 percent in T5 (i.e. 1.5% PEG-6000+ primed seed) followed by T6, T1 and T7 (T6 and T7 is 2.5% and 3.5 % PEG-6000+ primed seed) while the control set recorded 98.7% at final date of observations i.e. 240 Hrs. vigour index and tolerance index was also decreasing in both the set of treatments but PEG-600 + primed seed showed better results as compared to the treatments PEG-6000 + none primed. Tolerance index percent was recorded maximum in root as compare to shoot at 120 hrs. of intervals while the reverse result was recorded at 240 hrs. of intervals.
