Comparison Results

The present investigation was carried out at Dr. Y.S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan during the year 2014 -2015 to study the “Effect of cold plasma treatment and priming on bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cultivar California Wonder) for seed germination and seedling vigour. The seeds were ex-posed to various durations of oxygen plasma treatment using glow discharge technique at FCIPT, Institute for Plas-ma Research, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. Seeds were pre-treated with power of 100 W for treatment durations of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15 minutes for 0, 4, 8 and 12 month durations. The changes in surface morphology of plasma treated seeds were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Contact Angle Goniometer. Along with plasma treatment, seeds were also treated with standard priming method i.e osmoprimng for comparison. Results showed that plasma treatment alone as well as in combination with osmoprimng up to 6 minutes duration had positive effects on seed germination and seedling vigour. Germination and vigour indices significantly increased by 21.75% and 90.71% respectively. Characteristics of germination percentage, speed of germination, seedling vigour index-I & II, significantly increased by 13.92%, 1.39 cm, 0.38 mg, 322.07 respectively, compared with control. And it was found that immediately after plasma exposure the germination (84.41%) and vigour (228.50) was highest and it was reduced to (73.54%) and (174.27) after 12 months of storage. These results indicated that cold plasma treatment might promote the growth and modify the speed of germination i.e. higher speed of germination was observed in seeds exposed to plasma treat-ment for 6 minutes (59.82%), whereas, lowest germination speed (40.76%) was observed in untreated control.

Capsicum Annuum L

Plant growth promoting bacteria are known to directly or indirectly influence the development and yield of plants. Studies that show the biotechnological potential of these bacteria as biofertilizers are thus important. The objective of this study was to evaluate the growth capacities of strains M2-7 and LYA12 and define whether their interactions with Capsicum annuum L. increases production. The hypothesis was that the Bacillus licheniformis strains have capacities to promote growth and yield of Capsicum annuum L. First, these strains were evaluated in vitro in selective culture media to detect those direct or indirect mechanisms for plant growth promotion. Then, the effect of both strains on seed germination and the effect of strain M2-7 were studied on the in vivo development of C. annuum L. The experimental design was completely randomized with 3 treatments and 3 repetitions. Data was analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey test (p≤0.05). Results showed that the bacterial strains were able to fix nitrogen, solubilize tricalcium phosphate Ca3 (PO4)2, produce gibberellins, lytic enzymes (amylases, proteases, lipases and esterases), biosurfactants, volatile compounds; and significantly inhibit growth (p≤0.05) of the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum sp. Likewise, the strains M2-7 and LYA12 increased (p≤0.05) by 89 and 78% the seed germination of C. annuum L. M2-7 enhanced fresh weight (235%), stem diameter (308%), root weight, number and weight of fruits (316%), as compared to treatment 1 (Nitrofoska) and 3 (Control). Therefore, B. licheniformis M2-7 strain is attractive to develop the formulation of biofertilizers; aiming to improve yield of some horticultural crops towards a sustainable and ecological agriculture.

Capsicum Annuum L

The effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on seed germination and seedling growth of Capsicum annuum L. were determined in this research. Total phenols content, total flavonoids, and condensed tannins, as well as 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) antioxidant capacity was determined. Results indicated that treatment with zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) improved seed germination rate during the first seven days. The seed vigor germination increased 123.50%, 129.40% and 94.17% by treatment with ZnO-NPs suspensions at 100, 200 and 500 ppm, respectively. The morphological parameters tested revealed that ZnO-NPs treatments did not significantly affect plumule development, but they had a significant impact (p ≤ 0.01) on radicle length. Suspensions at 100, 200 and 500 ppm of ZnO-NPs inhibited seedling radicle growth and promoted accumulation of phenolic compounds, with a phytotoxic effect in this organ. Results suggested that zinc oxide nanoparticles influence seed vigor and seedling development and promoted the accumulation of desirable phenolic compounds in the radicle.
