The effect of high dilutions of Pulsatilla nigricans on the vigour of soybean seeds subjected to accelerated aging

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high dilutions of Pulsatilla nigricans in dinamisations 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 CH on the vigour of soybean seeds subjected to accelerated aging. The experiment was conducted according to a randomised design with 6 treatments and 10 replicates. The treatments consisted of dinamisations 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 CH and a distilled-water control. After the treatments, the seeds were subjected to accelerated aging (48h at 42ºC) in a growth chamber (25 ± 2ºC). The study evaluated the germination, the length of primary roots and shoots, the fresh weight of roots and shoots and the enzymatic activity of peroxidase (POX-EC1.11.1.7). The variables were analysed by ANOVA, and the means were compared using the Scott-Knott test (p = 0.05). The germination and the fresh weight of roots and shoots of the seedlings treated with Pulsatilla nigricans were higher than the water control, except that CH 30 did not significantly increase the fresh weight of shoots. The dinamisations 6, 24 and 30 CH produced a lower primary root length compared with the control. The dinamisations 12, 18 and 30 CH yielded a greater length of shoots. The total length of seedlings was reduced by the high dilutions 6 and 24 CH.

Homeopathic Treatments and their Effect on the Initial Development of Cucumber Plants Grown in Cow Manure Contaminated by Auxinic Herbicide

“…Medium followed by the same letter in the column do not differ significantly from each other by Tukey test at 5% probability. Similar to the results of this study, Silva et al (2012) also found that dilutions between 18CH and 30CH provided promising results for the effect of soybean seeds, while aerial part length values for the dilutions 6CH and 24CH did not differ from the control, being responses to the present study. In contrast, Marques et al (2008) reported an increase in the length of the aerial part of the plant spontaneous Sida rhombifolia, studying the dynamizations of 3CH, 6CH, 12CH and 30CH with use of homeopathic preparations of Cymbopogon winterianus.…”

Biophototic in azuki bean seeds treated with ultrahigh dilutions

“…With the available capture tools (GDV and BSL) and image analysis, observed dif-ferences between the effects of UHD treatments would support studies of the intrinsic mechanisms of these substances in the seeds. Sucussed ultra dilutions partly explain similarities to specific instructional loads in plant cells in their unique characteristics, when compared to autonomous intelligent units (Silva et al, 2012).

Propagation in Vitro and Experimental Field Cultivation ex Situ of Pulsatilla Turczaninovii Kryl. et Serg. (Ranunculaceae)

“…Representatives of the Ranunculaceae family are highly valued for their multiple usefulness for humans, and due to long-term growth and relative longevity of populations they are of great importance in the natural environment (Antoń and Kamińska 2015;da Silva et al 2012;Hao et al 2015;Jiang et al 2017;Deng et al 2019). In addition to high value in nature (Bochenková et al 2012(Bochenková et al , 2015, Pulsatilla species have medicinal properties (Danova et al 2009;Hao et al 2015;Lin et al 2011;.…”
