Author Information Genelyn G. Madjos  from the Institute of the  Department of Biological Sciences, College of Science and Mathematics, Western Mindanao State University, Zamboanga City, Philippines Journal Name Journal of Biodiversity and Environmental Sciences | JBES Abstract Nickel miningposed a serious environmental problem due to run-offs and tailings. To address this, current techniques include excavation, chemical stabilization and soil flushing, but these methods are costly and impractical. One of the ecologically accepted treatments is phytoremediation. With the capacity of Centella asiatica (gotu kola) to thrive in moist soils with domestic effluents, this present study sought to evaluate its phytoremediation potential by employing an experimental design with three replicates of: (a

Iran also are rich of medicinal plant species. More medicinal plants are wild and their seeds have low . The experimental was carried out based on factorial (6*2 design in three replication by using of six treatments including: Acid Gibberlic 250 ( 500 , ppm and Potassium nitrate ( 1 % , 2 % ) and cold treatment 4  C in laboratory of seed technology of gene bank in research Institute of forestry and range land on 2011-2012 . The seed germination characteristics including : percent and speed of germination , rootlet and shootlet length, root to shoot ratio, seed length, fresh weight , vigour index and number of normal seedling were calculated. The analysis of variance
