Effects of Nitrogen Fertilizers on the Growth and Nitrate Content of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)
Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth and development; however, due to environmental pollution, high nitrate concentrations accumulate in the edible parts of these leafy vegetables, particularly if excessive nitrogen fertilizer has been applied. Consuming these crops can harm human health; thus, developing a suitable strategy for the agricultural application of nitrogen fertilizer i...
متن کاملAgrobacterium-mediated transformation of cotyledonary leaf of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) by the GCHI gene
Lactuca sativa is widely used as a leafy vegetable belonging to the Asteraceae family. Cotyledonary leaves of in vitro lettuce seedlings were transformed by plasmids containing the GCHI gene. Also the effects of number of days of pre-cultivation and co-cultivation of explants were examined on the transformation frequency. After co-cultivation, the explants were transferred onto the regeneration...
متن کاملGrowth and Yield of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) At Abakaliki Agro-Ecological Zone of Southeastern Nigeria
Studies were carried out in 2005 and 2006 raing seasons at four locations (Abakaliki, Ezzamgbo, Ikwo and Okposi) within the Abakaliki Agro-ecological zone of southeastern Nigeria, to determine their suitability for the production of lettuce. The measurements included weather elements, soil physico-chemical propertiesand crop growth and yield. The data collected were subjected to statistical ana...
متن کاملInduction of Light Sensitive Dormancy in Seed of Lactuca sativa L. (Lettuce) by Patulin.
The antibiotic patiilin (I) has been reported to inhibit seed germination becauise of its toxicity (7). We considered that this butenolide (I) might induce light sensitive dormancy in seeds of lettuce because of its structural similarity to coumarin (II) and ramulosin (III), (see fig 1), which have been demonstrated to possess this biological activity (2,5,6). Possible activitv was tested in th...
متن کاملInfluence of Different Colored Plastic Mulch on the Growth of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
Mulches bring several benefits to lettuce cultivation.A study on the lettuce ‘Red Rapids’ has been conducted to determine the influence of the different colored plastic mulch on its growth. The experiment consisted of five color treatments as follows; treatment 1- metallic silver (control), treatment 2- red, treatment 3- orange, treatment 4- yellow and treatment 5-green. Results showed that the...
