DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE OF TWO TARO CULTIVARS TO ALUMINUM

Differential responses of two Iranian rice cultivars to arsenite toxicity

Arsenic (As) is a toxic metalloid which is usually found in rice fields as a contamination and has negative effects on the plant growth and reduces the crop yield. Similar to heavy metals, the deleterious effects of As may be due to, at least in part, the amount of absorbed As and disturbance of the plant water status. I...

Differential Response of Two Soybean Cultivars to Paraquat

The soybean cultivars “ K w angkyo” and “H o o d ” are differentially sensitive to the bipyridylium herbicide paraquat (l,r-d im ethy l-4 ,4 '-b ipyrid in ium ion). This was confirm ed by visible injury observations, m easurem ents o f desiccation levels and chlorophyll conten t, and tracings o f chlorophyll fluorescence induction o f fully expanded first trifoliate leaves o f these two culti­ ...

THE RESPONSE OF FOLIAR PROTEINS IN TWO WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM) CULTIVARS TO SALT STRESS

Effect of various NaCl treatments (0, 50, 100, 200, and 300 mM) at different growth and development stages (tillering, boot swellen, flowering and anthesis) in two wheat cultivars (Ghods: salt – sensitive, Boolani: salt – resistant) on SDS-PAGE electrophoretic pattern of leaf proteins was studied under greenhouse conditions. Generally, in response to salinity treatments, the decrease in protein...
