Influence of nano-silica and humic acid on physiological characteristics of Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon L.) under salinity stress

Influence of Humic Acid on Growth, and Leaf and Root Mineral Elements of Sabrina Strawberry under Salinity Stress

Salinity is one of the most brutal environmental stresses limiting the productivity of agricultural crops. In order to determine the effect of humic acid on some morphological and physiological characteristics and uptake of elements by strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch. cv. Sabrina) under salinity stress, a greenhouse factorial experiment was conducted with three factors including two treatmen...

Antiarthritic activity of Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.

Cynodon dactylon (L.) (Poaceae) is traditionally used herb to treat fevers, skin diseases and rheumatic affections. The ethanolic extract of C. dactylon was found to be safe at all the dose levels (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, orally) and there was no mortality up to the dose of 5000 mg/kg of extract when administered orally. C. dactylon showed significant antiarthritic activity against Freund's com...

Bioaccumulation of Nickel and Lead by Bermuda Grass (Cynodon dactylon) and Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) from Two Contaminated Soils

Soil and sediments of the estuaries and wetlands in Northwest of Persian Gulf are recently polluted with different heavy metals because of municipal and industrial wastewaters. Therefore an urgent soil cleaning up and remediation program is vital in this region. Consequently, this study was initiated to screen two plant species (Festuca arundinacea and Cynodon dactylon) for hyperaccumulation of...

The Effect of Putrescine and Salicylic Acid on Physiological Characteristics and Antioxidant in Stevia Rebaudiana B. Under Salinity Stress

In order to investigate the effect of putrescin and salicylic acid on some physiological and antioxidant properties of stevia under salinity stress, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. In this experiment, samples were exposed to different concentrations of putrescine (0, 0.5 and 1 mM), salicylic acid (0 and 0.5 mM) and salinity (0, 75 ...
