Short communication Cucumber yield and nitrogen metabolism in response to nitrogen supply

چکیده
Cucumber plants (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Brunex) were grown under controlled conditions in an experimental greenhouse and treated with four rates of N in the form of KNO3 (N1, 5 g/m ; N2, 10 g/m; N3, 20 g/m; and N4, 40 g/m). The intermediate N rates (N2 and N3) gave higher utilization of NO3 ÿ in the leaves (highest NR activities) than treatment N1 (inadequate) and N4 (excessive). This latter rate (N4) appears to result in excessive foliar assimilation of NO3 ÿ, thereby increasing amino acids and proteins and inhibiting or reducing NR activity. N2 and, especially, N3 treatments strengthened the translocation of organic nitrogenous compounds (amino acids) towards the fruit, which enhanced the commercial yield. # 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

The effects of light intensity (µ mol m-2 s-1) and different levels of Nitrogen was made on the biomass and lipid of microalgae Chaetoceros calcitrans under laboratory conditions in the north of Iran in 2016. The pure strand of C. calcitrans with F/2 media (8 sets of 3 flasks) were placed in front of the light source at values of 80, 160, and 240 µ mol m-2 s-1. The cell count was collected in ...
متن کاملEvaluation the Interactions Effects Between Nutrition Methods of Nitrogen on the Various of Quantitative Traits in Cucumber in Ilam Province
Plants absorb nutrients needed for plant type, growing season, depending on soil and yield. Absorb of nutrient 30-90 percent depends management practices in the use of fertilizer. Can be used fertilizers in most cases soil and for foliar feeding can be quickly absorbed into the plant at the proper levels of nutrition in cucumber. In this experiment, was used a split plot in a randomized complet...

Soil water, salinity and nitrogen content are three major factors affecting crop production in arid and semi-arid areas. This study was performed in two years of 2009 and 2010 in a semi-arid area in order to investigate the effects of irrigation water quantity (as main plot), quality (saline water, as sub-plot), nitrogen fertilizer (as sub-sub plot) and their interactions on growth and yiel...
متن کاملReliable Reference Genes for Normalization of Gene Expression in Cucumber Grown under Different Nitrogen Nutrition
In plants, nitrogen is the most important nutritional factor limiting the yield of cultivated crops. Since nitrogen is essential for synthesis of nucleotides, amino acids and proteins, studies on gene expression in plants cultivated under different nitrogen availability require particularly careful selection of suitable reference genes which are not affected by nitrogen limitation. Therefore, t...
