Effect of cold stratification treatments on germination of drought tolerant shrubs seeds.
This study was carried out to determine effects of different durations (20, 40, 60 days and control) of cold stratification treatments on seed germination and to overcome dormancy in seeds of twelve different drought tolerant plants. The species used in this study were Arbutus andrachne L., Cistus creticus L., Colutea armena Bois. Huet., Cotinus coggygria Scop., Cotoneaster numullaria Fisch. an...
متن کاملHeavy Metals (Cd, Cu, Ni, Zn and Pb) Uptake by Various Components of Smooth-Leaved Elm (Ulmus carpinifolia) Tree in Abadeh City
The concentrations of cadmium, copper, nickel, zinc and lead were investigated in various components of smooth-leaved elm (Ulmus carpinifolia) tree in three sites (polluted, moderately polluted, and control) in Abadeh, Iran, in July 2015. The experiment was conducted using factorial experiment in a Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The concentration of heavy metals was measu...
متن کاملFlavonoid distribution in Pyracantha coccinea plants at different growth phases.
Flavonoid composition during the ontogenetic cycle was examined in Pyracantha coccinea. The flavonoid profiles of plants at different ages showed marked differences in aerial and hypogeal parts. In the vegetative phase there are flavonoids (flavanones, flavones, and flavonols) only in the aerial parts and they appear gradually during the plant life. These secondary metabolites are detectable in...
متن کاملEstimating Gene Flow between Refuges and Crops: A Case Study of the Biological Control of Eriosoma lanigerum by Aphelinus mali in Apple Orchards
Parasitoid disturbance populations in agroecosystems can be maintained through the provision of habitat refuges with host resources. However, specialized herbivores that feed on different host plants have been shown to form host-specialized races. Parasitoids may subsequently specialize on these herbivore host races and therefore prefer parasitizing insects from the refuge, avoiding foraging on...
متن کاملEvaluation of Some Plant Fruit Extracts for the Control of West Nile Virus Vector Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae)
BACKGROUND The extracts of different parts of plants were found very effective against various pests. The aim of this research was to determine the insecticidal activity of fruit methanol extracts obtained from Melia azedarach (Meliaceae), Phoenix theophrasti (Arecaceae), Styphnolobium japonicum (Fabaceae) and Pyracantha coccinea (Rosaceae) against the larvae of Culex pipiens (Diptera: Culicida...
