Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a biennial crop of high commercial value in Pakistan. considered as salt sensitive plant species. The present investigation was carried out to investigate the effect salinity on onion and its alleviation through exogenously applied gibberellic acid (GA3; 100 mg L-1). Foliar application GA3 (100 L-1) seedlings grown under three levels (0, 2 or 4 dS m-1) after 45 days so...

This species belongs Mediterranean basin floristic region. According International Union for Conservation of Nature’s criteria, C. classified as “Critically Endangered” (CR). The aim study develop vitro regeneration protocol critica...

the postharvest life of cut eustoma grandiflorum flowers is limited in open flowers. therefore a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with ascorbic acid (asa) at 4 levels (0, 100, 200, 300mg l-1) and citric acid (ca) at 3 levels (0, 100, 200 mg l-1) with 3 replications and 3 samples for each replications, was conducted for this purpose. results indicated that a significa...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different silicon supplements and postharvest treatments on growth and yield of gerbera in a greenhouse experiment. Silicon supplements were including potassium silicate at three concentrations (0, 140 and 200 mg L−1), sodium silicate at three concentrations (0, 50 and 100 mg L−1) and rice hull ash (RHA) at three concentrations (0, 50 and 1...

henbane hyoscyamus reticulatus l. is a plant species in solanaceae family that seeds hardly germinate because of seed dormancy. in order to determine the best methods for seed dormancy breaking in henbane, a experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three replications. the treatments included moist pre-chilling (at 4 °c) for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days, combined treatment of gib...

Background: Gibberellic acid (GBA) is a naturally occurring and commercially produced plant growth regulator which may cause a variety of effects including the stimulation of seed germination in some cases. Histochemical changes in testicular tissue including carbohydrates, lipids and alkaline phosphatase enzyme changes were evaluated. Materials and Methods: Twenty seven mature male rats after ...
