in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methanol on some physiological characteristics of chickpea under drought stress, an experiment was conducted as a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in 2011 at the recearch center of plant for sciences in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the first factor was different levels of methanol including, 0 (c...

salinity is one of the environmental stresses that have limited influence on the crop growth. oxidative process is a secondary stress due to salinity. oregano is enumerated as one of the most important of medicinal plant that its production and development is possible in iran. in order to study the effect of exogenous application of hydrogen peroxide on salt tolerance in oregano (origanum major...

Changes in pigment content allow seagrasses to photo-acclimate to dynamic light environments, but lightand salinity-induced stress may reduce this ability. In this study, Thalassia testudinum seedlings were exposed to two light treatments (50 – 70% reduction and full sun) and three salinity treatments (20, 35, and 50) in a 44-day mesocosm experiment. Variation in leaf pigment content (chlorophy...

The drought tolerance of canola cultivars viz., Shirale, Oscar, Con-II, Rainbow and 19H was investigated after exposure to drought stress at various growth stages in a pot experiment. Water stress was imposed at flowering and pod filling growth stages. Data of various physiological (leaf chlorophyll a & b, proline and protein contents) and agronomic attributes (number of pods/plant, seeds/pods,...

Background & Aim: The pigments inside the leaf chloroplasts receive sunlight energy and transport it to photosynthesis reaction center. The most important of these pigments is chlorophyll. In this study, the pigments existence in medicinal plant, sumac (Rhus coriaria L.), was investigated at Biotechnology Laboratory, Isfahan University of Technology. Experimental: Experiments were per...

to investigate the effects of priming and foliar spray by 24-epibrassinolide (ebr) on some of marigold morphological, biological and biochemical traits, an experiment was conducted as factorial on completely randomized design with three replications at experimental laboratory of department of horticulture, shahid bahonar university of kerman in 2014. each of priming and foliar spray of ebr had ...

The effects of lead, copper, cadmium and mercury on the content of chlorophyll, proline, retinol, α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid were investigated in 17-day-old bean seedlings (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in Hoagland solution spiked with various concentrations of Pb, Cu, Cd and Hg. Control and heavy metal-treated plants were grown for 10 days in Hoagland solution. Content of total chlorophyll ...

Chromium-VI would impose detrimental effects morphological, physiological, and metabolic in plants. This study aimed to research the impact of citric acid (0, 2.5 and 5 mM), on different the morphological and physiological characteristics of garden cress exposed to chromium-VI stress (0, 1, and 10 mM). Results showed that some growth parameters, chlorophyll, carotenoids, and DPPH activity decre...
