BAL, E. and S. CELIK, 2010. The effects of postharvest treatments of salicylic acid and potassium permanganate on the storage of kiwifruit. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 576-584 Kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa cv. Hayward) was used to investigate the effects of salicylic acid (0.5 mM, 1 mM) and potassium permanganate treatments on fruit quality and storage life during storage for two years. After tr...

Analysis of DRIFTS spectra was used for a quantitative study of competitive adsorption of myristic and salicylic acids onto kaolinite or gamma-alumina. Peaks unique to the ring or the chain were selected and single molecule studies used as calibration. Samples were exposed to hexane solution containing equal molecular quantities of each acid. The surface loading of salicylic acid was not influe...

The production and detoxification of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROIs) play an important role in the plant response to nutrient and environmental stresses. The present study demonstrated the behavior of growth, ROIs-production and their detoxification in primed and non-primed rice seedlings under chilling stress (18°C) and nitrogen-(N), phosphorus-(P), or potassium-(K) deprivation. The resul...

environmental stress, particularly drought stress can play an important role in reducing plant growth especially during the germination stage in arid and semi-arid regions in iran. for cultivation of medicinal plants in arid and semi-arid areas, the assessment of their tolerance is very important. in this research, in order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement o...

The temperature at which cotton seeds (Gossypium hirsutum L.) germinated influenced the fatty acid composition of the polar lipids of developing root tips. Seeds were germinated at 15, 20, 25, and 30 C. As the temperature decreased the linolemic acid content of the polar lipid fraction increased. Sandoz 9785[4-chloro-5-(dimethylamino)-2-phenyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone] reduced the low temperature-ind...
