Soil salinity remarkably hinders rice growth, development and productivity. The present study was set up to explore the role of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) silicon (Si) application on growth yield performance two contrasting genotypes, namely BRRI dhan41 (salt-tolerant) dhan49 (salt-sensitive) under salinity. experiment laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications fo...

Whole cell voltage-clamp recording and focal application of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) were used to investigate the ability of exogenous GABA applied to different locations within the guinea pig hippocampal slice to trigger a giant GABA-mediated postsynaptic current (GPSC) in pyramidal cells. A GPSC reflects the synchronous release of GABA from a group of interneurons. ...

Brassinosteroids (BRs) are a novel group of plant growth regulators which regulate growth and development of plants. BRs application is also effective in ameliorating the adverse effects of abiotic stresses including salt stress. A pot experiment was conducted to assess the influence of exogenous application of BRs as a foliar spray on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and pattern of nutrient...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is generated during incomplete combustion of carbon-containing compounds and leads to acute and chronic toxicity in animals and humans depending on the concentration and exposure time. In addition to exogenous sources, CO is also produced endogenously by the activity of heme oxygenases (HOs) and the physiological significance of HO-derived CO has only recently emerged. CO e...

in this experiment, the possibility of growth promoting of exogenous salicylic acid during two growth stags on chlorophyll content, yield and yield components of canola plant was investigated. for the purpose of improving above traits, salicylic acid was applied in four concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 400 µm) during two different growing stages (first time; when temperature was close to 7-10 °c...
