Background and objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of NaCl on growth, antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, proline), maximum quantum yield, chlorophyll contents Pseudolysimachion pusanensis.Methods: Five levels concentrations (0, 50, 100, 200, 400 mM) were used for treatment. Results: The growth according highest at 50 100 mM, but root declined before top from 200 mM or h...

In this research, effect of vermicompost and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on physiological traits of lemon balm under drought stress condition was investigated in year 2012 at Karaj Research Institute of Forest and Rangelands. Experiment was conducted as split-split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications. irrigation (normal: irrigated to field capacity...

ziziphus spina-christi are distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of world. most of these areas are subjected to soil salinity. so, the aim of this study was to find out the effects of different nacl concentrations on z. spina-christi seedlings growth, in the presence of a number of single and dual amf inoculums, to provide some information about possible effects of amf under salinity condit...

today, biosphere pollution has accelerated strongly with start of industrial revolution by toxicity of heavy metals. one of existing pollution is soil pollution. unfortunately, soil pollution by metals is as intensive environmental stress for plant hence for human. plants, which are able to store heavy metals in their organs, can be used for phytoremediation of polluted soils and utilization of...

cadmium (cd), being a highly toxic metal pollutant of soils, it inhibits root and shoot growth and yield production, affects nutrient uptake and homeostasis. it is frequently accumulated by agriculturally important crops and then enters the food chain with a significant potential to impair animals and human’s health. therefore, a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of various cd levels ...
