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 ...

in recent years application of plant growth regulators especially growth retardants, has been significantly increased. trizols (paclobutrzol and trinexapac-ethyl) as the most effective and least harmful growth retardants, induce more dwarf and denser cover plants with both darker and thicker leaves.  therefore, an experiment based on completely randomized block design with 16 treatments and 3 r...

in this experiment, physiological responses of two citrus rootstocks [sour orange (citrus aurantium l.) and trifoliate orange (poncirus trifoliata raf.)] were investigated under in vitro salt stress conditions. this study was conducted on a completely randomized factorial design. explants (nucellar seedling obtained from seeds) of both rootstocks were transferred to murashige and skoog (ms) sol...

The soybean (Glycine max l. merr) is one of oil seed plants from leguminous family. In this study, the effect of gamma radiation on chlorophyll, soluble and insoluble carbohydrate and composition oil seeds were investigated in soybean. Soybean variety J.K was irradiated with 0,100,200 and 300 gamma ray. The treatment and control seeds planed in with four replicates. The highest amount of total ...

Activities of phosphoriboisomerase, phosphoribulokinase, and ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase, protein content, and chlorophyll accumulation in dark-grown barley seedlings were measured before and after illumination. Enzymatic activities, levels of soluble protein, and accumulation (upon illumination) of chlorophyll in leaves declined from tips toward the base. In response to increasing tim...
