in this regard, the morphophysiologic and anatomic characteristics of six olive cultivars (nabali, feshomi, arbequin, zard, gordal and roghani) were investigated under drought. experiments were designed based on factorial and complete block random plot with two control treatments, -1.5 mpa stress and three replicates. the investigated factors were as follows: leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf...

Most plants encounter stress such as drought and salinity that adversely affect growth, development and crop productivity. The expression of the gene glutathione-s-transferases (GST) extends throughout various protective mechanisms in plants and allows them to adapt to unfavorable environmental conditions. GSTF1 (the first phi GSTFs class) gene expression patterns in the wheat cultivars Mahuti ...

soilless culture systems of strawberry production are increasing. yield and fruit quality are not only affected by growing media but also by chilling and horticultural managements. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different growing media and chilling on vegetative growth, yield and fruit quality of three strawberry cultivars. the experiment was conducted in factorial experime...

In an interior environment, the display life of miniature potted roses (Rosa hybrida L.) `Bronze' was 7 days, while that of `Vanilla' was 23 days. Although there was a substantial difference in ethylene production between flowers from two cultivars, there was no difference in binding site activity (kd ˆ 0.14 nl lÿ1). Pre-treatment with the ethylene action inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) ...

Analysis of genetic diversity changes in existing gene pools of cultivated crops is important for understanding the impact of plant breeding on crop genetic diversity and developing effective indicators for genetic diversity of cultivated plants. The objective of this study was to assess genetic diversity changes in 75 Canadian hard red wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars released from 1845 ...
