Bio-fortification of food crops is a cost-effective and sustainable agricultural strategy to decrease malnutrition arising from micronutrients deficiencies. Accordingly, the pot experiments have been conducted to investigate the effectiveness of various foliar-applied iron (Fe) fertilizers in increasing agro-morphological traits and grain micronutrients concentrations of bread wheat plants unde...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of foliar applications of potassium and zinc on the fruit yield and quality as well as leaf nutrient concentrations of pistachio cv. ‘Chrokeh’. The experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications per treatment. Treatments were three levels of K2SO4 (0, 1 and 2%) and thre...

In this review an attempt has been made to analyze the results of the studies that explored the changes in the growth and development of plants exposed to continuous light published since the 1930s, including papers that are available in Russian only. Potential benefits of using a 24-h photoperiod for the production of greenhouse crops, transplant production in closed controlled environment sys...

• The mineral nutrition of terrestrial carnivorous plants was investigated under glasshouse conditions to elucidate ecophysiological adaptations of this plant group. • In Drosera capillaris and D. capensis, absorption of N, P, K, and Mg from insects was relatively efficient (> 43%), whereas that of Ca was not. Carnivorous plants (D. capensis, D. peltata, D. scorpioides, and Dionaea muscipula) e...

Nitrogen effects on the regulation of photosynthesis in wheat (Triticum aestivum L., cv Remia) seedlings were examined. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase was rapidly extracted and tested for initial activity and for activity after incubation in presence of CO(2) and Mg(2+). Freeze clamped leaf segments were extracted for determinations of foliar steady state levels of ribulose 1,5...

Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) as the most cultivated leguminous species in the world, is an excellent source of protein, dietary fiber, micronutrients and phytochemicals. A field experiment was conducted at Ghazala, Zagazig University, Sharkia Governorate during 2015, to study the effect of plant Growth Regulator such as; Gibberellic acid (GA3) and Inidol acetic acid (IAA) on antioxidant contents o...

Wheat represents an important staple food for human and animal nutrition. However, it constantly suffers from the incidence of biotic abiotic stresses which reduce yields kernels quality. The goal with this study was to use elicitors Acibenzolar-S-Methyl Carrageenan elicit mechanisms defense wheat increase quality yields. work conducted as a random block design six treatments two cultivars (TBI...
