Background & Aim: Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora H.B.K.) is a richly scented herb and has a long history as a sacred and medicinal plant. Select an appropriate medium in tissue culture is a necessity for success Experimental: To evaluate the effect of 10 medium of previous researches for Lippia micropropagation (1- MS medium supplemented with BAP (3 mgL-1) + IBA ...

environmental stress, particularly drought stress can play an important role in reducing plant growth especially during the germination stage in arid and semi-arid regions in iran. for cultivation of medicinal plants in arid and semi-arid areas, the assessment of their tolerance is very important. in this research, in order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement o...

the influence of different initial inoculum densities of the root-knot nematode meloidogyne javanica on the growth of sage (salvia officinalis), root-knot development and nematode multiplication was investigated 90 days after inoculation under greenhouse conditions. with the increase in the nematode initial inoculum densities, shoot fresh/dry weight, shoot/root length and root fresh/dry weight ...

In order to study the germination and growth of pepper seeds, a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications was conducted. The first factor was consisting of five cultivars of pepper (Marquiza, Cadia, California Wonder, California Wonder 310 and California Wonder 300) and the second factor was gibberellic acid with three levels (0 as control, 250 and 500...

Pollen extracts of date palm were used in tissue culture medium for banana as growth substances in comparison with growth regulators. Pollen extracts contain auxin (IBA) and tryptophan (auxin precursor). Water pollen extract (WPE) contains higher concentration of indoles compared with ethanol pollen extract (EPE). Most of treated plants showed highly growth characteristics such as shoot number,...

the aim of this study was to identify the effect of spermine and salicylic acid on several growth parameters, such as shoot length, shoot fresh and dry weights, amount of protein and carbohydrate, of badami and qazvini pistachio cultivated variety under copper stress. the experiment design was completely randomized with three replicates per treatment and four levels of copper (o.5, 30, 45, 60 µ...

parsley has a very high nutritional value, containing a, b and c vitamins and mineral nutrients. in order to investigation of the effect of different nitrogen sources on parsley an experiment conducted in a factorial combination of three nitrogen forms (calcium nitrate, ammonium sulphate and urea) and four nitrogen levels (0, 100, 125, 150 kg ha-1) by using a factorial experiment based on rando...

despite the importance of drought stress in early stage of growth and plant establishment, it has usually been neglected as selection criteria in breeding programs. therefore, a population of recombinant inbred line derived from the cross “babax/seri m82” and their two parents were studied. the experiment was conducted in two randomized complete block designs with two replications under osmotic...

The influence of two carbon sources, sorbitol and sucrose on In vitro shoot proliferation and rooting of peach rootstock GF 677 was compared at 15, 30, 45 and 60 g l concentrations. The highest number of shoots per proliferated explant, usable shoots and shoots having maximum fresh weight were obtained on sorbitol at 30 g l. GF 677 does not seem to be an efficient utilizer of sucrose for In vit...
