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...

Zinc has previously been reported to alleviate salinity stress in plants. In this study, we monitored various biomass and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters to determine the optimum zinc sulfate concentration that can be used as foliar spray to alleviate salinity stress in Glycine soja. The plants subjected to a series of salinity levels (NaCl concentration of 0, 100, 200, and 300 mmol L), app...

Accurate estimation of terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) remains a challenge despite its importance in the global carbon cycle. Chlorophyll fluorescence (ChlF) has been recently adopted to understand photosynthesis and its response to the environment, particularly with remote sensing data. However, it remains unclear how ChlF and photosynthesis are linked at different spatial scales ...

this research was carried on in order to investigate the response of wheat cultivars to salinity tension as factorial experiment and in complete randomized block design in four replications in islamic azad university shoushtar branch. in this experiment the response of nine wheat cultivars including chamran, karchia66, mahoti, roshan, alvand, kavir, ghods, atrak and tjan at vegetative growth st...

Knowledge of regulatory mechanism of plant photosynthesis under sink-limitation occurring under various environmental conditions is still insufficient. In the present study, two different degrees of sink-limitation were imposed on soybean plants by removing either half or all developing pods and after that, photosynthetic rate and various other characteristics were investigated in fully expande...

1. We evaluated the potential for three species of deciduous-forest herbs to exploit seasonal periods of direct irradiance. In particular, we investigated the importance of photosynthetic acclimation as a mechanism for shade-tolerant herbs to utilize direct light reaching the forest floor before canopy expansion in the spring and after canopy leaf drop in the autumn. 2. We measured the photosyn...

The leaf chlorophyll content is one of the most important factors for the growth of winter wheat. Visual and near-infrared sensors are a quick and non-destructive testing technology for the estimation of crop leaf chlorophyll content. In this paper, a new approach is developed for leaf chlorophyll content estimation of winter wheat based on visible and near-infrared sensors. First, the sliding ...

The effects of low and high relative humidity and of polyethylene glycol-induced root water stress on chlorophyll accumulation, on formation of the lamellar chlorophyll-protein complexes, and on the development of photosynthetic activity during chloroplast differentiation were examined. Low relative humidity or polyethylene glycol-induced root water stress (stress conditions) resulted in a 3 to...
