In order to investigate chitosan and magnesium-nano fertilizers’ impact on photosynthetic pigments, protein, proline, and soluble sugar contents of sesame under irrigation cut-off treatment, a split-factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized blocks with three replications. Irrigation cut-off based on BBCH sca...

This study was conducted to determine effect of water stress on chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter in young `Dezful’ olive trees. Three irrigation regimes (40% ETcrop, 65% ETcrop and 100% ETcrop) were used. After irrigation treatments were applied, some of biochemical parameters including chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, chlorophyll fluorescence and also chlorophyll ...

The chlorophyll precursors protochlorophyllide and chlorophyllide were identified in purified envelope membranes from spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplasts. This was shown after pigment separation by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using specific fluorescence detection for these compounds. Protochlorophyllide and chlorophyllide concentrations in envelope membranes were in the r...

Enicostemma littorale Blume is a medicinal plant commonly called as whitehead. Traditionally, the plant is used in the treatment of large number of human ailments such as in hypoglycemic, lowering the blood glucose level, as a potent anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity. Currently, the scientific research is going on to prove its medicinal value. Hence, to evaluate the phytoconstituents and t...

trr14 is a novel protein important in trehalose (α-d-glucosyl-[1,1]-α-d-glucopyranoside) signaling in arabidopsis. in this research, we provided evidences to demonstrate that trr14 plays role in arabidopsis responses to salt and drought stress. the transgenic arabidopsis plants over-expressing trr14 under the control of camv 35s promoter were generated. transformed lines showed higher transcrip...

a greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of mycorrhial fungus (glomus mosseae) on cadmium (cd) toxicity in pepper (capsicum annuum l. cv. zhongjiao 105) plants. half of plants were inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf). cd was supplied in the form of cadmium chloride at 0.0, 0.1 and 0.5 mm through irrigation water in the soil. mycorrhizal colonization was hi...

Parameters, such as oil, protein, glucosinolates, chlorophyll content and fatty acid composition, were determined using reference methods for both harvest survey samples and Canadian Canola exports. Canola harvest survey and export data were assessed to evaluate if canola harvest survey data can be extrapolated to predict the quality of the Canadian canola exports. There were some differences i...
