Pyrethrum is a perennial daisy grown commercially for the insecticide that is extracted from its flowers. In order to evaluate germination and seedling growth of pyrethrum under different temperature and drought stress treatments, an experiment was conducted in seed technology laboratory of Faculty of Agriculture of Islamic Azad University of Isfahan branch in 2018. During this experiment, poly...

several plant growth regulators are used to improve the quality of cut flower in bulb plants, but their effectiveness depends on genotype and plant growth conditions such as nutrition status. a pot experiment was conducted under farm condition to study benzyl adenine (ba) and potassium nitrate interaction on floret diameter, stem diameter, flower height, flower number per bulb, fresh and dry we...

this research was conducted to assay the effect of different levels of irrigation on morphological and physicochemical characteristics of three cultivars of basil (ocimum basilicum l.), in ferdowsi university of mashhad, 2012. the pot experiment was performedas a factorial based on randomized complete design with four replications. the factors included three commercial cultivars of basil (comin...

The change in the carotenoid and bioantioxidant content of tomato as a function of varietal and technological factors was investigated in the present work. No great differences were found between cultivars for fresh consumption (salad tomatoes) and those for processing in ascorbic acid content. The concentration of ascorbic acid ranged between 14.6 and 21.7 mg/100 g fresh weight of ripe tomato ...

The aim of the study was to develop an efficient and cost-effective method for fatty acids lycopene separation from Gac aril by using flash extraction. extraction efficiency (EE) investigated. When 22 mL anhydrous ethanol per gram solid agitated at 3,000 rpm (revolutions minute) 100 s, highest EE reached 88.48%, then 98.27% achieved after saponification refining. After acid extraction, extracte...

Large changes in indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels occur during growth of Lemna gibba G-3 in sterile culture. The levels of IAA were measured in plants during a 45 day growth cycle using HPLC and isotope dilution analysis followed by selected ion current monitoring GC-MS analysis with (13)C(6)-IAA as the internal standard. Even though the rate of plant growth remained constant over the entire g...

Nodulated soybean plants (Glycine max [L.] Merr) were grown in sand culture without combined N or with a continuous supply of nitrate in nutrient solution. Moderate nitrate concentration (30 milligrams N per liter) had little effect on nodule weight/plant while high nitrate concentration (100 milligrams N per liter) depressed nodule weight/plant by 70 to 80% with harvests 30 to 60 days after pl...
