Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is an essential signaling molecule that mediates plant responses against several biotic and abiotic stresses. H2O2 pretreatment has emerged as a signaling way, inducing salt stress acclimation in plants. Here, we analyzed the effects of H2O2 leaf pretreatment on the non-enzymatic defense system (ascorbate and glutathione), plant growth, relative water content (RWC), rel...

The effects of different concentrations of Zinc oxide nano particles (ZnONP; 0, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg L-1) and Humic acid (HA; 0, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 mg L-1) on root length and number, leaf length and number, bulb diameter, and chlorophyll, total phenol, anthocyanin and flavonoid contents were examined under in vitro conditions. Total phenol, flavonoid and anthocyanin contents were signif...

Canopy reflectance model inversions are widely used for estimation of vegetation properties from remote sensing, but the inversion accuracy needs significant improvements. In recent years, applications of the genetic algorithms (GA) to a variety of optimization problems in remote sensing have been successfully demonstrated. The present study is focused on the GA based inversion approach of radi...

The objective of this experiment was to study of water relations and chlorophyll in different wheat genotypes and their correlations with grain and biological yields. 21 genotypes of bread wheat were compared in a field experiment as randomized complete blocks design with four replications. The results showed that relative water deficit, relative water loss, excised leaf water retention, cell m...

A field-portable tool for nondestructive foliar anthocyanin content estimation would be beneficial to researchers in many areas of plant science. An existing commercial chlorophyll content meter was modified to measure an index of anthocyanin content. The ability of the experimental anthocyanin meter (ACM) to estimate total extractable anthocyanin content was tested in sugar maple (Acer sacchar...

cold is one of the most important abiotic stresses in some regions of iran. to investigate of some tolerance related traits to cold condition, 22 bread wheat genotypes planted in ardabil region in 1980. after plants passed winter cold condition (135 freezing days), cell membrane stability, chlorophyll content of leaf and crown depth and grain yield of genotypes were measured. anova analysis sho...

Photosynthetic rates, chlorophyll content, and activities of several photosynthetic enzymes were determined per cell, per unit DNA, and per unit leaf area in five ploidal levels of the C(4) dicot Atriplex confertifolia. Volumes of bundle sheath and mesophyll protoplasts were measured in enzymatic digestions of leaf tissue. Photosynthetic rates per cell, contents of DNA per cell, and activities ...

Chlorophyll levels in l-cm sections of the youngest fully expanded leaves of normal (Y) Festuca pratensis L. declined almost to zero over a period of 6 days after excision. Chlorophyll in a mutant genotype (NY) remained near the initial level for the whole of this period. Abscisic acid promoted pigment loss in Y but had no significant effect on chlorophyll in NY. Kinetin retarded pigment loss i...
