cold stress is one of the limiting factors in production of greenhouse vegetables. chemicals offer useful approach to reduce low temperature-induced damages. this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar application of methyl jasmonate (meja) at concentrations of 0 (control), 50, 100, 200 µm) on electrolyte leakage (el), relative water content (rwc), soluble carbohydrates, proline, ...

this experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of ordinary and nano-particles of zinc oxide on the response of corn to salinity. treatments included two corn genotypes (seed mass and sc 704), three spray levels (zinc oxide, nano-sized zinc oxide, and a spray of water treatment) and three salinity levels (0, 75 and 150 mm nacl). shoot dry matter was decrease...

zagros (drought tolerant) and pishtaz (drought susceptible) cultivars were classified on the basis of shoot dry weight and were used as plant material in this study. total chlorophyll, carotenoids, antocyanins, proline, soluble sugar contents, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activities and protein patterns were determined. seedlings of wheat genotypes were grown in nutrient solution cult...

Nitric oxide (NO) production and amino acid metabolism modulation, in particular abscisic acid (ABA)-dependent proline accumulation, are stimulated in planta by most abiotic stresses. However, the relationship between NO production and proline accumulation under abiotic stress is still poorly understood, especially in the early phases of plant development. To unravel this question, this work in...

tobacco is a salt-sensitive glycophyte crop species. in this work effect of silicone (si) supplementation (1 mm as na2sio3) was studied in nicotiana rustica l. cv. basmas grown hydroponically in growth chamber under control, low (25 mm) and high (75 mm) nacl concentration for two weeks. dry matter production of leaves was depressed by salinity level as low as 25 mm and higher salt concentration...

African marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) is one of the most well-known ornamental, medicinal and edible flowers in world. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 20 treatments 3 replications, 60 plots 5 plants per plot were conducted order to investigate effect amino acids growth, nutritional parameters antioxidant capacity marigold. Experimental included two cultivars (‘Y...

among the environmental stresses, salinity is a major limiting factor in world legumes production is considered. in this study, sodium chloride and salicylic acid interaction on growth parameters were investigated in greenhouse with factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications. the plant consisted of three cultivars of lentil (kimiya, kermanshah and gachsara...
