In the present study, the effect of different plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) like Azospirillum brasilense and Pseudomonas fluorescens on growth parameters and the production of terpenoid indole alkaloids are investigated in two varieties ‘rosea’ and ‘alba’ of Catharanthus roseus. The production of IAA by the PGPR has taken as main criteria in the selection of PGPRs for the seed and...

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...

Objective: In order to investigate effects of different concentration of gibberlic acid (GA3), kentin and Putrescinepoly amine, on germination of three cultivars of wheat under salinity stress. Methods: The experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replicates in laboratory of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, department of agriculture in Islamic Azad Uni...

The effect of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on seed germination, seedling growth and yield of field grown maize were evaluated in three experiments. In these experiments six bacterial strains include P.putida strain R-168, P.fluorescens strain R-93, P.fluorescens DSM 50090, P.putida DSM291, A.lipoferum DSM 1691, A.brasilense DSM 1690 were used. Results of first study showed seed I...

Seed of a Mexican semidwarf wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Inia 66), was obtained from a nitrogen fertilizer field trial grown in Mexico. A high positive correlation was obtained between seed protein content and seedling dry weight after 3 weeks growth (r = +0.92(**)). The seedling dry weight was positively related to the protein content of the aleurone layer and endosperm, but not to the embr...

in order to evaluate the morphological changes of rice seedlings (variety of neda and fajr) under salinity management in 1394 was conducted in islamic azad university, ayatollah amoli. this factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two genotypes (varieties neda and fajr) in four salinity levels (zero, 40, 80 and 120 mm sodium chloride) and was performed in triplicate. results ...

Cold temperature is an important abiotic stress affecting sorghum production in temperate regions. It reduces seed germination, seedling emergence and seedling vigor thus limiting the production of the crop both temporally and spatially. The objectives of this study were (1) to assess early season cold temperature stress response of sorghum germplasm from cooler environments and identify source...

The results of present investigation revealed that among the different potting media treatments, M1: Vermiculite + Garden soil Sand was found to be most beneficial for improving took days germination, germination percentage, height seedling, number leaves seedling-1, stem diameter, primary roots length (cm), secondary roots, fresh and dry shoots weight, seed vigor index – I II leaf area (cm). I...
