The objective of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of leaf and different parts of fruit (hull, shell, and kernel) of Bene in Ilam province. Total phenolic content was determined with the Folin- Ciocalteu Reagent (FCR); antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts were examined by DPPH (2,2diphenyl- 1- picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant pow...

The effects of lead on the proline content and dry weight of leaves and roots were investigated in two canola cultivars (Brassica napus L.) grown in the Hoagland solution. The growth of treated plants was inhibited under lead stress. Lead induced differential accumulation of proline in canola grown in solution with the addition of 0, 100 and 200 mgL-1 of Pb. Hyola308 cultivar showed low biomass...

in order to study the role of photosynthetic tissues on grain filling and remobilization of stem reserves under terminal drought, a pot experiment as semi-field was conducted as two-factor factorial in complete randomized design with three replicates at research farm of agriculture college of vali – e – asr university of rafsanjan during january to june 2012 . first factor was source strength r...

topping stage of tobacco is a key time for development of agriculture measures to promote the quality of leaves. in order to investigating influence of topping timing and suckericide content on tobacco leaf, a factorial experiment on the basis of rcb design with 3 replications was conducted in 2011 at the tobacco research farm of isfahan. treatments were including topping time (t1: topping at e...

in order to study the interrelations of photosynthetic rate and surfaces and leaf proline content with yield and yield components of safflower under different irrigation regimes, a field experiment in a split plot arrangement under a ranomized complete block design with four replication was performed at lavark reasrch farm, isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran in 2007. two irrigation...

objective: evaluation activity was conducted using three spearmint genotypes (wg-spm-engl, spm-fran and spm-eas) and one standard check (wgsm-03) at wondo genet, awassa, debre zeit and allagae during 2012 and 2013 for two years. methods: the treatments were arranged in randomized complete block design with four replications. data on leaf to stem ratio, leaf yield/ha, essential oil content and e...

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and validate an image analysis method for quantitative analysis of barakol content in Senna siamea leaf extract. Methods: TLC-densitometric and TLC-image analysis methods were developed, validated, and used for quantitative analysis of Senna siamea leaf extract. The results obtained by these two different quantification methods were compared by pa...

The effects of night temperature on plant morphology and nitrogen accumulation were examined in rice (Oryza sativa L.) during vegetative growth. The results showed that the shoot biomass of the plants was greater at 27°C (high nighttime temperature, HNT) than at 22°C (CK). However, the increase in both shoot and root biomasses was not significant under 10 mg N/L. The shoot nitrogen concentratio...

The objective of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of leaf and different parts of fruit (hull, shell, and kernel) of Bene in Ilam province. Total phenolic content was determined with the FolinCiocalteu Reagent (FCR); antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts were examined by DPPH (2,2diphenyl1picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) an...

The sizes and shapes (physiognomy) of fossil leaves are widely applied as proxies for paleoclimatic and paleoecological variables. However, significant improvements to leaf-margin analysis, used for nearly a century to reconstruct mean annual temperature (MAT), have been elusive; also, relationships between physiognomy and many leaf ecological variables have not been quantified. Using the recen...
