A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of foliar spray of salicylic acid (0, 50, 100 ppm), ascorbic acid (0, 100, 200 ppm) and thiamine (0, 50, 100 ppm) on vegetative growth, flowering and photosynthetic pigments of marigold (Calendula officinalis L.) plants at greenhouse of SB University of Kerman, Iran. Results showed that application of salicylic acid and thiamine inc...

the effect of different concentration of salicylic acid (0, 1 and 2 mmoll-1) and chitosan (0, 0.5 and 1 percent) on postharvest life and quality of selva strawberry fruit during storage at 2.5±0.5°c with 85-95% rh for 7 and 14 days was studied. decay incidence, marketability, total soluble solids, total acidity, vitamin c content and total antioxidant activity were evaluated during storage. chi...

the effects of bio-priming with different isolates of biological agent of trichoderma spp. and pseudomonas fluorescens on morphological and physiological characteristics of a bean cultivar (yaas) as well as their effects on controlling of rhizoctonia solani were investigated in two separate experiments. in the first experiment, different isolates of trichoderma including trichoderma harzianum b...

in order to study effects of exogenous application salicylic acid on morphological and physiological characteristics of wheat (shirazcultivar) under soil and water salinity in the neyriz city, an experiment was conducted in year 2009-2010 by factorial exprement in a completely randomized blocks design with four replications. treatment consisted of three levels of priming with salicylic acid (0‚...

salicylic acid (sa) plays a key role in plant disease resistance and hyper-sensitive cell death but is also implicated in hardening responses to abiotic stress. the aim of this study is to examine the effects of salicylic acid on the growth, eco-physiological and biochemical characteristics in zinnia elegans plant exposed to copper stress. effects of copper (cu) on biomass, root length and shoo...

background & aim: marigold or calendula officinalis l. is a annual herb belongs to the asteraceae family.  marigold is a valuable medicinal plant which is used in pharmaceutical industry.  in addition, this plant is cultivated as an ornamental plant. aim of current study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of jasmonic acid (ja), and salicylic acid (sa) on phytochemical pr...

Salicylic acid-deficient NahG transgenic lines and sid2 mutants were used to evaluate the role of this compound in the development of the short-lived, annual plant Arabidopsis thaliana, with a particular focus on the interplay between salicylic acid and other phytohormones. Low salicylic acid levels led to increased growth, as well as to smaller abscisic acid levels and reduced damage to PSII (...
