In order to study the germination and growth of pepper seeds, a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications was conducted. The first factor was consisting of five cultivars of pepper (Marquiza, Cadia, California Wonder, California Wonder 310 and California Wonder 300) and the second factor was gibberellic acid with three levels (0 as control, 250 and 500...

Drought cause yield loss of soybean production is the major reason to yield losing of soybean. To improve the germination and growth of soybean seeds under drought stress; We studied the effect of the single walled carbon nanotubes (SwCNTs) material in seed germination and the physiological changes occurred under drought condition, performed SwCNTs treatments in soybean (Zhonghuang 35) seeds at...

understanding of wheat root system is important in dryland conditions. root development, important factor in wheat production under water limiting conditions, can be affected by environmental factors especially nitrogen fertilizer. a field experiment was carried out to study the nitrogen rates and application times on root morphology of three rainfed wheat genotypes, using a split-splitplot bas...

Strawberry is considered as a salinity sensitive species and is adversely affected in response to the salt stress in terms of growth and yield. Pot experiments were conducted to determine the effect of exogenous salicylic acid (SA) application on physiology, growth, chlorophyll and mineral content of strawberry grown under salt stress and greenhouse conditions. Strawberry plants were treated wi...

Bougainvillea (Bougainvilleaspectabilis) is used for planting in the landscape because of their beautiful and colorful flowers. The easiest and cheapest technique to propagate this plant is by cuttings; however the cuttings of this plant are not easily rooted and require the special treatments, including the use of auxin. For this purpose, an experiment was performed in Completely Rand...

Present study deals with the isolation and characterization of desiccation tolerant bacteria Micrococcus luteus-chp37 from rhizosphere of plant growing in the Cholistan desert of Pakistan. To check the desiccation tolerance, strain was incubated at various levels of relative humidity (5, 27 and 100%) for a period of 6, 12 and 18 days. The surviving fractions of M. luteus-chp37 after 18 days of ...

In a pot experiment Ricinus communis plants were cultivated in quartz sand and supplied daily with a nutrient solution which contained 4 mol m(-3) nitrate as the nitrogen source and either full strength potassium (1.3 mol m(-3), control) or 8% potassium (0.1 mol m(-3), K(+)-limitation). Although the final fresh weight of the whole plant was not affected by K(+)-limitation, the root-shoot ratio ...

abstract in this study a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of acc deaminase enzyme on alleviation of salinity stress of canola plant. canola plants were exposed to pseudomonas fluorescens strain p12 which contains a rhizobacter capable of producing pseudomonas fluorescens in comparison with plants exposed to mutant pm12 unable to produce the required enzyme. the mutant wa...
