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...

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...

Drought is one of the most important environmental factors limiting the cultivation of ornamental plants in the green space. The effects of spermidine and salicylic acid on hollyhock (Alcea rosea L.)under drought stress were investigated. At first, the plants were sprayed with 3 doses of spermidine and 3 doses of salicylic acid (control, 100, 200 and 400 μM) for three consecut...

drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting the survival and growth of plants in the different habitats of iran. detailed knowledge about the ecophysiological responses of native plants to drought stress could contribute to the success of breeding and re-vegetation programs. six wild populations of anthemis tinctoria, were assigned to four drought treatments, i.e. well-watered ...

The impact of water stress on antioxidant enzyme activities, proline, soluble sugars, and carotenoids contents found in Digitaria commutata Cenchrus ciliaris plants was investigated. Two different watering regimes were used over a period three months. Water decreased total chlorophyll content plants, but increased content. Interestingly, no change observed the quantum yield PSII photochemistry ...

Zinc is a minor micronutrient that also involved in carbohydrate, protein synthesis metabolisms. The present study was carried out to analyze response DNSA, proline, and MDA (Malondialdehit) responses the form of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) Pisum sativum, for period 21st 35th days. Two P. sativum (Maro Tarım Kars) were used as material presence 0.8 ppm 1.8 ZnO nanoparticulate. length bio...

introduction safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) is an important oilseed crop grown throughout the semiarid regions in many parts of the world. it has been cultivated for its oil and flowers and as a meal. alkaline stress is caused by alkaline salts such as na2co3 or nahco3 in the soil. alkaline stress, is widespread environmental constraint affecting crop productivity ,which can inhibit absorp...
