Micrografting can be used to produce healthy seedlings, assess scion-rootstock compatibility and promote precocity. The first objective of this project was to study the impacts of in vitro micropropagation of four major Iranian pistachio cultivars, namely ‘Ahmad Aghaei’, ‘Akbari’, ‘Badami Sefid’ and ‘Kalle Ghochi’ in two different medium Murashige and Skoog (MS) and Driver and Kuniyuki...

Effect of gibberellic acid on marigold (Calendula Officinalis L.) was evaluated in a pot culture experiment. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design including 12 treatments and four replications was carried out. Main factor was foliar application stages (first, second and third) and sub factor included different concentrations of GA3 (0, 50, 150 and 250 mg L...

the present study has been undertaken in a laboratory scale to characterize and investigate pollution potential of textile effluents from depz area in dhaka, bangladesh. collected effluent samples from five different industries were analyzed for physico-chemical parameters using field kits and standard methods, and for metals using flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer (faas). the average p...

the effects of sodium chloride and zn rates and sources on the growth and chemical composition of lowland rice (oryza sativa l.) were studied using calcareous soil in a greenhouse experiment. the treatments comprised 5 levels of nacl (0, 12.5, 25, 37.5 and 50 mmol kg-1 soil), three zn rates (0, 5 and 10 mg kg-1 soil) and two zn sources (znso4, 2h2o and znedta). applied salinity decreased shoot ...

Phytostabilization aims to reduce environmental and health risks arising from contaminated soil. To be economically attractive, plants used for phytostabilization should produce valuable biomass. This study investigated the biomass production and metal allocation to foliage and wood of willow (Salix viminalis L.), poplar (Populus monviso), birch (Betula pendula), and oak (Quercus robur) on five...

to evaluate the effects of various concentration of carbon dioxide and salinity stress on morphophysiological characteristics of amaranthus tricolor l. an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions in faculity of agriculture ferdowsi university of mashhad. the experiment was split plot based on completely randomized design with three levels of co2 (380, 700, 1050 µl/l) and three concentr...

The quest for new, promising and indigenous plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria and a deeper understanding of their relationship with plants are important considerations in the improvement of phytoremediation. This study focuses on the screening of plant beneficial Cu/Zn-resistant strains and assessment of their bioremediation potential (metal solubilization/tolerance/biosorption and effects o...
