application of biofertilizers is a crucial technique for reducing catastrophic effects of irregular utilization of chemical fertilizers. this experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of rhizobium strains and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on dry matter partitioning and some growth parameters of chickpea (cicer arientinum l.), arman cultivar. this research was conducted as...

Net photosynthesis was measured under field conditions in 23-year-old slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm. var. elliottii) trees to determine how it was affected by fertilization and climate. There was only a small decrease in rates of net photosynthesis from late summer through winter demonstrating that appreciable carbon gain occurs throughout the year in slash pine. Although fertilization sub...

The mass transfer rate of (14)C-sucrose translocation from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris, L.) leaves was measured over a range of net photosynthesis rates from 0 to 60 milligrams of CO(2) decimeters(-2) hour(-1) under varying conditions of light intensity, CO(2) concentration, and O(2) concentration. The resulting rate of translocation of labeled photosynthate into total sink tissue was a linear fu...

sesamol is a sesame lignan. sesame lignans have multiple functions, including antioxidant activity and also seem to have potential as a source of phytostrogens. this study was condncted to evaluate sesamol contents of 7 brands of iranian sesame seeds (sesamum indicume l.). the brands were named karaj 29, darab 14, ultan, dezful, varamin, branching naz, and nonbranching naz. after method validat...

The responsiveness to ethylene of net photosynthesis and stomatal conductance to water vapor in intact plants was investigated in 13 herbaceous species representing seven plant families. Exposures were conducted in an open, whole-plant exposure system providing controlled levels of irradiance, air temperature, CO(2), relative humidity, and ethylene concentration. Net photosynthesis and stomatal...

The purpose of this research was to determine the magnitude of photorespiration in field-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) as a function of environmental and plant-related factors. Photorespiration rates were estimated as the difference between measured gross and net photosynthetic rates.A linear increase in photorespiration was observed as air temperature increased from 22 to 40 degrees C a...

The effects of 2 nitrate levels, 14 (CK) and 140 mmol L (T), on the leaf gas exchange variables of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Xintaimici) seedlings grown in hydroponic culture were investigated. Photosynthetic lightand CO2-response curves from CK and T seedlings were determined and used for the analysis of photosynthetic capacity. The results showed that nitrate stress resulted in a signi...
