To study the effects of both drought stress and seed zinc and iron concentrations on the photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence, and proline and carbohydrate accumulations in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. M9) leaf, a split plot experiment was carried out in 2012 based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in greenhouse conditions at Yasouj University. Drought str...

Iron deficiency is a serious problem around the world, especially in developing countries. The production of iron-biofortified rice will help ameliorate this problem. Previously, expression of the iron storage protein, ferritin, in rice using an endosperm-specific promoter resulted in a two-fold increase in iron concentration in the resultant transgenic seeds. However, further over expression o...

Background and Objectives: In the original in vitro method for evaluation of iron bioavailability using caco-2 cell model, ferritin formation by cells is considered as a functional indicator of both absorption and utilization of iron. However, as iron is measured in the tested material and then ferritin concentration is measured in caco-2 cell lysate, it is almost impossible to have a concrete ...

The application of iron and copper in combination with Rhizobium was studied with on the growth of Vignamungo(L.).The Vignamungo(L.) seeds were grown in different concentrations (0, 30, 60 and 90ppm) of iron and copper individually in natural conditions. This study has shown that copper and iron metal ions have stimulatory effects on plant growth at low concentration but it turns toxic at high ...

in order to evaluate the effects of irrigation levels and foliar application with fe and zn on quantitative and qualitative traits of red bean, an experiment was designed as split plot based on a completely randomized block design with three replications in lordegan country in summer 2011. irrigation as the main plot at three level such on: irrigation after 50, 75 and 100 mm evaporation, and fo...

in order to evaluation the effects of different soil fertility systems on chickpea seed quality, field experiments were carried out in sanandaj agriculture research station of iran in 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. experimental units were arranged in split-split plots based on randomized complete blocks with three replications. green manure levels considered main plots, base fertilizer compound...
