low temperature is one of main factors limiting distribution of woody plants. in order to evaluate the resistance of 4-years old seedlings and adult trees of maclura pomifera to freezing stress, a factorial experiment was carried out based on completely randomized design with three replications in the faculty of agriculture, university of tehran. during 2012-2013 sampling were done from the ann...

a pot experiment was carried out to determine the effect of foliage spraying of silicon (si) on growth and ornamental characteristics of calendula grown under salt stress and greenhouse conditions. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design was conducted with 3 levels of si (0, 50 and 100 mg/l) and 3 levels of nacl (0, 100 and 200 mm) with 4 replications. at flowering stage, s...

abstract turf grass as a main grown cover plant has a unique place in green space planning. in order to study the effect of hydrogel and paclobutrazol on water requirement of turfgrasse (lolium perenne l. barbal) a factorial experiment based on a brcd with 3 replication was conducted in the summer of 2010 in mashhad. the factors under study were 4 levels of hydrogel (0, 3, 6, 9 gr/kg soil), 3 l...

in this study, the effect of drought and different concentrations of silicon was examined on seed yield, essential oil percentage and physio-chemicals properties in fennel plant. the experimental design was a split plot with three irrigation regimes: irrigation at 100, 70 and 40 percent of fc comprising the main treatments, and five levels of silicon foliar sprays (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mm) as ...

Water and nitrogen are two of the most important factors for plant growth and development. However, little is known about effects of N on water translocation between connected bamboo ramets. We performed experiment connected Indocalamus decorus ramets in adjacent pots with different soil water contents and three N levels. We determined antioxidase activities, concentration of osmotic adjustment...

nitric oxide (no) is a bioactive molecule, which was found to have several physiological roles, including antioxidant. to have a better understanding of the effects of no concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.2 mm) on germination, growth, photosynthetic pigments, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) under different salinity concentrations (0, 100 and 200 mm of nacl)...

frost in early spring is one of the limiting factors in the production of grape. chemicals offer useful approach to reduce low temperature-induced damages. different concentrations of salicylic acid including: 0 (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mm were sprayed twice on 10 year-old ‘bidaneh sefid’ grape vines at full bloom stage and changes in leaf soluble carbohydrates, proline and protein levels were m...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a bioactive molecule, which was found to have several physiological roles, including antioxidant. To have a better understanding of the effects of NO concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.2 mM) on germination, growth, photosynthetic pigments, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under different salinity concentrations (0, 100 and 200 mM of NaCl)...

In order to evaluate the effects of potassium nitrate nutrition on some low temperature tolerance indices in Citrus aurantium seedlings a factorial experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with four replications at the Institute of Citrus Research in Ramsar. Treatments were potassium nitrate nutrition at four levels (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 mM) and temperature at four levels (...
