Potamogeton nodosus tubers produce floating-type instead of submersed-type leaves when exposed to 10(-5) molar synthetic abscisic acid. Abscisic acid-induced leaves have stomata on upper leaf surfaces and higher width/length ratios than controls. These effects are wholly or partially overcome by simultaneous exposure to abscisic acid combined with gibberellic acid, kinetin, or benzyladenine.

in order to evaluate the genetic diversity and identify quantitative trait loci(qtl) controlling agro-morphological triats such as leaf length, leaf width, leaf number, internode distance, dried leaf yield per plot, plant height and stem girth, the genetic population including 225 f 2:3 families from the cross between two oriental-type tobacco genotypes ‘spt 406 (paternal) × basma seres 31 (mat...

Festuca L. comprises perennial herbs and about 450 species. It belongs to the tribe Poeae R. Br. (= Festucaceae Dumort), subfamily Pooideae of Poaceae. These species are different in leaf size, life duration and lamina width. The genus is divided into two groups based on lamina width: fine-leaved and broad-leaved. In this study, leaf anatomy of F. akhanii, F. elwendiana,F. heterophylla, F. sulc...

background: considering differences in head size and shape of different equine breeds, biometric parameters can be an attribute to a particular race. objectives: the purpose of the present paper is to give a numerical definition of morphological characteristics of head region of the darehshori horse. methods: twenty mature darehshori horses were studied biometrically. the ear length, ears dista...

background and aim: it is well - known that sex hormones regulate bone metabolism. sex steroids increase osteoblasts activities and affect growth, remodeling and bone homeostasis. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of sex hormones deficiency on craniofacial growth in rats. methods & materials: fifty, thirty–day–old wistar rats comprised the sample in this experimental study. 25 ma...

Background & Aim: This experiment investigated the effect of foliar application of methanol and ethanol on the biomass yield of medicinal plant Echinacea purpurea. Purple coneflower is an herbaceous perennial in the Asteraceae family that is used in therapy of respiratory tract infection and bacterial otitis. Experimental: This experiment was conducted in randomized complete ...

Leaf lateral asymmetry in width and thickness has been reported previously in rice. However, the differences between the wide and narrow sides of leaf blade in other leaf morphological and physiological traits were not known. This study was conducted to quantify leaf lateral asymmetry in leaf width, leaf thickness, specific leaf weight (SLW), leaf nitrogen (N) concentration based on dry weight ...

The research aimed to produce new genotypes by hybridization. It was conducted in the Ornamental Plants Research Center of Mahallat from 2016 to 2018. Four varieties of gladiolus including Amsterdam, White Prosperity, Advance Red and Rose Supreme were chosen for hybridization. The progenies were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The highest heritability in...

carbon dioxide (co2) concentration of the global atmosphere has increased during the last decades. increasing global atmospheric co2 concentrations are expected to influence on plants. coleus is an ornamental plants, that is due to its attractive foliage are considered. in order to evolution of high co2 concentration effects on rooting. morphological and anatomical traits in two coleus spices (...
