This study was conducted to investigate the effect of altitudinal gradients on  the anatomy of Salvia limbata C.A.Mey. (Lamiaceae). . The S. limbata species were collected from their natural habitats from various regions of West Azerbaijan province in Iran. The thickness of cuticle, collenchymas, phloem, xylem and pith of stem and leaf thickness were measured. Moreover, width, length and number...

field trials with spathiphyllum wallisii regel were conducted at the experimental farm of faculty of agriculture, university azad jiroft in 2012 growth seasons. the aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with benzyladenine (ba) at 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg.l-1 and gibberellic acid (ga3) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.l-1 on the vegetative growth constituents of spathiphyllumplants. mo...

Adaptation of plants under drought and salinity stress depends directly on the type of soil texture. Therefore, in this research, the morpho-physiological variations of Stachys multicaulis, an Iranian wild endemic plant species, were investigated in different soil textures under drought and salinity stress. For this purpose, plants were cultivated in three different light, medium and h...

Tomato (Lycpoersicum esculemtum) belongs to the Solanaceae potato family and is an important crop plant. It is relatively resistant to salinity, but in the saline environment growth and production of the plant significantly reduces. On the other hand, the presence of mycorrhiza fungus can improve the adverse effects of salinity. A factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with thre...

late-season drought is the major constraint reducing the productivity of chickpea. this experiment was carried out to study response of root and shoot characteristics in 12 chickpea genotypes to drought stress. two-drought stress levels (-3 and -6 bar) induced by peg 6000 and control in hydroponic condition at green house was performed. leaf relative water content (rwc), plant height, number of...

gladiolus (gladiolus grandiflorus l.), a popular bulbous cut flower, has high demand in both domestic (pakistani) as well as international markets. five potential, exotic cultivars of gladiolus, ‘cantate’, ‘corveira’, ‘eminence’, ‘essential’ and ‘fado’ were evaluated to determine the cultivar effects on yield and quality, to compare their relative performance and recommend their suitability for...

in order to comparison the foliar application of biological, biostimulator and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics and yield of saffron, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with four replication in 3- year field of saffron in dargaz, khorasan razavi province from 2010 to 2011. the first factor had 5 levels included biostimulator fertilizer bio...
