A second order rotatable design was used to obtain polynomial equations describing the effects of combinations of sulfur dioxide (SO(2)) and ozone (O(3)) on foliar injury and plant growth. The response surfaces derived from these equations were displayed as contour or isometric (3-dimensional) plots. The contour plots aided in the interpretation of the pollutant interactions and were judged eas...

Calcium water treatment residue (Ca-WTR), an industrial by-product, was found to be effective in decreasing Cu availability in contaminated soils and transport to the environment. In this study, a greenhouse study was conducted to test the ability of Ca-WTR to reduce the toxicity and uptake of Cu by ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) as indicator crop plants in Cu-cont...

Endogenous levels of cyclic adenosine-3':5'-monophosphate in coleoptile first leaf segments of oat (Avena sativa L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers, tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) callus, and germinating seeds of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) were measured with a modified Gilman binding assay and a protein kinase activation assay. The incorporation of adenosine-8-(14)C into compounds with ...

The study of fungal-bacterial interactions in soils is not only interesting from a basic point of view but has also yielded findings of societal and economical relevance, such as in the application of biological controls of plant diseases. This study evaluated the effect of Tsukamurella paurometabola C 924, a bacterium with nematocidal action isolated from banana rhizosphere, as single inoculan...

The seeds of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Grand Rapids) germinate in darkness at 25 C when treated by gibberellic acid (GA(3)) for 1 hour following 2 hours of imbibition. The time of GA(3) application influences the rate and the final percentage of seeds that germinate. In contrast, red light illumination given at different times affects only the rate and not the final germination percentage....

The experiment was conducted in one of the unheated plastic polyethylene (PE) greenhouses Ege University- Bayındır Vocational Training School -TURKİYE during winter-early spring 2019-2020. goal trial to evaluate effects liquid vermicompost (LVC) on Iceberg (Head salad) and Lolo rosso (Lactuca sativa) lettuce a floating hydroponic system. Two types growing pools were used as media, made galvaniz...

Secondary metabolites produced by plants can be used in popular medicine, as well they can interact with plants and other organisms, in which case they are called allelochemicals and influence the neighboring ecosystem. This work aimed to evaluate the allelopathic effects of Schinus molle L. species widely used in reforestation and urban afforestation. Therefore, leaves of S. Molle were collect...
