determination of chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence has the potential needed to analyze the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants against environmental stresses, especially salinity, and its simplicity facilitates stress evaluation. in order to study the response of different photosynthetic characters to salinity stress at different sugar beet growth stages, two separate experime...

stress management is considered as an important factor in nowadays landscape. therefore this research was conducted using a factorial experiment based on a randomized completely design with regulated deficit irrigation at four levels (100, 75, 50, and 25% of lawn irrigation requirement) and three replicates to evaluate some biochemical and physiological traits on four groundcover plants (lolium...

Effect of gibberellic acid on marigold (Calendula Officinalis L.) was evaluated in a pot culture experiment. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design including 12 treatments and four replications was carried out. Main factor was foliar application stages (first, second and third) and sub factor included different concentrations of GA3 (0, 50, 150 and 250 mg L...

Chlorophyll-deficient individuals have been reported in most species of plants studied intensively by genetic methods. The majority of these chlorotic types have been shown to be the expression of a single gene mutation. However, there is a large group of types that exhibit maternal inheritance, and transmission of the deficiency to their offspring is conditioned by the cytoplasm. Until rather ...

cold stress is considered as a restricting factor in plant production. recently, many different compounds were applied to minimize the harmful effects of stress. in this study, the effects of foliar application of salicylic acid was studied on some biochemical properties of two different cold resistant canola cultivars. salicylic acid was sprayed at four concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 400 µm) ...

This study was conducted to assay the effects of methanol foliar application (0, 10, 20 and 30% v/v) and bed cover (control, white and black covers) on yield and some physiological traits of marigold as a factorial based on RCBD. The results revealed the significant interaction effects of bed cover and methanol foliar application on chlorophyll a content and plant height. The highest plant heig...

The content of individual chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments is determined in three spinach varieties (Lorelei, Springfield, and Ballet) after processing. Raw spinach and spinach that is steam-blanched for 3, 9, or 15 min is stored frozen at -24 degrees C for 6 months. In addition, spinach is air-dried at 75 degrees C, packed in atmospheric air or nitrogen, and stored at ambient temperature fo...

nickel and cadmium are heavy metals with some hazards for plant metabolism. the impacts of nickel chloride (0, 400 and 800 μm) in the presence of vitamin b complex (0, 30 and 60 ml from pharmacy commercial stock) and the impacts of cadmium chloride (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 μl from 100 µm stock) in pot and cadmium nitrate (0, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 μl from 100 µm stock) in ...
