chilling is an important environmental stress that influences the yield and quality of many agricultural crops. different plants use different systems to endure this stress and minimize its effects. one of these systems is enzymatic reaction. to find out more about responses of different grapevine species and cultivars to the low temperature conditions, their enzymatic changes were evaluated in...

Under low temperature conditions, the cytochrome pathway of respiration is repressed and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in plants. Mitochondrial alternative oxidase (AOX) is the terminal oxidase responsible for the cyanide-insensitive and salicylhydroxamic acid-sensitive respiration. To study functions of wheat AOX genes under low temperature, we produced transgenic Arabidopsis by i...

in order to investigate deformation history preserved in the calcite twins in the hinterland of zagros, several samples have been collected from calcschists of the paleozoic sargaz complex in the faryab area, se iran. these samples are related to f1-recumbent folding and thrust shear zones. the twin width is about 1 and 3.8 µm (thin-twin regime); the twin strain amounts 5 and 10%; twin intensit...

The paperaim of the was to study the effect of low temperature stress on Avena nuda L. seedlings. Cold stress leads to many changes of physiological indices, such as membrane permeability, free proline content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and chlorophyll content. Cold stress also leads to changes of some protected enzymes such as peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CA...
