laboratory studies were conducted to examine the effects of different concentrations of wild barley (hordeum spontaneum koch.) shoot and seed extracts on germination and seedling growth of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) and wild barley. in this study, all wild barley shoot extract concentrations (with exception of lowest concentration) significantly reduced wheat seed germination after 7 days. sh...

Background Soil moisture deficiency causes yield reduction and instability in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production. The extent of sensitivity to drought stress varies across accessions originating from diverse moisture regimes of the world. Hence, we conducted successive greenhouse experiments in pots and rhizotrons to explore diversity in root responses to soil water deficit. Methods A set o...

abstract salinity stress is among the major barriers to plant production in many parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. jasmonates are one of the newest plant growth regulators that reduce the damages caused by environmental stresses. in this study, the effects of salinity and methyl jasmonate on some morphological traits of chamomile including root and shoot lengths, fresh...

abstract in this study, interaction between amf (g. mosseae and glomus spp., respectively indigenous and non-indigenous of hm-contaminated areas) with cd-resistant pgprs (bacillus mycoides and micrococcus roseus, indigenous of contaminated areas) on the growth, cd and nutrient uptake of maize plant (zea mays l.) in cd polluted soil were investigated. with increasing levels of cd, shoot and root...

Plant growth and development was affected greatly through salinity. Appropriate nutrients application on salinity condition can reduce its harmful effects and increased productivity of salinized soils. A pot experiment was carried out in 2007 in cs Lab., Department of Agronomy, Kyungpook National University, Korea to assess the effects of potassium nitrate on Gycine max (Var. Daewonkong) under ...

Greenhouse experiments in a completely randomized design were carried out to investigate the effects of nitroxin fertilizer (0, 1 and 2 li/ha) on morphological and physiological traits of Amaranthus retroflexus in 2013. The traits in the study included plant height, fresh and dry weight of shoots, roots, stem and leaf, Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanin, a...

this research evaluated the effects of gibberellin (ga3) and abscisic acid (aba) on emergence capability, rate of emergence, vigor index and some physiological characters of chickpea seedling (cicer arietinum l.) in a field experiment (as split) under dry and irrigated conditions. seeds were primed with 0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm of each phytohormones. examined chickpea cultivar was azad. the resul...
