in this study the effects of plant growth regulators including; ga3 (0 and 50 mg/l) and ethephon (0 and 500 mg/l) were studied on the quality properties of two grape cultivars (perlette and yaghuti). at the harvest time, some physicochemical characteristics such as fruit cluster weight, fruit diameter, length, volume and l/d ratio, flesh firmness, fresh weight, ta, ph, tss and fruit color were ...

The plant hormone auxin mediates developmental patterning by a mechanism that is based on active transport. In the shoot apical meristem, auxin gradients are thought to be set up through a feedback loop between auxin and the activity and polar localization of its transporter, the PIN1 protein. Two distinct molecular mechanisms for the subcellular polarization of PIN1 have been proposed. For lea...

The plant hormone jasmonate has been implicated in male fertility in Arabidopsis. Recent studies have identified the enzyme required for a critical step of jasmonate synthesis in anthers and shown that this enzyme really is required for male fertility.

The aim of this study was to identify the effect of Spermine and Salicylic acid on several growth parameters, such as shoot length, shoot fresh and dry weights, amount of protein and carbohydrate, of Badami and Qazvini pistachio cultivated variety under copper stress. The experiment design was completely randomized with three replicates per treatment and four levels of copper (o.5, 30, 45, 60 µ...

the effects of sucrose and some regulators on freezing tolerance in chickpea studied. four weeks in vitro explants were cultured in three different ms media without growth regulators and with normal level of sucrose (30 gl-1) (a), without growth regulators and with reduced sucrose (10 gl-1) (b) and medium supplemented with lmg gl-1 bap and 0.1 mgi1 iba and with 30 gi-1sucrose (c) for two weeks....
