The experimental work presented in this study was carried out with the hypothesis that plant derived smoke enhanced the morphological, physiological and biochemical attributes of a cereal crop, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Furthermore, this study supported the hypothesis that plant derived smoke acts as vegetative growth promoter, inexpensive, rapid and most appropriate eco-friendly bio-fertil...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of seed priming with ascorbic acid (AsA) on germination and seedling characteristics rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) under different salinity levels. To this end, examined five levels (0.20, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0 dS m-1 NaCl) four doses (control, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mM acid). Salt stress negatively affected some plant growth traits, such as radicle lengt...

This work describes the effect of newly introduced faying surfaces on microstructure and mechanical properties dissimilar weld joints AA6063 AISI304L alloys that are fabricated through rotary friction welding process (RFW). The experiments were done as six different experimental methods (‘A’ to ‘F’) at 1300 rpm rotation, 18 MPa pressure (FP), 24 upset (UP) 5 s time (FT) with hemispherical bowl ...

Fe is a trace element considered to be essential for rice, and it drives several metabolic processes. toxicity occurs due excessive ions (Fe2+) which, disturb cellular homeostasis dramatically reduces the rice yield. A set of 118 BRILs made from cross japonica cv.’02428’ indica ‘Changhui 891’ was used with high density bin map constructed by using quality SNP identify QTL tolerance. As whole to...

Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) is one of the most common agricultural crops in world. Its production Mexico and world depends on application nitrogenous fertilizer such as NH4NO3, which, used rationally or reduced doses according to needs plant, avoids environmental pollution addition emission N2O (oxide nitrous), greenhouse gas. One option reduce optimize apply Azotobacter vinelandii Xanthobact...

Purpose: To investigate the cytotoxic and antioxidant activities of the fruit and fruit waste (residue and marc) extracts of Antidesma thwaitesianum Müll. Arg., known as mamao in Thai, using chemical and cell-based assays. Methods: The cytotoxicity of mamao fruit and fruit waste extracts obtained by expression, maceration and decoction against a panel of six human cancer cell lines (COR-L23, A5...

Cadmium (Cd) in soil poses a major threat to plant growth and productivity. In the present experiment, we studied the effect of calcium (Ca(2+)) and/or potassium (K(+)) on the antioxidant system, accumulation of proline (Pro), malondialdehyde (MDA), and content of photosynthetic pigments, cadmium (Cd) and nutrients, i.e., Ca(2+) and K(+) in leaf of Vicia faba L. (cv. TARA) under Cd stress. Plan...

in order to study the effect of soil compaction on root and shoot growth of wheat plants (shahriar variety), a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in guilan university. the study design was factorial with completely randomized in three replications. treatments included three compaction levels; (normal compaction, compaction of ten percent and twenty percent) and two type of soil texture (cl...
