Verticillium dahliae Kleb.is a soilborne pathogen that cause vascular wilt in chrysanthemumplant (Dendranthema grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitam). The objective of this research was to study the levels of some organic solutes, such as total protein, total soluble sugars, starch and proline, relative water content, RNA level, malondialdehyde and H2O2 contents in leaves of chrysanthemuminoculated with ...

In this study, physiological and morphological responses of five almond cultivars to drought stress were investigated under in vitro conditions. Plantlets from five commercial almond cultivars (Supernova’, ‘Tuono’, ‘Sahand’, ‘Ferragnes ’ and ‘Shahroud 21’] were established in MS medium containing 0.5 mg per liter BAP and then subcultured  in MS proliferation medium containing 1 mg per liter BAP...

abstract in recent years some research results have appeared that exogenous salicylic acid provided significant mitigation effect against salinity induced injuries in plants. an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of salt stress and salicylic acid on radish (raphanus sativus l.) plants. after appearing first leaves, plants were treated by salicylic acid (0.2 mm) for 3 days and n...

Heat shock is considered an abiotic stress for plant growth, but the effects of heat shock on physiological responses of cucumber plant leaves with and without downy mildew disease are still not clear. In this study, cucumber seedlings were exposed to heat shock in greenhouses, and the responses of photosynthetic properties, carbohydrate metabolism, antioxidant enzyme activity, osmolytes, and d...

Changes in freezing injury percentage, lipid peroxidation (malonaldehyde formation), antioxidant enzymes activity and proline content were monitored in the leaves of olive cvs. ‘Fishomi’ and ‘Roughani’ under diff erent freezing temperatures (-5, -10, -15 and -20°C for 10 h). Th e results showed that freezing injury (determined by electrolyte leakage analysis) and malonaldehyde (MDA) content of ...

17-day-old bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris cv. Strike) were used to analyze the effects of Co2+ and Zn2+ on the time course of proline, total protein, chlorophyll and abscisic acid (ABA) levels in leaves. Controls, Co2+ and Zn2+-treated plants were grown for 8 days in Hoagland solution. Samples were taken at 2 day intervals. Proline, chlorophyll (a+b) and total protein contents of 17 day old pr...
