the development of seminal and lateral root system plays a major role in plant access to water and nutrients under abiotic stress, especially salinity. in order to understand the relation between root growth responsesand shoot physiological indices oftwo bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (kavir and shiraz), a greenhouse experiment was conducted with two salinity levels (0 and ...

Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) seedlings were cultured with air lateral root pruning (side-vented containers, VT) or without (solid-walled containers, SW). Seedling root system morphology and growth were assessed before planting and 8 and 14 months after planting. Although VT seedlings had greater root collar diameter than the SW before planting, seedling height and ground line diameter were n...

Gerbera jamesoniiis of commercial significance and fifth most used cut flower in the world today. A pot experiment was performed to see the effect of co-inoculation of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) i.e. (Glomus mosseae andAcaulospora laevis) with phosphate solubilizing bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescensin the presence of different doses of superphosphate (low, medium, high) on growth establi...

increasing level of carbon dioxide co2 due to industrial activity is primarily cause of global warming. planting artoplex lentiformis can help to reduce atmospheric co2 buildup partly replacing use of fuels and by carbon storage. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of row spacing on carbon storage. a split- plot design with three replications included three row spacing (2×2...

This study evaluated the induction of hairy roots in Perovskia abrotanoides Karel, a medicinally important member of Lamiaceae family, using different strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and various carbon supplies, for the first time. This research established an efficient Agrobacterium mediated transformation system for this plant species through bacterial strains including ATCC15834, TR105 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...

Intensive vegetation management alters seedling growth and development in southcm pine plantations. Adequate light, moisture. and nutrients stimulate seedling stem growth and crown development. Thus rapid stem growth could deplete nutrient and energy resources required for aggressive rcot growth. Early root system expansion within the available rooting zone is critical because structural root g...

environmental stress, particularly drought stress can play an important role in reducing plant growth especially during the germination stage in arid and semi-arid regions in iran. for cultivation of medicinal plants in arid and semi-arid areas, the assessment of their tolerance is very important. in this research, in order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement o...
