the study was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed priming on root growth of two barley cultivars (hordeum vulgare l.) under salinity stress was performed in phytogel. the treatments included two cultivars of barely (yusuf and maquie), levels of seed priming (control, hydro-priming and priming with 4.35 g l-1 of urea) and four levels of nacl salinity stress (0, 0.2, 0.3 m). the experiment w...

nickel and cadmium are heavy metals with some hazards for plant metabolism. the impacts of nickel chloride (0, 400 and 800 μm) in the presence of vitamin b complex (0, 30 and 60 ml from pharmacy commercial stock) and the impacts of cadmium chloride (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600 μl from 100 µm stock) in pot and cadmium nitrate (0, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200 μl from 100 µm stock) in ...

this study performed to evaluate genetic diversity of some wild and domesticated (unknown foreign cultivars) blackberries in sanru collection based on morphological traits. results showed high diversity for flowering, ripening time and fruit juice. wild genotypes showed significant differences in leaf, flower, thorn number, fruits and seed fresh weight compared to domesticated cultivars. based ...

The experiment was performed to study the seed germination and seedling growth in wheat under the influence of different concentrations of copper. The germination %, plumule and radicle length, and number of lateral roots decreased with increase in copper concentration (5, 25, 50 and 100 mgl(-1)). Total chlorophyll contents declined on 14th day from 1.605 of control to 1.581, 1.242, 1.275 and 1...

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 ...

studies on crop improvement of saffron (crocus sativus l.) can play an important role in development of this native crop. in this context, an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, as a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2005-2010 years. first studied factor was planting pattern of saffron...

in other to evaluation of morphological and phenological traits of 24 populations, from four species chamomile of the genus of anthemis, an experiment were carried out using randomized completely blocks design (rcbd) in three replications in alborz research station in karaj, iran during 2011-12. 13 traits including: length and width of canopy diameter, plant height, number of flower, shoot fres...

It has been proposed that abscisic acid (ABA) may stimulate sucrose transport into filling seeds of legumes, potentially regulating seed growth rate. The objective of this study was to determine whether the rate of dry matter accumulation in seeds of soybeans (Glycine max L.) is correlated with the endogenous levels of ABA and sucrose in those sinks. The levels of ABA and sucrose in seed tissue...

The relevance of deionized water as a control treatment in vase life experiments and the effects of major tap water components on cut flower water balance were investigated. Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema x grandiflorum Tzvelev cv. Cassa) was used in all experiments. Deionized water gave a sharp decrease in fresh weight of the cut flowers after 1–3 days. This decrease was absent in tap water. Afte...
