the effect of hot water treatments [45°c for five minutes, 55°c for 25 seconds and non-treated(control)], salicylic acid in three levels (0, 1 and 2 mm) and calcium chloride in two levels (2% and 4%) on quantitative and qualitative parameters and storage life of pomegranate cv. meykhosh were investigated. experiment was conducted as a factorial based on completely randomized design with three r...

henbane hyoscyamus reticulatus l. is a plant species in solanaceae family that seeds hardly germinate because of seed dormancy. in order to determine the best methods for seed dormancy breaking in henbane, a experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design with three replications. the treatments included moist pre-chilling (at 4 °c) for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days, combined treatment of gib...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of foliar salicylic acid (sa) and citric acid (ca) applications on growth, biochemical characteristics and essential oil content of thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) grown under field conditions. salicylic acid (0.5 and 1 mm) and citric acid (5 and 10 mm) were applied three times during the vegetation at 15 day intervals. results revealed that foliar ap...

Lobularia maritima or sweet alyssum (Brassicaceae) is an annual littoral halophyte, naturally thriving on sandy beaches. In addition to its obvious interest as a salt-tolerant plant, this species mainly cultivated ornamental plant in many countries. Laboratory experiments were carried out assess the effects of salinity seed germination and recovery from saline conditions after transfer distille...

In order to investigate the effect of seed pretreatment with growth regulators on biochemical characteristics of red bean genotypes, a factorial experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. In this research, seed pretreatment with growth regulators namely salicylic acid (SA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) were applied at four levels including P0: ...

In other to study the effects of salicylic acid on reproductive characters of ‘Elberta’ Peach (Prunus persica L. Batsch) tree, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications in commercial orchard, Kerman, Iran. The application of three concentrations of salicylic acid 0 (control), 1and 2 mM at swollen bud stage were used. Results showed that appl...
