Nanoparticles of titanium increase cell growth by improvement of photosynthetic and nitrogen metabolism and therefore, caused an increasing in weight of the plant. This re-search was conducted to evaluate seed yield and biochemical traits of bread wheat affected by different levels of titanium dioxide Nanoparticles in Ahvaz region, Khuzestan province, located at southwestern Iran by factorial e...

Tap water, demineralized water and liquid fertilizer have been activated using an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) to investigate their benefits for the germination rate and stem elongation rate of lentils from Puy-en-Velay (France). By plasma-activating tap water, we have obtained germination rates as high as 80% (instead of 30% with tap water). Also, higher stem elongation rates and fin...

due to extent of zinc (zn) deficiency in soils of iran and its deficiency in human diet, this study investigated the effect of zn sulfate foliar applications (non-foliar application, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation stage, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation and grain filling stages, 0.5 g/l at stem elongation and 2 g/l at grain filling stages) on yield and its components (farm sector) and influence of grain ...

this study was conducted to examine effects photothermal quotient on grain number of four wheat cultivars under four planting dates and four replications. the experiment conducted at the sabzevar agricultural sciences research during 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. various responses functions were evaluated to quantify the response of grain number to influencing parameters (environmental and non- envi...

Xyloglucan is a key polymer in the walls of growing plant cells. Using split pea stem segments and stem segments from which the epidermis had been peeled off, we demonstrate that the integration of xyloglucan mediated by the action of wall-bound xyloglucan endotransglycosylase suppressed cell elongation, whereas that of its fragment oligosaccharide accelerated it. Whole xyloglucan was incorpora...

Plant fibres-cells with important mechanical functions and a widely used raw material-are usually identified in microscopic sections only after reaching a significant length or after developing a thickened cell wall. We characterized the early developmental stages of hemp (Cannabis sativa) stem phloem fibres, both primary (originating from the procambium) and secondary (originating in the cambi...

Initiator tRNAs are used exclusively for initiation of protein synthesis and not for the elongation step. We show, in vivo and in vitro, that the primary sequence feature that prevents the human initiator tRNA from acting in the elongation step is the nature of base pairs 50:64 and 51:63 in the TpsiC stem of the initiator tRNA. Various considerations suggest that this is due to sequence-depende...

in order to optimize use of water resources with selection of suitable wheat genotype(s) and irrigation schedule, in this experiment, the effect of elimination of irrigation at terminal growth and development stages of five wheat genotypes was investigated in two successive growing seasons (2002-03 and 2003-04) in the agricultural research station of torogh mashhad. split plot experiments were ...

The stems and leaves of the Dolichos biflorus plant contain a lectin that cross-reacts with antiserum against the seed lectin. This cross-reactive material (CRM) was followed during early seedling growth, stem elongation, and seed development using a specific radioimmunoassay.No CRM was detected in developing seeds, but very low levels were found in dormant and imbibed seeds. As germination pro...
