In vitro rooting response and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) levels were examined in two genetically related dwarfing apple (Malus pumila Mill) rootstocks. M.26 and M.9 were cultured in vitro using Linsmaier-Skoog medium supplemented with benzyladenine (BA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), and 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (PG). Rooting response was tested in Lepoivre medium supplemented with IBA and P...

In the current study, Arabidopsis seedlings were hydroponically grown on MS media containing cadmium (Cd) of 0-2.0 mg L(-1) for 60 h of treatment. Gene expression profiles were used to relate exposure to Cd with some altered biological responses and/or specific growth effects. RT-PCR analysis was used to quantitate mRNA expression for seven genes known to be involved in DNA mismatch repair (MMR...

The effects of Drought and salinity stress on the growth and chemical compositions pennyroyal(Mentha pulegium L.) plant were investigated. This experiment was carried out in a factorial-randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions and plantlets were subject to four soil moisture regimes (40, 60, 80 and 100 of field capacity (FC)) and five salt treatments with 0, 25...

in order to evaluate the tolerance of pistachio some cultivars to salinity a pot experiment was carried with 2 factors including cultivar and salinity in the year 2013. the cultivars were ghazvini, shah pasand, akbari, khanjari, jandaghi, italiyayi, fndoghi 48, sabz pesteh tohg, ahmad aghayi, rezaie zood res, mousa abadi, ebarahimi, kaleh ghochi and badami zarand. the salinity was applied in fi...

To characterize some important eco-physiological aspects of  Alhagi pseudalhagi growth, the present investigation was conducted at the farm of Khorasan Agricultural Research Center during 2004-2005. Various botanical characteristics including root structure and existence of starch in root were studied. Number of seeds per pod, pod length and test weight were recorded. A number of field and pot ...

Bulbs of tulip (Tulipa gesneriana L. `Gander'), in which the formation of ̄oral organs had been completed, were chilled at 28C for 3±30 weeks and then forced hydroponically at 208C under a 12 h photoperiod with the light at 100 mmol mÿ2 sÿ1. The fresh weight and the perianth length of the cut ̄ower highly correlated with the dry weights of shoots and ̄oral organs at anthesis, respectively. The d...

anise hyssop is a prennial herb belonging to the lamiaceae family. essential oil of this plant is used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics industries as well as flavoring liqueurs. since water stress affects the growth, productivity, as well influences the active principles governing medicinal plants, in this research the effect of different water deficit stresses on such morphological traits a...
