humic acid, which has hormone- like activity , not only enhances plant growth and nutrients uptake but also improve stress tolerance. to determine the effect of humic acid on the yield and vegetative characteristics of tomato an experiment was conducted with tomato cv. `isabela` in 2008 in a plastic tunnel at the agriculture faculty, guilan university using randomized completely design with fou...

Extensive research shows temperature to be the primary environmental factor controlling the phyllochron, or rate of leaf appearance, of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Experimental results suggest that soil temperature at crown depth, rather than air temperature above the canopy, would better predict wheat leaf appearance rates. To test this hypothesis, leaf appearance in spring wheat ('Nordic') ...

in this regard, the morphophysiologic and anatomic characteristics of six olive cultivars (nabali, feshomi, arbequin, zard, gordal and roghani) were investigated under drought. experiments were designed based on factorial and complete block random plot with two control treatments, -1.5 mpa stress and three replicates. the investigated factors were as follows: leaf area, specific leaf area, leaf...

the autotetraploidy was achieved in basil using tip meristem treatment of seedlings with various concentrations of colchicine solution (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 0.75% (w/v) ph = 6). a significant increase in the essential oil content was observed in tetraploids as they carry the potential of productivity of 69 % more oil over the diploids. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the e...
