In this investigation, the effect of zinc excess andits interaction with ascorbic acid on some growth parameters (root and shoot, fresh and dry weight, leaf blade area and length of root and stem), proline content, soluble sugars and starch plant were studied on canola. Experimental plants were treated with different concentrations of zinc sulfate ie. 0.7 (control), 50, 100, 250, 500 and 700 mM...

Tolerant rice accessions were identified from a field study involving 196 at Pandit Jawaharlal of Agriculture and Research Institute, Karaikal for yellow stem borer, Scirpophaga incertulas. in along with the susceptible check (TN1) considered analyzing biochemical parameters viz., chlorophyll content, total sugars, reducing phenols, soluble protein, proline. Higher amounts moderate lesser sugar...

In this study, the role of salicylic acid pre-treatment (0.01, 0.1 mM was investigated)in inducing salt tolerance in sweet basil. Results showed germination percentage, length of shoot and root, fresh and dry weight of leaf, and photosynthetic pigments were decreased in response to high salinity but the lipid peroxidation, coefficient allometry, and soluble sugars increased. In plants pre-treat...

mechanisms of drought stress tolerance of gf677 rootstock, peach and almond hybrid, (prunus persica × prunus amygdalus) were studied under in vitro conditions. plantlets of gf677 rootstock were subcultured into the murashige and skoog (ms) solid proliferation medium containing 1 mg/l ba (6-benzyladenine) and 0.1 mg/l naa (naphthaline acetic acid) in four drought stress levels 0 (control), 10, 2...

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of cocopeat: perlite medium with three ratios (v/v) (1:1, 3:1 and 1:3) on some vegetative, flowering and biochemical parameters of two gladiolus cultivars (Strong and White) under soilless conditions in 2016. Data indicated that most vegetative parameters expressed as plant height, leaf number and leaf area, flowering parameter such as spike eme...

Drought and salinity are two major abiotic stresses, similarly and/or differently affecting physiological processes of wheat. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the impacts of drought and salinity on wheat. A pot experiment was conducted as completely randomized design with three replications in the research greenhouse of Yasouj University in 2015. Treatments included different l...

this study was carried out to evaluate the changes in some important cell parameters under water limitation in sorghum genotypes. a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized completely design in greenhouse, in university of mohaghegh ardabili in 2014. treatments were water stress at levels of 85, 65, 45 and 25 percent field capacity in and three genotypes of forage sorghum (kfs2, k...

in order to investigate the effects of supplementary calcium chloride and potassium nitrate on plant growth of ammi (carum copticum l.) in different salinity levels and nutrient solutions (ns), an experiment based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with factorial arrangement was conducted under greenhouse condition in the faculty of agriculture, vali-e-asr university of rafsanjan, durin...
