to investigate the effects of methyl jasmonate growth regulators on growth characteristics, fruit number and fruit yield of ‘semsuri’ melon, an experiment at the field of shahid bahonar university was conducted in summer 2012. melon (cv. ‘semsuri’) is widely cultivated in iran and therefore increasing the fruit yield and quality of this cultivar is necessary. some growth regulators including me...

Exposure of mango (Mangifera indica cv. Tommy Atkins) fruit to methyl jasmonate (MJ) vapors (10(-)(4) M) for 24 h at 25 degrees C reduced chilling injury during subsequent storage for 21 days at 7 degrees C and after 5 days of shelf life at 20 degrees C. The chilling tolerance induced by MJ was positively correlated with the reduction in the percent ion leakage of mango tissue. The overall qual...

drought stress is one of the most important problems of agriculture and an important factor of plant product reduction. application of absorbent materials can help usage of sporadic rain fall and cause more maintenance of water storage. in order to study the effect of super absorbent polymer, potassium sulfate and manure under drought condition and favorable irrigation on some traits of foxtail...

in this study, physiological and morphological responses of five almond cultivars to drought stress were investigated under in vitro conditions. plantlets from five commercial almond cultivars (supernova’, ‘tuono’, ‘sahand’, ‘ferragnes ’ and ‘shahroud 21’] were established in ms medium containing 0.5 mg per liter bap and then subcultured  in ms proliferation medium containing 1 mg per liter bap...

abstract the grasses cold tolerance is the most important limiting factor for its cultivation in temperate regions, so using cold tolerant cultivars is essential for grasses successful cultivation. in order to evaluation freezing stress tolerance of several species of grasses, this study was conducted in agricultural faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad as a factorial complete randomized b...

In the floriculture industry, the need for heat tolerant bedding plant cultivars is increasing because of the rising temperature around the world. A pot experiment was carried out to examine the impacts of four heat stress durations (0, 7, 14 and 21 days) on growth and ornamental traits to determine the relative heat tolerance of four cultivars of calendula (Calendula officinalis). Growth and d...

ajowan is one of the endemic plants in khorasan province, and there is a little information on its tolerance to cold stress. in order to study freezing tolerance of ajowan, an experiment was conducted in faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, based on factorial-completely randomized design with three replications and three ecotypes of ajowan (neishabour, birjand and torbat-e-he...
