the production of oxygen radicals in plants under salinity stress conditions in an the important factor for a diminishing of a photosynthesis and a cause fir a decrease in later vegetative growth. in order to study the effects of antioxidants and salinity stress on photosynthetic characteristics and growth in olive, an experiment was conducted in the research greenhouse of tabriz university in ...

in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting bacteria on growth characteristic of wheat, an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in year 2009. a completely randomized design based on factorial arrangement (3×6) with three replications was used. the first factor consisted of three cultivars of wheat (c...

The effect of cement dust on the growth parameters of brinjal (Solanum melongena) was studied. The cement dust (2 g/plant) exhibited both inhibitory and promotory effects on different growth parameters of the S. melongena. The decrease in the number of leaves (37.19 and 62.28%), leaf area (57.93 and 57.26%), root length (48.21 and 56.75%), shoot length (27.27 and 38.98%), plant circumference (3...

in order to study the effects of ph and the ratio of nitrate to ammonium in nutrient solution, on the growth characteristics and on the yield of spinach (spinacia oleracea l.), a factorial experiment was conducted consisting of two factors including: nutrient solution ph in three levels (4.5, 6.5 and 8) and nitrate to ammonium ratio of nutrient solution in five levels (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:7...

The relationship between spatial density and size of plants is an important topic in plant ecology. The self-thinning rule suggests a -3/2 power between average biomass and density or a -1/2 power between stand yield and density. However, the self-thinning rule based on total leaf area per plant and density of plants has been neglected presumably because of the lack of a method that can accurat...

Physiological effects of different nitrate applications were studied using the C(4) plant, Amaranthus powellii Wats. Plants were grown in a controlled environment chamber and watered daily with nutrient solutions containing 45, 10, 5, or 1 millimolar nitrate. Chloride and sulfate were used to keep the cation and phosphate concentrations constant. Total leaf nitrogen concentration, chlorophyll c...

the effect of tricyclazole application on waterlogging damage alleviation in canola seedlings was evaluated in a pot experiment in complete randomized design layout with three replications. treatments included: control (no waterlogging), waterlogging, tricyclazole plus waterlogging and tricyclazole. tricyclazole (75%) applied at three-leaf stage on canola seedlings. seedlings were exposed to wa...
