pomegranate fruit moth (pfm), apomyelois ceratoniae zeller is a major pest of pomegranate in iran. in this study, the effect of four diets including pistachio, pomegranate, semi-artificial and artificial diets were studied on biological parameters of pfm in a growth chamber under controlled conditions at 30 ± 2 °c, 65 ± 5% rh and 16:8 (l: d) h. the results demonstrated that the longest incubati...

In order to investigate the effects of salt stress on biochemical and physiological responses of two cultivars of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) namely, Diabolourde and Yazdi, chlorophyll content, growth parameters, and proline contents of roots and shoots, reducing sugars contents of roots and shoots, and membrane injuries of the plant samples were subjected to 0, 100, 150, and 200 mM NaCl treat...

In order to investigate the effects of water stress on total phenolics content, antioxidant power, β-glucosidase activity and stomatal properties of alfalfa, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was carried out in 1-Lit pots containing half strength Hoagland culture medium using two cultivars of alfalfa at four osmotic pressures including 0 (control), -0.5, -1.0 and ...

Drought is one of the most important natural phenomenon which affects on plant growth. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is an essential fodder product which has extensive and depth roots system, this advantage enables the plant to tolerate long term drought without any damage to its regrowth process. In order to measure germination percentage and rate, root and shoot growth of 6 alfalfa cultivars (...

This study was carried out to investigation the possibility of using Triadimefon (TRD) in order to decrease the adverse effects of salt stress on Medicago plant. Triadimefon is a member of Triazol compounds which enhances stress tolerance through physiological processes. Two cultivars of Medicago sitiva including Hamedani and Yazdi were used in this study. Plants were treated with 1, 2 and 4 mg...

this study was carried out to investigation the possibility of using triadimefon (trd) in order to decrease the adverse effects of salt stress on medicago plant. triadimefon is a member of triazol compounds which enhances stress tolerance through physiological processes. two cultivars of medicago sitiva including hamedani and yazdi were used in this study. plants were treated with 1, 2 and 4 mg...

This investigation was carried out with the aim of determining the effect of polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG; 0, 3%, 6% and 9% w/v) treatment on six cultivars of Medicago sativa. PEG treatment significantly decreased the germination index in cultivars of Isfahani, Hamedani, Bami, Baghdadi, Yazdi and Ghare-Medicago, with the highest reduction in Ghare-Medicago and Hamedani cultivars by about 50% a...
