this study was performed to investigate the effect of putrescine and spermine on some physiological and biochemical characteristics and antioxidant enzymes activity of peach (prunus persica cv. alberta) and almond (prunus dulcis cv. rabi) seedlings under water deficit. the first factor was water regime at two levels (80% or 50% of soil available water), and the second factor was polyamine treat...

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...

the anti-senescence biogenic polyamines (pas) putrescine (put), spermidine (spd) and spermine (spm) are involved in plant growth processes and responses to stress. the physiological mechanism of exogenous put to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mm put and then...

The potential protective role of priming wheat seeds with maize green extract (MGE) against the stress effects drought was studied. Pretreatment using MGE, MGE enriched polyamines (MGEPA), and treatments (irrigation deficit 30% (severe drought) or 60% (moderate versus 90% relative water content soil as a control) were applied in factorial completely randomized design. Under moderate drought, pr...

in order to determine yield and physiological response of different wheat genotypes to low temperature, many pot and field experiments were conducted in 2007-2008 at the plant physiology laboratory, university of kurdistan, and ghamlo dryland agricultural research station in kurdistan province. in both experiments, the experimental design was a randomized complete block in a split plot arrangem...

The anti-senescence biogenic polyamines (PAs) putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm) are involved in plant growth processes and responses to stress. The physiological mechanism of exogenous Put to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. Fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mM Put and then...

Senescence is an integral part of the normal developmental cycle of plants and can be traced in cell, tissue and organ level. This work was focused on the efficiency of post-harvest treatment with the free polyamine spermine (Spm) to extend the vase life of cut rose flowers as an anti-senescence compound. Spm treatment was applied at the rates of 0, 1, 2 and 4 mM. Some morphological, biochemica...

the production of reactive oxygen species (ros) in plants under low temperature stress cause damage to plants. in order to evaluate of antioxidant responses of page mandarin young trees (two years old) on different rootstocks under low temperatures, an experiment was conducted in a factorial plan based on completely randomized design. treatment of temperatures were at seven levels include 9, 6,...

in order to study the effects of ascorbic acid as an important antioxidant reducing salinity damage, an experiment was conducted on two althernantera genotypes (“entire leaf” and “undulated leaf”) at research greenhouse of shahid chamran university in 2013. concentrations of 0, 0.5 and 1 mm of ascorbic acid were sprayed weekly on plants grown under 0, 30, 60, 90 mm nacl. the experiment was carr...

in this research, we studied polyamines including putrescine (put), spermidine (spd) and spermine (spm) changes in three common bean (phaseolus vulgaris) genotypes, k-s-31167, ge-288 and naz under drought stress. our result showed steadily increase in putrescine (put) and spermine (spm) in all three genotypes.  ge-288 genotype showed decrease and then increasing in spermidine (spd) content but ...
