This experiment was laid out in order to study on effect of natural storage and accelerated ageing on quantity and quality changes in storage proteins and catalase enzyme in chickpea seeds (Cicer arietinum L.) in Gorgan University of Agricultural Science and Natural Resource seed laboratory at 2015. Experiment was in complementary randomized design arrangement with four repli...

Extended abstract Introduction: Seed deterioration is associated with oxidative stress and uncontrolled accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Seeds have a group of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants that protect them against reactive oxygen species and help maintain seed vigor and support seed germination processes. The response of different cultivars to seed deterioration is differen...

abstract previous researches have shown success of growth hormones usage on flower production increase, pod and prevention of abscission of them in some of the pulses. two tests were done, in order to find out the effects of growth hormones to on flower production increase, pod and chick pea yield composites in farmer conditions (2010-11) and green house conditions as factorial on the proje...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of salicylic acid and gibberellic acid on germination characteristics and changes of proline, protein and catalase activity of Brassica napus seedlings under Cu(SO4) stress. The experimental design was factorial with complete randomized design as a base design with 3 replications. The first factor was 4 levels of Cu(SO4) stress (0, 10, 2...

In order to study the effect of seaweed extract and nano-ZnO on germination characteristics of tomato seed, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design. Preliminary germination and seedling growth tests were performed to determine the best concentration of seaweed extract and nano-ZnO. Experimental treatments included three levels of drought stress (0, 2- an...

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most important heavy metals and its pollution causes toxic effects on plants and human beinges well. Glycine betaine (GB) is an osmoprotectant that its external application leads to decrease stress strains as well as heavy metal accumulation hazards. This experiment was conducted to study the effect of seed priming with GB on Cd reduction of damages in the black seed...

introduction: diabetes mellitus is an growing national and international public health concern. the number of people affected by diabetes in world by 2030 will be 69% in developing countries. regular physical activity plays a key role in the management of type 2 diabetes melitus, particularly glycemic control. it has been recommended that peoples with type 2 diabetes participate in moderate-int...

In order to study the effects of hormone and hydroprimng on seed germination, growth and antioxidant enzymes activity of borage seedling, an experiment was carried out based on completely randomized design with three replications at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili in 2015. The Experimental treatments were seed priming with gibberellin (50, 100, 150 ppm for 12, 24, 48 hours) and salicylic a...
