Abstract:

Phytohormones such as auxin are known to be involved in alleviating the detrimental effects of salinity by modulating the activity of enzymatic antioxidants and improving antioxidant system, which help in sustaining plant growth. The present study envisaged revealing the role of exogenous application of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in improving defense mechanisms in two genotypes (FL485 and IR29, salt tolerant and salt susceptible, respectively) of rice against NaCl stress. The results showed that salt stress led to an increase in the ascorbic acid (AsA) content of the tolerant cultivar suggesting that oxidative defense system was very operative in this cultivar. Exogenous application of IAA further increased the activities of AsA and ascorbate oxidase in the salt stressed FL485, whereas such effect was not observed in the susceptible cultivar (IR29). IAA was found to be more effective in enhancing the activities of α-tocopherol in salt stressed rice plants with more efficiently in the salt tolerant cultivar. In addition, IAA markedly increased hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) concentration in both cultivars as compared to untreated plants. Lipid peroxidation levels of both cultivars under salt treatment showed no change with foliar applications of IAA.

Effect of exogenous melatonin on growth, electrolyte leakage and antioxidant enzyme activity in rosemary under salinity stress

Melatonin is a new plant hormone that plays an important role in stress tolerance. For investigation the effect of exogenous application of melatonin on salt tolerance in rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. The first factor was melatonin (50, 100 µM) and the second factor was salinity stress (6, 9,...

focus on communication in iranian high school language classes: a study of the role of teaching materials in changing the focus onto communication in language classes

چکیده ارتباط در کلاس به عوامل زیادی از جمله معلمان، دانش آموزان، برنامه های درسی و از همه مهم تر، مواد آموزشی وابسته است. در تدریس ارتباطی زبان که تاکید زیادی بر توانش ارتباطی دارد، کتاب درسی به عنوان عامل موثر بر پویایی کلاس محسوب میگردد که درس ها را از طریق فراهم آوردن متن ارتباط کلاسی و هم چنین نوع تمرین زبانی که دانش آموزان در طول فعالیت های کلاسی به آن مشغول اند، کنترل می کند. این حقیقت ک...
