salinity is one of the most important limiting factors for crops, because of most agronomic and horticultural crops are sensitive to salinity. on the other hands, considerable lands of the world were affected by salinity and they are increasing day by day. an experiment was conducted with five levels of irrigation water salinity in soilless culture and greenhouse condition to evaluate the effec...

To evaluate the role of root-synthesized ABA in regulating growth and stomatal behaviour under well-watered conditions, isogenic wild-type (WT) and ABA-deficient flacca (flc) tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) were reciprocally and self-grafted just below the cotyledonary node. Since flc scions had lower leaf water potentials due to higher transpiration rates, a subset of all graft combinations was ...

Soil and water salinity substantially constrain crop and biomass production. To investigate the changes in morphological parameters of lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) cultivars under CaCl2 salinity conditions a greenhouse experiment was conducted. Cultivars namely, ‘Champagne’ (C1), ‘Lime Green’ (C2), ‘Blue Picotee’ (C3) and ‘Pure White’ (C4), were subjected to salt stress (0–30 mM CaCl2) in ...

We compared the effects of nitrogen fertilization on shoot hydraulic architecture and leaf photosynthetic properties of Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden trees in Hawaii. It was hypothesized that water transport capacity would adjust to nutrient availability, with leaf specific hydraulic conductivity (kl) increasing in fertilized trees in coordination with higher photosynthetic capacity per uni...

This paper describes computer vision techniques for early-season measurement of vine canopy parameters; leaf count, leaf area and shoot count. Accurate and highresolution estimation of these key vineyard performance components are important for effective precision management. We use a high-resolution stereo camera with strobe lighting mounted on a ground-vehicle that captures high-quality proxi...

the effect of different ratio of vermicompost (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 %) in two type of substrate (coco peat and coco peat-perlite (50:50 v:v)) on growth characteristics of gooseberry (physalis peruviana l.) seedling was investigated in research greenhouse of university of tehran, in 2013. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications was carried out. crite...

in line with an investigation regarding to evaluation of the compatibility of the asian pear cultivars with iran climatic conditions – currently being carried out at the horticultural department of tarbiyat modares university (tmu) – the present preliminary study was performed in two regions in isfahan. asian pear (pyrus serotina rehd.) cultivars (grafted on european pear seedling rootstocks) w...
