Screening and identification of tolerant genotypes using osmotic materials under in vitro culture could be rapid, easy, even accurate. In this research, three Iranian landraces Cucurbita sp. included Tanbal Ajili (Cucurbita maxima Duch.), Razan pepo L.), Balghabakhi moschata Duch.) seeds were cultured ¼ MS medium. After germination, plantlets transferred to media containing mannitol PEG 6000. M...

drought, withnegative impacts on plant growth and development, isa major abiotic stress. in order to decreasing drought stress injuries and recognizing red peppers tolerance physiology against drought stress in greenhouse conditions, an experiment with three levels of drought stress (irrigation at 100, 60 and 30% of field capacity) and four concentrations of 5-aminolevolinic acid ((ala; 0, 0.25...

Salinization usually plays a primary role in soil degradation, which consequently reduces agricultural productivity. In this study, the effects of salinity on growth parameters, ion, chlorophyll, and proline content, photosynthesis, antioxidant enzyme activities, and lipid peroxidation of two cotton cultivars, [CCRI-79 (salt tolerant) and Simian 3 (salt sensitive)], were evaluated. Salinity was...

Serotonin and melatonin, which are indolamines present in every biological kingdom, show strong bioregulator activity plant tissues under various stress conditions. Although numerous studies have reported the mitigating effects of effect serotonin on physiology has rarely been studied current literature. In this study, exogenous application tomato seedlings severe salt drought stresses were inv...

chilling is an important environmental stress that influences the yield and quality of many agricultural crops. different plants use different systems to endure this stress and minimize its effects. one of these systems is enzymatic reaction. to find out more about responses of different grapevine species and cultivars to the low temperature conditions, their enzymatic changes were evaluated in...

drought and salinity stress are adverse environmental factors that affect crop growth and yield. abiotic stress cause some reaction in plants such as change in gene expression, cell metabolism, growth and yield. moreover, stress condition resulted in increase of reactive oxygen species and disturbe macromolecules such as proteins, fatty acids, nucleic acid and pigments. in order to evaluate sal...
