The effects of gibberellic acid (GA3) on growth, physiology and yield of salt-stressed mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern & Coss) cv. Varuna plants were studied. The stress imposed by 25 or 50 mM NaCl reduced substantially leaf area, dry mass, leaf chlorophyll content, stomatal conductance and net photosynthetic rate 50 days after emergence. At harvest, although other yield components were gener...

in order to investigate the effect of cycocel on different growth aspects of two olive cultivars (mary and mission), a greenhouse experiment was conducted taking into account three factors of: cycocel at three levels (0, 500 and 1000 mg l-1), drought stress of three levels (irrigated at 5, 10 and 15 days intervals) and two olive cultivars (mary and mission) in a factorial experiment based on ra...

Active gibberellin (GA(1)) is an important mediator of thermoperiodic growth in pea. Plants grown under lower day than night temperature (negative DIF) elongate less and have reduced levels of GA(1) compared with plants grown at higher day than night temperature (positive DIF). By comparing the wild type (WT) and the elongated DELLA mutant la cry(s), this study has examined the effect of impair...

having special ecological condition, kish island has a restricted range of native species of ornamental plants. expansion of urban green space in this island is great of importance due to its outstanding touristy position in the south of iran. the purpose of this study was to investigate the growth and development of groundcover plants planted in four different regions of kish island and to rec...

The paper describes the effect of marble dust on plants in and around Vishwakarma Industrial Area (VKIA) Jaipur, Rajasthan (India). Trees species growing in and around VKIA area were selected and various morphological characteristics were studied such as leaf area dry weight ratio (LADWR), Dust retaining capacity (DRC) and Chlorophyll content. In the study the effects of marble dust on selected...

drought tolerance of three own-rooted grape cultivars (rashe, ghezil uzum and red sultanina) was evaluated at four different levels of soil moisture contents (40, 60, 80 and 100% field capacity through a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for a duration of 3 months. results revealed that, grape cultivars, levels of soil moisture and the inte...
