Considering the increasing trend of salinity development and the lack of suitable arable lands for agriculture in the world, the use of saline resistant species that reduce the effects of salinity stress in plants is very important. The aim of the present study was, investigation and comparison of morphophysiological and biochemical traits in leaf tissue of two barley cultivars (Aklyl and Zahak...

Manipulating cell cultures by elicitors is one of the important strategies for induction of valuable metabolites in plant biotechnology. Therefore, in this study the effect of ultrasound and salinity on growth, primary and secondary metabolite production was studied in Dunaliella salina microalgae cell culture. Cell cultures were treated with sodium chloride salt at concentrations of 2 and 3 M ...

One of the signs of climate change is variation of the amount of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere. It is expected that addition of carbon dioxide could affect on radiation-energy balance and thus change global climate. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of CO2 enrichment on leaf characteristics and change in pigments of two varieties of Eustoma grandiflorum cut flower...

Carotenoids are one of the most important and widely distributed pigments in nature and have essential biological functions in organisms. They also impart distinctive and attractive coloration to the breeding animals. Over the past two decades, application of microbial carotenoids has attracted the attention of researchers due to their natural and economic advantages. However, carotenoid produc...
