The yellow-green leaf mutant has a non-lethal chlorophyll-deficient mutation that can be exploited in photosynthesis and plant development research. A novel yellow-green mutant derived from Triticum durum var. Cappelli displays a yellow-green leaf color from the seedling stage to the mature stage. Examination of the mutant chloroplasts with transmission electron microscopy revealed that the sha...

in the present study, effects of iron excess treatments (0, 250, 500 mg l-1) were evaluated in four rice varieties including shafagh, khazar, hashemi and sadri in pot condition. afterward, effects of iron excess (10 and 250 mg l-1) were further investigated in the most resistant variety (shafagh) in sand culture with yoshida nutrient solution. this experiment was arranged as factorial in rcbd w...

in order to study the effects of ga3and cacl2 treatments in resolve the problems of sweet pepper culture in ilam region (including small size fruits with sunscald and blossom end rot disorders), this study was carried out in ilam university in 2012. for that, ga3 (50 mg/l) and cacl2 (0.5%) treatments were sprayed at two (fruit set and 15 days thereafter) and three (fruit set, 10 and 20 days the...

To evaluate genetic variation of wheat (Triticum aestivum) affected by heat and drought stress on eight Australian wheat genotypes that are parents of Doubled Haploid (HD) mapping populations at the vegetative stage, the water stress experiment was conducted at 65% field capacity in growth room. Heat stress experiment was conducted in the research field under irrigation over summer. Result show...

to study the effects of below leaves excision and nitrogen application on stomatal characteristics of wheat flag leaf, grain protein, dry matter remobilization, grain yield and yield component, leaf area of winter wheat (t. aestivum cv. ghods) was artificially reduced under filed condition. the experimental design was a factorial on a rcb with 3 replications, a combination of three levels of de...

Effects of sulfur on photosynthesis in sugar beets (Beta vulgaris L. cv. F58-554H1) were studied by inducing sulfur deficiency and determining changes in the photosynthesis of whole attached leaves and of isolated chloroplasts. The rates of photosynthetic CO(2) uptake by intact leaves, photoreduction of ferricyanide, cyclic and noncyclic photophosphorylation of isolated chloroplasts, and the ra...

Low temperature is one of the abiotic factors limiting plant growth and productivity. Yet, knowledge about sex-related responses to low temperature is very limited. In our study, the effects of low, non-freezing temperature on morphological, physiological, and ultrastructural traits of leaves in Populus cathayana Rehd. males and females were investigated. The results showed that 4 °C temperatur...
