no sufficient of chilling is a major problem in producing temperate fruit in warm climates. so determination of chilling requirement of different cultivars of grape is important. the aim of this research was determination of chilling requirement of four grape vine commercial cultivars including: kolahdary, red rasin, yaghoti and white rasin that factorial experiment based on a completely random...

this experiment was conducted to determine allopathic effects of cyperus rotundus extracts on the tomato germination. it was a completely randomized design (crd) with four replications, carried out in the laboratory of the agricultural college of university jiroft during 2011. the various test treatments were extracts of cyperus rotundus taken from aerial organs, root, and combinations of both ...

Phytoremediation is a biological method to improve soils contaminated with heavy metals. The objective of the present research was to study the capability of Vetiver grass and Tall Fescue in refining and reducing pollution of Cd, Cu and Zn from contaminated soils. The research was implemented in greenhouse during two separate tests (Vetiver grass and Tall Fescue) in a completely randomized desi...

this study was conducted to evaluate changes in antioxidants, free proline, relative water content and determination of root colonization of four commercial wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars (azar2, darab2, shiraz, and falat) inoculated with the fungus glomus intraradices, under four water regimes of 100, 75, 50, and 25% of field capacity in the year 2010 at the school of agriculture, shir...

Cadmium (Cd) in soil poses a major threat to plant growth and productivity. In the present experiment, we studied the effect of calcium (Ca(2+)) and/or potassium (K(+)) on the antioxidant system, accumulation of proline (Pro), malondialdehyde (MDA), and content of photosynthetic pigments, cadmium (Cd) and nutrients, i.e., Ca(2+) and K(+) in leaf of Vicia faba L. (cv. TARA) under Cd stress. Plan...

Salinity is the leading abiotic stress hampering maize ( Zea mays L.) growth throughout the world, especially in Pakistan. During salinity stress, the endogenous ethylene level in plants increases, which retards proper root growth and consequent shoot growth of the plants. However, certain bacteria contain the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase, which converts 1-aminocyclo...
