a field experiment was conducted to assess the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing on growth, yield and yield component of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.) in 2014/15 cropping season at wondo genet agricultural research center experimental site (at wondo genet station). two inter-row spacing (60 and 90 cm) and three intra-row spacing (30, 60 and 90 cm) were evaluated using two varieties, wg-hi...

scion-rootstock combination and level of salinity affect growth characteristics and concentration of nutrition elements of almond leaves and roots. in this research, effects of salinity stress were investigated on growth characteristics and nutrient concentration of almond leaves and roots by completely randomized design (crd), with two factors, genotype and water salinity with three replicatio...

To assess nickel-induced toxicity in plants, Zea mays seeds were germinated and cultured on nutrient solution with nickel concentrations of 50-200 μM for a period of two weeks. Observed biological makers included biomass, soluble and total protein contents, and the activities of guaiacol peroxidase (GPX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT), and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) in the l...

Comparisons of photosynthetic rates were made on leaves of ten species of woody dicotyledons grown in the field under full sun or under a canopy which transmitted approximately 18% of full light. Photosynthesis and dark respiration were measured and compared on various bases: area, chlorophyll, fresh weight of lamina, density thickness (fresh weight per unit area), and protein.Light-saturated p...

Lattice henbane (Hyoscyamus reticulatus L.) is an herbaceous, biennial plant belonging to Solanaceae family. H. reticulatus hairy roots were established from two-week-old leaves infected by A7 strain of Agrobacterium rhizogenes on solid Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium. In this study, abiotic elicitors including; Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) with different concentrations (0, 1, 5 and 7 mM) and silv...
