abstract- olive (olea europaea l.) is one of the most valuable and widespread fruit trees in iran. salt stress-induced changes in membrane stability, photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity were examined on four olive cultivars (dakal, shiraz, zard and amigdalifolia) by emphasizing the correlation between measured parameters and ion (k+, na+) accumulation. plants were subjected to four s...

A number of attempts have been made to grow albino plants by means of artificial nutrition, but so far as I am aware, in none of these have plants been grown to maturity or with any material gain in dry weight. KNUDSON and LINDSTROM (6) succeeded in keeping albino maize plants alive when supplied with sugar, and noted the formation of five to seven leaves, while the check plants had only two to...

The role of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in abscisic acid (ABA)-induced anthocyanin accumulation in detached and intact leaves of rice seedlings was investigated. Treatment with ABA resulted in an accumulation of anthocyanins in detached rice leaves. Dimethylthiourea, a chemical trap for H(2)O(2), was observed to be effective in inhibiting ABA-induced accumulation of anthocyanins. Inhibitors of...

in line with an investigation regarding to evaluation of the compatibility of the asian pear cultivars with iran climatic conditions – currently being carried out at the horticultural department of tarbiyat modares university (tmu) – the present preliminary study was performed in two regions in isfahan. asian pear (pyrus serotina rehd.) cultivars (grafted on european pear seedling rootstocks) w...

Both sorbitol and sucrose are imported into apple fruit from leaves. The metabolism of sorbitol and sucrose fuels fruit growth and development, and accumulation of sugars in fruit is central to the edible quality of apple. However, our understanding of the mechanisms controlling sugar metabolism and accumulation in apple remains quite limited. We identified members of various gene families enco...

Nerium oleander is an ornamental species of high aesthetic value, grown in arid and semi-arid regions because of its drought tolerance, which is also considered as relatively resistant to salt; yet the biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying oleander's stress tolerance remain largely unknown. To investigate these mechanisms, one-year-old oleander seedlings were exposed to 15 and 30 days...

Flavonoids are phytochemicals present in medicinal plants and contribute to human health. Coreopsis tinctoria , a species rich flavonoids, has long been used traditional medicine as food resource. N (nitrogen) fertilization can reduce flavonoid accumulation C. . However, there is limited knowledge regarding regulatory mechanisms. The aim of this study was determine the effect availability on bi...
