The use of in vitro potato shoot cultures for protoplast isolation is desirable for consistent protoplast qualities. Ethylene build-up in the culture vessels causes problems for leaf growth (e.g. decreasing leaf surface, dry weight and chlorophyll) in shoot culture. Fifty to one hundred µM Silver thiosulfate (STS) produced a larger leaf area as a source of plant material for protoplast isolatio...

this research was carried on in order to investigate the response of wheat cultivars to salinity tension as factorial experiment and in complete randomized block design in four replications in islamic azad university shoushtar branch. in this experiment the response of nine wheat cultivars including chamran, karchia66, mahoti, roshan, alvand, kavir, ghods, atrak and tjan at vegetative growth st...

the autotetraploidy was achieved in basil using tip meristem treatment of seedlings with various concentrations of colchicine solution (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5 and 0.75% (w/v) ph = 6). a significant increase in the essential oil content was observed in tetraploids as they carry the potential of productivity of 69 % more oil over the diploids. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the e...

Development of a green belt with suitable plant species around the source of emission can mitigate the atmospheric contamination. Selection of such plant species are required to combat air pollution based on their tolerance level. Present study was undertaken to evaluate the tolerance level of higher plants in East of Esfahan city, Iran, during 2011 in terms of assessing Air Pollution Tolerance...

introduction nowadays, salinity is one of the limiting factors for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. on the other hand, sorghum (sorghum bicolor l.) is a self-pollinated and short-day plant, which partly has been adapted to salinity and water stress conditions; also play an important role in humans, livestock and poultry nourishments. all studies have showed the positive effects of...
