Seven-day-old dark-grown bean leaves were greened under continuous light. The amount of chlorophyll, the ratio of chlorophyll a to chlorophyll b, the O(2) evolving capacity and the primary photochemical activities of Photosystem I and Photosystem II were measured on the leaves after various times of greening. The primary photochemical activities were measured as the photo-oxidation of P(700), t...

to investigate the effects of methyl jasmonate growth regulators on growth characteristics, fruit number and fruit yield of ‘semsuri’ melon, an experiment at the field of shahid bahonar university was conducted in summer 2012. melon (cv. ‘semsuri’) is widely cultivated in iran and therefore increasing the fruit yield and quality of this cultivar is necessary. some growth regulators including me...

water deficit, ultraviolet radiation and carbon dioxide enrichment are the most important environmental factors in global climate change. this research was conducted in tarbiat modares university, research greenhouse and the objective of that was to study the effects of three levels of carbon dioxide (500, 900 and 1300 ppm), uv-radiation (uv-a, b and c with intensity of 18, 25 and 40 µw.cm2 res...

Canopy chlorophyll density (Chl) has a pivotal role in diagnosing crop growth and nutrition status. The purpose of this study was to develop Chl based models for estimating N status and predicting grain yield of rice (Oryza sativa L.) with Leaf area index (LAI) and Chlorophyll concentration of the upper leaves. Six field experiments were conducted in Jiangsu Province of East China during 2007, ...

The P700 chlorophyll a-protein was purified by preparative sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) gel electrophoresis from SDS-solubilized barley (Hordewm vulgare L., cv Himalaya) chloroplast membranes. After elution from the gel in the presence of 0.05 to 0.1% Triton X-100, the recovered protein had a chlorophyll/P70. ratio of 50 to 60/1 and contained no chlorophyll b or cytochromes. Analysis of the pol...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of putrescine(Put) and humic acid (HA) foliar applications on growth, yield and chemical composition of Egyptian cotton (Gossypium barbadense L. cv. Giza 90)plants grown under saline soil condition. A soil mixture of, clay: sand (1:1), was used as a plant growing media. Three different doses of putrescine (0, 1 and 2 ppm) and humic acid (0, 1 ...
