nitrate is an essential component for plants and vegetables are of the most important source of nitrate for human being. it is estimated that vegetables provide 92 % of nitrate for human nutrition. the positive and negative effects of elevated root zone co2 on growth and yield of some plants have been reported. this study has been conducted in order to examine the effect of root zone co2 on gro...

Zinnia is an annual plant with the long flowering period from late spring to mid-autumn. It is a popular plant for landscape. In the present study, the effect of two types of growth promoting bacteria and Azolla compost on some ornamental characteristics of Zinnia were evaluated in pot cultivation and greenhouse conditions. The factorial experiment was conducted in three replications based on a...

leaf and root explants from 10 to 20 day– old seedlings of plantago lanceolata, were cultured on ms, msh, nt and b5 basal media with various concentrations of different plant growth regulators. the best callus induction was obtained with 0.4 mgl-1 2,4-d in msh i with 400 callus index. callus growth was significantly stimulated (p=0.05)with 0.8 mgl-1 2,4-d and 0.1 mgl-1 kin in msh ii, with 7...

to investigate the effects of different salinity levels of nacl on germination of safflower (cv. esfahan 24) seeds under three different incubation methods, a factorial experiment was carried out based on a complete randomize design with three replications. salinity levels were 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 dsm-1 (nacl) and incubation methods were sandwich method, and using petri dishes with open or clos...

In this investigation, the effect of zinc excess andits interaction with ascorbic acid on some growth parameters (root and shoot, fresh and dry weight, leaf blade area and length of root and stem), proline content, soluble sugars and starch plant were studied on canola. Experimental plants were treated with different concentrations of zinc sulfate ie. 0.7 (control), 50, 100, 250, 500 and 700 mM...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of drought stress and nitrogen fertilizer on growth of strawberry plants, present study was conducted in the mazandaran province in 2010. experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stress treatments (30, 50 and 70% maximum allowable depletion of moistur (mad)) and nitrogen...
