Soilless culture (hydroponic) and timely supply of plants’ essential nutrients will increase their quantitative and qualitative performance. To assess the impact of N, K and Mg on yield and fruit quality of strawberry (Fragaria×ananasa cv. Sun Rise) an experiment was performed which included control treatment (no fertilizer application), two levels of urea (100 and 200 mg/L per pot), two levels...

  Growing media could affect quality and shelf life of strawberry fruits. In the present study, effect of seven growing media including a control medium (50% cocopeat + 50% perlite v/v ), and media supplemented with either 10, 20 and 40% of vermicompost or cattle manure in a completely randomized design with three replications was studied on postharvest quality and shelf life extension of Camar...

Because of increasing trend in salinization of water sources, and inevitable using non-traditional water, a research was planned to determine the tolerance range of strawberry cv. Paros to salinity and possible role of salicylic acid (SA) in ameliorating its adverse effect on plant growth. In this research, effect of different salinity levels (0, 20 and 40 mM in nutrient solution) and SA (0, 10...

In order to investigate the effects of different forms of nitrogen in nutrient solution on photosynthesis rate and quantitative properties of rose cv. Dolcvita, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete blocks design with seven ratios of urea: NH4+: NO3- (0-100-0, 0-50-50, 0-0-100, 50-0-50, 25-25-50, 15-15-70 and 0-0-100) and three replications, in a hydroponic greenhouse which grows...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Sesame is an ancient oilseed plant known for its medicinally important lignans and its high quality edible oil. ptimization of tissue culture in order to achieve high frequency regeneration is the first step for genetic transformation. the plant recalcitrant to plant tissue culture thus limiting the use of modern biotechnology for its genetic impro...

The present study was conducted to test the effect of Ascophyllum nodosum extract on the growth of Robinia pseudoacasia L., ornamental tree. In vitro and ex vitro clonal multiplication of Robinia pseudoacasia L. was achieved using embryonic axes and seeds as explants, respectively. Factors affecting shoot and root production of R. pseudoacasia L. were investigated by comparing various growth re...
