The use of nitrogen in nutrient media is essential for growth and helps identify highly productive media for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) micropropagation and adventitious shoot formation. Three potato cultivars (Agria, Marfona and Savalan cultivars) were examined for their growth response with medium containing four different levels of KNO3 (1, 1.25, 1.5 and 1.75 times as much 1.9 g l-1) and ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Water-saving ground cover rice production systems (GCRPS) are gaining popularity in many parts of the world. We aimed to describe the characteristics of root growth, morphology, distribution, and water uptake for a GCRPS. METHODS A traditional paddy rice production system (TPRPS) was compared with GCRPS in greenhouse and field experiments. In the greenhouse, GCRPS where ro...

PURPOSE The aim of this ex vivo study was to compare the accuracy of radiographic and electronic root canal length determination methods, compared with actual root canal length obtained with stereomicroscope. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty extracted single-rooted permanent teeth were used for this study. After access preparation, actual length (AL) of the root canal were determined for each too...

Wheat is an important cereal crop worldwide that often suffers from moisture deficits at the reproductive stage. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-treated hydroponic conditions create negative osmotic potential which is compared with moisture deficit stress. An experiment was conducted in a growth chamber to study the effects of PEG on root hair morphology and associated traits of wheat varieties. Plan...

The effects of Drought and salinity stress on the growth and chemical compositions pennyroyal(Mentha pulegium L.) plant were investigated. This experiment was carried out in a factorial-randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions and plantlets were subject to four soil moisture regimes (40, 60, 80 and 100 of field capacity (FC)) and five salt treatments with 0, 25...

The Arabidopsis root is a model system for studying root growth, development, and response to environmental stresses. Due to its small size, many Arabidopsis seedlings can be cultured in a single nutrient-containing agar plate. Two of the common parameters used to evaluate root growth are the root length and the elongation rate. Various methods including manual measurement and digital image ana...

azospirillum is a well-studied genus of plant growth-promoting bacteria. phytohormone production by pgpr is considered as one of the effective factor to increase the tomato yield significantly. in order to study the effect of azospirillum inoculant on on growth characteristics and yields of tomato, three strain of azospirillum were isolated, identified, and purified from tehran suburb soils. to...

introduction : there is a direct relationship between the quality of root canal obturation and success of endodontic therapy. the aim of the present study was to assess the quality of canal obturation performed by undergraduate dental students at the faculty of dentistry, mashhad university of medical sciences, mashhad, iran. materials and methods: records of 200 endodontically treated teeth fr...
