apricot (prunus armeniaca), palys an important role in fruit production industry in iran. irregular set of fruit, caused by either sterility of flower organs or incompatibility has been the main problem in apricot production over the years. in this study, it has been attempted to determine these phenomena for four apricot cvs. namely ‘shahroodi’, ‘nasiri’, ‘jahangiri’ and ‘noori’ through the me...

this study was conducted to determine the best pollinizer for five selected pecan cultivars in southwest of iran at safiabad agricultural research center in 2014-2015. the cultivars included: 'gratex', '10j', 'wichita 6j', 'graking', 'choctaw' as pollinated cultivars (♀) and 'gratex', 'peruque', 'comanche 4m', &apos...

Nano particles may be more useful in comparison to bulk materials because they can pass the cell membrane of crops because of their general size. Nano-silicon or SiO2 is one of the major and frequently used engineered oxide nano particles in deferent fields. Quick germination of cultivated seeds and good seedling establishment are key factors to lentil production under salinity stress soil acro...

This study was carried out to study the possibility of salt tolerance induction in two cultivars of sorghum by exogenous application of different levels (0, 50 mM and 100 mM) of proline. Salt treatments (100 mM) adversely affected the germination percentage, growth and chlorophyll contents of both cultivars. However, applications of proline alleviated the adverse effects of salt stress. However...

cadmium (cd), being a highly toxic metal pollutant of soils, it inhibits root and shoot growth and yield production, affects nutrient uptake and homeostasis. it is frequently accumulated by agriculturally important crops and then enters the food chain with a significant potential to impair animals and human’s health. therefore, a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of various cd levels ...
