the use of in vitro potato shoot cultures for protoplast isolation is desirable for consistent protoplast qualities. ethylene build-up in the culture vessels causes problems for leaf growth (e.g. decreasing leaf surface, dry weight and chlorophyll) in shoot culture. fifty to one hundred µm silver thiosulfate (sts) produced a larger leaf area as a source of plant material for protoplast isolatio...

Measurement or estimation of leaf area is essential for understanding crop responses to experimental treatments. The objective of this study was to develop regression models for estimating leaf area of field-grown cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) from measurements of leaf dry weight (LDW), vegetative components (stems and leaves) dry weight (VDW) and plant height (PH). Three cotton cultivars (Del...

Cagaita (Eugenia dysenterica DC.) is a native fruit tree with high economical potential from the Brazilian Cerrado. However, little is known about the essential nutritional demands of its seedlings. To determine the nutrient demands of Cagaita, a greenhouse experiment was performed, in which plants were grown under hydroponic condition to assess the growth (length and diameter of stems, number ...

Objective: An experiment was conducted at Wondo Genet Agricultural Research Center in the production season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 with the objective of identifying the best combination of intra and inter-row spacing for optimum plant population density of stevia. Methods: The experiment was conducted using five intra-row spacing (20cm, 25cm, 30cm, 35cm, and 40...

this experiment was designed to characterize the effects of size and concentration of an iranian clinoptilolite zeolite on the growth officus benjamina (starlight) in peat base media. ficus benjamina was stock rooted and grown in a peat consisting perlite (2: 1 v/v) (p: pe), zeolite (10, 20, 30 and 40 v/v %, two sizes 0.5-3 mm and 3-8 mm) instead of peat in p: pe (2: 1 v/v) media. ficus benjami...

this study was undertaken to identify morphological changes in young seedlings of 5 iranian almond species (prunus dulcis, p. eburnea, p. eleagnifolia, p. haussknechti, and p. scoparia) under polyethylene glycol-induced drought stress. drought stress caused a significant reduction in plant growth parameters such as fresh and dry weights of plant organs, leaf number, total leaf area, and leaf re...

in order to evaluation of plant densities and row spacing effects on growth and yield of wheat, an experiment was conducted by using four plant densities (125, 250, 375 and 500 plants per m2),two row spacing (12.5 and 25 cm), in a randomized complete block design with three replicates in anbare-ololum reign in rainfed and saline conditions during 2008-2009. results showed that leaf area index (...

This research involved in and coordinated multidisciplinary and complementary natural resources in the area of sustainable soil and plant nutrient management as well as economic benefits of edible herb production systems. The main concern was selection of the right growing media to achieve optimum yield and growth rate while avoiding application of synthetic fertilizers.Froriepia subpinnata is ...

This experiment was designed to characterize the effects of size and concentration of an Iranian clinoptilolite zeolite on the growth ofFicus benjamina (starlight) in peat base media. Ficus benjamina was stock rooted and grown in a peat consisting perlite (2: 1 v/v) (P: Pe), zeolite (10, 20, 30 and 40 v/v %, two sizes 0.5-3 mm and 3-8 mm) instead of peat in P: Pe (2: 1 v/v) media.
