Previous work suggested that an increase in cell wall-loosening contributes to the maintenance of maize (Zea mays 1.) primary root elongation at low water potentials (h). It was also shown that root elongation at low +w requires increased levels of abscisic acid (ABA). In this study we investigated the effects of low +w and ABA status on xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) adivity in the root...

to evaluate the effect of time and level of nitrogen application on quantity and quality of two carrot varieties, an experiment was carried out in the framework of a 4×3×2 factorial and based upon a randomized complete block design of three replications. the levels of 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg / ha of nitrogen fertilizer were investigated within 3 applied times, namely: simultaneous with bed prepar...

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, 50, 75 ...

licorice, glycyrrhiza glabra (fabaceae), is one of the herbal medicines. glycyrrhizin is the importance content through compounds exiting in licorice, which is 50 times sweeter than sucrose. glycyrrhizin used as the primary matter in pharmacy and used to remedy of many diseases, and also, used in tobacco, confectionary and beverage industries. since glycyrrhizin in the phases of growth received...

The dormancy characteristics and optimum conditions for seed germination of Alstroemeria ligtu had not been explained. In vitro and in vivo alstroemeria (A. ligtu hybrid) seed germination tests were conducted in a Randomized Completely Design at two different treatments (gibberellic acid (GA3) 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg/l with and without stratification in 5±1oC) in four replications. Seeds were pl...

Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) is one of the most important plants producing essential oil. An experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications to study the effect of salinity stress on growth parameters, essential oil percent of peppermint. 4 levels of salinity solution containing 0, 50, 100 and 200 mmol NaCl was applied in irrigation plantings ...

Environmental stress, particularly drought stress can play an important role in reducing plant growth especially during the germination stage in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran. For cultivation of medicinal plants in arid and semi-arid areas, the assessment of their tolerance is very important. In this research, in order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement o...

Nitrogen is a crucial nutrient affecting plant growth and development and its addition to the soil (as chemical or organic form) influences plant growth characteristics. One experiment was conducted as a factorial based on RCBD with two Chrysanthemum cultivars (‘Fred’ and ‘Angel’( and two N-fertilizer sources [Urea (750 and 1500 g/ha and Nitroxin 7.5 and 15 L/ha] used as fertigation method besi...

introduction: production and growth of plants in many parts of the world due to degradation and water scarcity have been limited and particularly, in recent decades, agriculture is faced with stress. in the most parts of iran, especially in the khorasan razavi province, drought is a fact and water is very important. due to melon cultivation in this province, and the conditions of quality and qu...
