Salinity is a major limitation ecological factor for plant development in arid and semi-arid regions. The ionic imbalance, deficiency of nutrients and degradation of plant metabolites are caused by saline conditions, are affected by the reduction ratio of potassium (K) then sodium (Na). In this research foliar applications of humic acid (HA) for improve the absorption of K under salt stress was...

a new species from iran is described and illustrated here as kickxia iranica (plantaginaceae). kickxia iranica is morphologically similar to k. commutata, a species native to mediterranean region, however it can be distinguished from the latter by leaf shape, color of corolla, habit, stem branching and length of leaf, petiole, pedicel and corolla. notes on its distribution, ecology and phenolog...

the effect of the filler content and the different type of wood flour on the mechanical properties of polyethylene- date palm wood flour (dpwf) composite which are gathered from date palm tree annual pruning was studied. the different types of dpwf were stem, leaf and the mixture of stem and leaf. composites were made at 45, 60 and 75 % by weight filler contents. the particle size was 25-40 mes...

Andrographis alata Nees is an important medicinal plant. The current study was to investigate the antibacterial, antifungal activity and phytochemical analysis of the various leaf and stem extracts of A.alata. Methanol, ethanol, chloroform, acetone and petroleum ether extracts of shade dried plant leaf and stem of A.alata were tested for antibacterial, antifungal and phytochemical screening. Th...

Leaf shape, including leaf size, leaf dissection index (LDI), and venation distribution, strongly impacts leaf physiology and the forces of momentum exerted on leaves or the canopy under windy conditions. Yet, little has been known about how leaf shape affects the morphological response of trees to wind load. We studied eight Quercus species, with different leaf shapes, to determine the morphol...

wheat crop, considering its high planting area and consumption at national scale, demand a regular yield increase. humic acid, as an organic acid obtained from humus and organic sources without any environmental destructive effects, improves wheat yield particularly in variable environment conditions. in order to evaluate the effects of different levels of humic acid on shoot and wheat yield, a...

in order to study of effects of deficit irrigation on morphological traits and growth indices variation of corn forage (sc. 704) in rasht region, an experiment based on randomized complete design with four treatments and three replication was conducted in 2007 growing season, at research farm of faculty of agriculture, university of guilan. experimental treatments consisted of: no-irrigation, 1...

In wheat, tillering and water-soluble carbohydrates (WSCs) in the stem are potential traits for adaptation to different environments and are of interest as targets for selective breeding. This study investigated the observation that a high stem WSC concentration (WSCc) is often related to low tillering. The proposition tested was that stem WSC accumulation is plant density dependent and could b...

in order to study effects of application time of chevalier herbicide and integrate of illoxan with granstar on wheat and weed inahwaz, an experiment was conducted in ramin agriculture and natural resources university during 2007-2008, in split plot design by randomized complete blocks design with four replications. experimental factors was chevalier and integrate of granstar and illoxan herbici...
