in order to evaluate the effects of plant dendity on flower and essential oil yield and some important agronomic indices in borage (borago officinalis l.) under climatic condition of guilan province, this experiment was performed based on randomized complete block design with three replications, at shalman research station of agricultural and natural resource research center of guilan province,...

Engineered nano particles may have a variety of effects on plant systems which is not well studied as yet. We have studied for the first time the beneficial effect of hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanorod on seed germination and growth of chickpea plant.  HAP nanorods have been synthesized by sol gel technique and then characterized.  Chickpea plants have been allowed to germinate and grow in sterile sa...

Generally, primed seeds produce larger and heavier plants than non-primed seeds. This may be simply due to rapid emergence and extension of leaf growth, or the influence of other physiological processes. The effect of seed pretreatment with salicylic acid (SA) on some physiological and photosynthetic characteristics of the safflower seedlings, cv. Goldasht, was examined under field condition. T...

The aim of this one-year project is to develop synthetic methods to form well-defined colloidal assemblies of metal nanoparticles and to understand their unique optical properties focusing on magnetic resonance scattering and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Our synthetic approach is based on the templated surfactant-assisted seed growth method, where polymer particles decorated with s...

Introduction: The study aimed to find the low dose effect gamma ray on some hematological parameters in male albino rats obtained from the Mosul University, IRAQ, and also studied the radioprotective effect of black seed oil on the hematological parameters. Material and Methods: The system is made of 241Am as gamma source .The...

This study was conducted to determine if topical application of Moringa oleifera extracts and its bioconversion product fermented by Rhizopus oligosporus has therapeutic properties enhancement for treatment of atopic dermatitis. Rhizopus oligosporus (KCCM 11232P) was used to ferment Moringa leaves' extracts in this study. Comparison of organic acids and flavonols in Moringa simple extracts and ...

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...

This study shows that enhancement of soil fertility along with the yield of chickpea due to nodulation by the Rhizobium is possible to some extent. Data on plant height (cm) at maturity, primary branches/plant, days to flower, pods/plant, pod dry weight/plant (g), seeds/pod, seed dry weight/pod (g), 50 seeds weight (g), nodules/plant, fresh weight of nodules/plant and dry weight of nodules/plan...

The current study is a field experiment set out to comprehend significance of the iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles for use as seed priming agents and their subsequent impact in alleviating water stress improving agronomic profile flax plants. experimental layout consisted split-plot factorial design with one main plot divided into two subplots corresponding drought well-irrigated environment. Each...
