The physiological and biochemical responses of three ecotypes of Artemisia absinthium L. from Iran were evaluated under salinity conditions. Salinity treatments were made by NaCl with EC of 0, 5, 10 and 15 dS/m.   Physiological and biochemical attributes were measured 30 days after the salt treatments imposed. Highest reduction in the shoot and root fresh weights was observed in the ecotypes of...

Phytochemical constituents, such as total phenol, allicin and pyrovic acid as well as antioxidant activity of thirteen ecotypes of Allium hirtifolium Boiss. from different regions of Iran were evaluated. Average contents of total phenol, allicin and pyrovic acid of bulbs extracts per g fresh weight were 0.647 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE), 2.127 mg and 84.412 µmol, respectively and antioxidan...

salinity is one of the most restrictions in plant growth in dry and semi dry land which effects production of many crops such as sesame. in order to study the phenology and morphology characteristics of 43 ecotypes and line of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) under salinity of irrigation water (5.2 ds.m-1) a field experiment was conducted at research farm of center of excellence for special crops, f...

identifying and selecting superior genotypes in native germplasm is one method for breeding fruit trees. five different ecotypes of jujube (ziziphus jujuba mill.) were collected from different regions of isfahan province, iran, for evaluation of their morphological and pomological traits during 2011-13. results showed that quantitative traits were more significant within ecotypes. ‘‘najafabad’ ...

Several saffron ecotypes (Mashhad, Torbat-Jam, Torbat-Haydarieh, Gonabad, Birjand, Ghaen) were evaluated in Urmia for stigma yield and yield components using different maternal corm weights(6, 8, 10, 12 g) in 2013 cropping year. The experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among saffron ec...
