Root-knot nematodes cause physiological and anatomical disorders in plants. The present study contains the results of an investigation of the effect of Meloidogyne incognita race2 on the growth of roots and aerial organs of tomato under greenhouse conditions. The experiment in a completely randomized design split split plot on two susceptible (Falat Y) and tolerante (Gina VF) tomatoes variety w...

Nowadays, cultivation of medicinal plants in the greenhouse and use of appropriate strategies to improve the response to environmental stresses on one hand, and growth of medicinal compounds on the other hand, has been under consideration. In this research, effect of exogenous putrescine on resistance of Datura stramonium plant to salinity stress was evaluated through studying growth parameters...

Abstract In order to study of the effect of substrates on vegetative and ecophysiological characteristics of coleus plant, coleus cuttings containing two leaves were planted in perlite, cocopeat, peatmoss, compost, 50% perlite + 50% cocopeat, 50% perlite + 50% peatmoss, 50% perlite + 50% compost, 5% cocopeat+50% peatmoss, 50% cocopeat + 50% compost and 50% peatmoss + 50% compost with four repl...

  To investigate the effect of cadmium (Cd) on some physiological parameters of safflower genotypes a 3-replicate factorial randomized complete blocks experiment was conducted under hydroponics culture in greenhouse facilities of the Isfahan University of Technology in 2012. Four levels of Cd (control (0), 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 mg/L) were tested on six safflower genotypes (Arak2811, Kouseh, Nebraska...

Due to wasteful use of low-quality irrigation water, many agricultural lands in arid and semi-arid regions of Iran are confronted with salinity phenomenon. Salinity decreases growth and yield of plants, therefore, ways to combat deleterious effects of soil salinity on plant growth should be sought. One of these strategies is physiological prevention of salt accumulation in plants and increasing...

In recent years, in the world and in Iran as well, attention to Lisianthus flowers has been such that its production has increased significantly. With the increase in the production of Lisianthus cut flowers, attention to nutrition and application of treatments to improve the growth and storability of this flower is felt more than ever. For this purpose, the effect of karrikin, salicylic acid a...

asymmetric membranes are widely used in many industrial membrane separation processes. the major advantage of membrane filtration over the conventional process is its ability to remove a wider spectrum of particles without using any chemicals. hollow fiber configuration offer many advantages over flat-sheet or tubular membranes. the spinning process of hollow fiber may look simple, yet it is te...
