Environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. Due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. Air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. This study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on Conocarpus erectus...

water deficit is an important factor limiting crop production worldwide. drought stress can be managed by improving the availability of soil moisture conserved and selecting drought tolerant genotypes. several physiological indices including stomatal conductance (kl), relative water content (rwc), leaf temperature (tl) and crop temperature stability (cts) along with yield, its components and se...

The water relations play a fundamental role in seed comprehension of biology. In order to describe the process of drying and the effect on water activity, which controls biological change in storage, a sound knowledge of the relationship between equilibrium moisture content (EMC) and water activity/equilibrium relative humidity (ERH) is essential. The relationship between the total moisture con...
