Plants have an ability to prevent chlorophyll accumulation, which would mask the bright flower color, in their petals. In contrast, leaves contain substantial amounts of chlorophyll, as it is essential for photosynthesis. The mechanisms of organ-specific chlorophyll accumulation are unknown. To identify factors that determine the chlorophyll content in petals, we compared the expression of gene...

to study the physiological and morphological relationships of two clover species affected by herbicides, pursuit experiment in a factorial based on randomized completely design with 3 replications at the damavand in 2012. the first factor consisted of two species of trifolium pretense l. and trifolium alexandrinum l. and the second factor consisted of three levels of herbicide pursuit (0, 0.5, ...

in order to study the effect of iron chelate (fe-eddha) on some biochemical characteristic of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) under two irrigation regimes, a field experiment was set up a split-plot based on randomized block design with four replication in 2011 in a research field of the faculty of agriculture at shahed university. in this study the main plots consisted of two levels of irr...

abstract- to investigate the effect of draught stress on water relations, stomatal density, chlorophyll content and yield of rapeseed, an experiment was done with four levels of drought stress including l1 (field capacity, fc), l2 (70% available water content, awc), l3 (50% awc), and l4 (30% awc), within three growth stages- including stem elongation (t1), onset of flowering (t2) and silique fo...

to study the effect of humic acid and drought stress on some physiological characteristics of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa) an experiment was conducted in the research field of agricultural education centre of jiroft in 2013. field experiment was carried out as split plot design with three replications. water deficit stress as main factor with three levels (a1 = irrigation after 50, a2 = 100 an...

The objective of this study was to evaluate total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of leaf and different parts of fruit (hull, shell, and kernel) of Bene in Ilam province. Total phenolic content was determined with the Folin- Ciocalteu Reagent (FCR); antioxidant activity of methanolic extracts were examined by DPPH (2,2diphenyl- 1- picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant pow...

This study was conducted to determine effect of water stress on chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter in young `Dezful’ olive trees. Three irrigation regimes (40% ETcrop, 65% ETcrop and 100% ETcrop) were used. After irrigation treatments were applied, some of biochemical parameters including chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, chlorophyll fluorescence and also chlorophyll ...
