The effects of different concentrations of Zinc oxide nano particles (ZnONP; 0, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg L-1) and Humic acid (HA; 0, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 mg L-1) on root length and number, leaf length and number, bulb diameter, and chlorophyll, total phenol, anthocyanin and flavonoid contents were examined under in vitro conditions. Total phenol, flavonoid and anthocyanin contents were signif...

in the turfgrass industry, the need for salinity tolerant turfgrasses is increasing because of the increased use of saline and non-potable water. greenhouse container experiments were conducted to determine the relative salinity tolerance and growth responses of eleven native populations of tall fescue (festuca arundinacea schrub) (tf), including: semirom, mashhad, sanandaj, yasuj, yazd abad, d...

evaluation of morphological variations in 70 genotypes of seven accessions of thymus caramanicus jalas.growing in central iran was carried out, for determining valuable characters for future breeding programs and medicinal purposes. in this study 30 quantitative and qualitative characters were evaluated. the results revealed great variabilities of important traits among populations. results of ...

background and objectives:  hawthorn is a forest fruit tree which is grown in the temperate regions around the world. this plant is known as the most traditional herbal remedy for heart failure and cardiovascular disease in worldwide. this study has been conducted to investigate the genetic variability and classify hawthorn genotypes based on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of leaf...

there is little information available on morphological and agronomic traits, as well aschemical compositions of iranian mint landraces. this study was conducted to investigate themorphological, agronomic and oil content characteristics of iranian mint landraces using twelvelandraces, three of which belong to mentha longifolia, and the remaining, mentha spicata l, originatedfrom central regions ...

The characterization of biomass and its dynamics provides valuable information for the assessment of natural and transplanted eelgrass populations. The need for simple, nondestructive assessments has led to the use of the leaf biomass-to-length ratio for converting leaf-length measurements, which can be easily obtained, to leaf growth rates through the plastochrone method. Using data on leaf bi...

to evaluate the effect of environment on the general and specific combining ability of virginia tobacco genotypes, five varieties were intercrossed in combination in 2007 in a half – diallel design. in 2008, the ten f1 population and the five parental lines were sown in two different conditions (drought stress and non-stress) using a complete randomized block design with three replications and ...
