information of heavy metal toxicity about physiological aspect of lettuce is limited. therefore an experiment was conducted in crd designed with 7 replications on lettuce (lactuca sativa l.). treatments were cadmium in 3 concentration (0, 2 and 4 mg/l) added to hoagland solution. results were shown that increasing in cadmium of nutrient solution caused increasing in sod, pod antioxidant and pro...

zagros (drought tolerant) and pishtaz (drought susceptible) cultivars were classified on the basis of shoot dry weight and were used as plant material in this study. total chlorophyll, carotenoids, antocyanins, proline, soluble sugar contents, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activities and protein patterns were determined. seedlings of wheat genotypes were grown in nutrient solution cult...

Remote measurements of different environmental parameters received during last 30 years are used for the synthesis of a Complex Simulation Model (CSM) describing the combined water regimes of the Aral-Caspian System (ACS) including the consideration of aquatic and climatic natural processes. The problem of stabilizing the sea levels of these two water bodies is modelled and a solution obtained ...

Biomass, nutrient removal capacity, lipid productivity and morphological changes of Chlorella sorokiniana and Desmodesmus communis were investigated in mixed wastewaters with different CO2 concentrations. Under optimal condition, which was 1:3 ratio of swine wastewater to second treated municipal wastewater with 5% CO2, the maximum biomass concentrations were 1.22 g L-1 and 0.84 g L-1 for C. so...

this study was carried out to determine the appropriate size of caspian trout ( salmo caspius kessler, 1877) juveniles for releasing into the rivers that enter south of the caspian sea for stock enhancement, or possibility of cage culture in the caspian sea. a total of 1611 specimens in 4 weight groups of 5, 10, 15 and 20g were exposed to 3 salinity trials which include caspian sea water (11- 1...

The photosynthetic performance of sea ice microalgae, benthic microalgae, coralline red algae (Phymatolithon foecundum) and brown macroalgae (Laminaria saccharina, Fucus evanescens and Desmarestia aculeata) in an ice-covered high-Arctic fjord (Young Sound, NE Greenland) was studied with in situ instruments for oxygen microprofiling and active chlorophyll fluorescence measurements. In situ measu...
