Heavy metals contamination of soil is a widespread global problem. One approach to reduce the accumulation of heavy metals in plants is using of different growing substrates. In order to investigate of different combinations substrate and heavy metals effect on physiological and biochemical traits in bean) cv. Sadri), an experiment was conducted. The first factor included four salt of heavy met...

Freezing is one of the most important climatic factors affecting almond products in Isfahan province. Therefore, it is important to use a rapid method for assessing the resistant cultivars and wild species of these plants. Evaluation of electrolyte leakage (EL) from freezing damaged tissues of almond is an appropriate method for this purpose. In the present work, the effect of freezing on the r...

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of polyamines on growth, flowering and corm production of ‘Golden Wave’ and ‘Blue Sea’ cultivars of freesia. For this purpose, freesia plants were sprayed at 35, 70 and 100 days after planting with concentrations of 0.5 and 1 mM of putrescine, spermidine and spermine and distilled water (control). The factorial ex...

Nickel is  an essential microelement for plant growth, but upper levels of this element serve as heavy metal  which create toxic effects on plants and human. Application of mineral nutrition is a useful strategy for overcoming of this serious problem.  In order to investigate the effects silicon nutrition on growth and physiology indices of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) under nicke...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of glycerol (GL) and salicylic acid (SA) on freezing tolerance of Iranian Petunia (Petunia hybrida). For this purpose, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was conducted under controlled conditions. The first factor was temperature (0 and -4 °C) and the second factor was spraying with anti-stres...
