The present study an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer of Rosenvigea intricata with or without chemical fertilizer on seed germination, growth, yield, pigment content and soil profile of Abelmoschus esculentus was analyzed. The seed germination, shoot length, root length, number of lateral roots, number of leaves, number of vegetables, length of vegeta...

The usefulness of nondestructive methods for measuring chlorophyll content in skin of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples and for evaluating quality parameters and fruit maturity using optical reflectance spectrometry was studied. The fruit weight, firmness, total soluble solids content and titratable acidity during vegetation period and short-term storage at 10°C of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples were measur...

In this study, morphological and physiological effects of the stress with the UV-C rays on the industrial Atlanta type beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L. Cv, Atlanta) were analyzed. The plants were raised in an automated green house with the ecological conditions. The plants were grown in the green house with UV-C lamb (250) for 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 days. After which their root lengths and seeding hei...

selection of genotypes based on high value of heritability and forecasted genetic conditions would be an effective method for improvement of wheat cultivars. the present investigation was carried out to estimate the genetic variability of agro-physiological characters using biometrical genetic techniques in 20 bread wheat genotypes under irrigated condition. for this purpose an experiment was c...

this study was aimed to study the ways of removing dormancy period and accelerating pre-sowing tuber germination to provide simple tools to apply by farmers. for this purpose, intact tubers, exposed tubers to released ethylene and sliced tubers were examined in respect to germination characters, bud length, starch, anthocyanin and chlorophyll contents and amylase activity. relative amount of an...

The effect of different light regimes (100, 85 and 70 % solar exposition) on coffee plants (Coffea arabica L. var. Caturra) was studied. There was an overall effect of solar exposition levels on growth at different crop growth stages, plant height and stem diameter being the most affected variables with higher values in 85 % solar exposition. Relative water content showed daily variations with ...

An Arabidopsis thaliana chlorophyll(ide) a oxygenase gene (cao), which is responsible for chlorophyll b synthesis from chlorophyll a, was introduced and expressed in a photosystem I-less strain of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. In this strain, most chlorophyll is associated with the photosystem II complex. In line with observations by Satoh et al. [Satoh, S., Ikeuchi, M., Mimuro...

The effects of UV-B radiation on the amount of chlorophyll a, b, carotenoids, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and polyphenols of three soybean cultivars was studied. After germination in the incubator, plants were put in pots of soil and during 3 weeks and irrigated with Hoagland solution every day. After 3 weeks, plants were exposed to UV-B for 20 min every day for a week. In each cultivar, UV-B red...
