Nitrogen (N) is a major enzyme constituent making it a determining factor in plant yield and health. When a plant is deficient in N the shoot:root ratio typically decreases, chlorosis occurs, and growth is reduced. The objective of this study was to determine the level of nitrogen needed for optimal growth of corn. Plants were grown in containers and watered with 0, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, and 10 mM N f...

Effects of nitrogen on the leaf chlorophyll (chl), yield and yield attributing characters of potato as tuber number and mean tuber weight were studied. Correlation coefficients between the investigated characters were determined. Five nitrogen rates (0, 150, 200, 250 and 300 kg/ha) and four potato cultivars (Burren, Slaney, Anna and Emma) were used in the study. First, second, third class tuber...

in order to determination of partitioning n fertilizer by using of leaf color chart (lcc) and chlorophyll meter (spad) in rice an experiment was conducted as split plot under randomized complete block design with three replications during 2006 and 2007 at rice research institute of iran. main plots were contained cultivars in three levels (grh1, khazar and hashemi) and sub plots were contained ...

Light-dependent O(2) reduction concomitant with O(2) evolution, ATP formation, and NADP reduction were determined in isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. var. America) chloroplast lamellae fortified with NADP and ferredoxin. These reactions were investigated in the presence or absence of catalase, providing a tool to estimate the reduction of O(2) to H(2)O(2) (Mehler reaction) concomitant wit...
