Soybean (Glycine max L.) is considered as one of the major sources of oil and protein. In this study, the effects of vermicompost (VC) and sulfur (S) on soybean photosynthesis responses, yield, and grain quality were studied. To this end, a split-plot design field experiment based on randomized complete blocks with nine treatments and three replications was conducted in Aligudarz city Lorestan ...

The combined effect of selenium (Se) foliar spraying and drought was studied for 3 months in two cultivars of potato; Bard and Adora in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Four combinations of treatments were conducted: well-watered plants with and without Se foliar spraying, and drought exposed plants with and without Se foliar spraying. Net photosynthesis, transpiration rate, quantum yield of photosystem II...

abstract a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of soil copper (cu) and salinity application on photosynthesis parameters, enzyme activity and anatomical structure of two pistachio cultivars. a factorial greenhouse experiment was carried out as completely randomized design with three replications. treatments consisted of four cu levels (0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 mg kg-1soil as cuso...

Over the next 40 years it has been estimated that a 50% increase in the yield of grain crops such as wheat and rice will be required to meet the food and fuel demands of the increasing world population. Transgenic tobacco plants have been generated with altered combinations of sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase, and the cyanobacterial putative-inorganic carbon ...

Photosynthesis is one of the principle biochemical processes underpinning plant growth and development. Because of its basic nature, it is intimately involved with reproductive growth and determining crop yields. Photosynthesis of a crop canopy can be broken down into three components: 1) leaf area development, 2) photosynthetic rate per leaf area, and 3) partitioning assimilates between vegeta...

Plants capture solar energy and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through photosynthesis, which is the primary component of crop yield, and needs to be increased considerably to meet the growing global demand for food. Environmental stresses, which are increasing with climate change, adversely affect photosynthetic carbon metabolism (PCM) and limit yield of cereals such as rice (Oryza sativa) th...

salinity affects the yield and quality of fruits crops as result of modifying water and nutrient uptake. in split root system, it should be possible to reduce the deleterious effect of salinity on the plant growth. therefore, an experiment was conducted on strawberry with different concentration of nacl (0, 30, 60 and 90 mm) in a completely randomized blocks design in studding hydroponic greenh...
