araucaria excelsa l. of araucariaceae family is a beautiful conifer which has a high economic importance in the flower industry. a factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with two factors: 1. irrigation intervals in 2, 4 and 6 days (i1, i2 and i3) and 2. the growth bed in pots 3 l included m1 (100 % v/v cocopeat), m2 (100%  municipal waste compost), m3 (100 % vermicompo...

to investigate the effects of deficit irrigation and different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on somequantitative and qualitative properties of melissa, a pot experiment was conducted for one year (2011) inmazandaran province. experiment was carried out as a factorial based on randomized complete blockdesign with three replications. irrigation treatments (25, 52 and 75 percent field capacity, fc...

this experiment was designed to characterize the effects of size and concentration of an iranian clinoptilolite zeolite on the growth officus benjamina (starlight) in peat base media. ficus benjamina was stock rooted and grown in a peat consisting perlite (2: 1 v/v) (p: pe), zeolite (10, 20, 30 and 40 v/v %, two sizes 0.5-3 mm and 3-8 mm) instead of peat in p: pe (2: 1 v/v) media. ficus benjami...

Naturally-occurring variation in K(+) concentrations between plant genotypes is potentially exploitable in a number of ways, including altering the relationship between K(+) accumulation and growth, enhancing salinity resistance, or improving forage quality. However, achieving these requires greater insight into the genetic basis of the variation in tissue K(+) concentrations. To this end, K(+)...

abstract in this study a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the role of acc deaminase enzyme on alleviation of salinity stress of canola plant. canola plants were exposed to pseudomonas fluorescens strain p12 which contains a rhizobacter capable of producing pseudomonas fluorescens in comparison with plants exposed to mutant pm12 unable to produce the required enzyme. the mutant wa...
