To explore the function of light-harvesting complex protein (LHCP) in Arabidopsis growth and development, the Leclere and Bartel seed collection was screened. In this collection randomly cloned cDNAs are expressed under the CaMV35S promoter. A pale green line has been identified and characterized in more details. Analysis of the inserted cDNA in the pale green line showed it encodes LHCB1 prote...

in this research, the effect of water stress on the soluble sugars, starch and proteins content of two different cultivars (kaka and jam) of chickpea (cicer arietinum) was studied. the results showed that the soluble sugars increased while starch decreased during the stress in shoot and root of both cultivars. increasing of soluble sugars and decreasing of starch hall a positive correlation wit...

Abstract Background As a biennial plant, Secale cereale L is usually harvested in the autumn northern part of China where temperature difference between day and night great disparity Through pot experiment, seedlings were cut to 2, 6 10 cm stubble height, simulated freeze-thaw (FT) stress (10/− 5 °C) was carried out after days regrowth. The physiological effects FT with different height reveale...

drought is the most common environmental stress in vineyard occurs in soils with low water content, even in irrigation condition. to evaluate foliar spraying of ascorbic acid under drought stress, a research during 2012 to 2013 years in the natural environment, and one year after the establishment of the cuttings in clay loam soil was conducted. cultivars with two-level white seedless and khosh...

Autophagy is one of the main mechanisms of degradation and remobilization of macromolecules, and it appears to play an important role in petal senescence. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanisms of autophagy in petal senescence. Autophagic processes were observed by electron microscopy and monodansylcadaverine staining of senescing petals of petunia (Petunia hybrida); autophagy...

Narcissus is one of the very popular flowers among Iranians. This flower has a short life. To investigate the increasing of vase life of cut Narcissus, sour orange fruit extract in concentrations of 2.5, 4, 5.5 and 7 ml L-1 and sucrose in concentrations of 3, 4, 5 and 6% were used. In addition, distilled water was used as a control treatment. In this experiment, characters of vase life and perc...

frost in early spring is one of the limiting factors in the production of grape. chemicals offer useful approach to reduce low temperature-induced damages. different concentrations of salicylic acid including: 0 (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mm were sprayed twice on 10 year-old ‘bidaneh sefid’ grape vines at full bloom stage and changes in leaf soluble carbohydrates, proline and protein levels were m...
