Heavy metals (HMs) phytoremediation is a well-recognized protocol to remove toxic elements from the soil. As known, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhance plants' growth responses. The idea of present study was assay response lavender plants HMs stress under AMF inoculation. We hypothesized that mycorrhiza will and simultaneously reduce harmful effects heavy HMs. So, (Lavandula angustifolia L.) were inoculated with (0 5 g Kg-1 soil) Pb [150 225 mg kg-1 soil (NO3)2] Ni [220 330 pollution,...

Microalgae are gaining attention as a sustainable and efficient alternative in modern agriculture due to their biostimulant biofertilizer effects, which promote plant growth improve resistance abiotic stress factors. Their effectiveness vary according factors such concentration stage. This study evaluates the potential of Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) stimulate various parameters, including growth, biomass, leaf development, flowering. The trial was carried out greenhouse, using...

The cowpea weevil, Callosobruchus maculatus F. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae), is an important pest of stored cowpea, Vigna ungiculata (L.) Walpers (Fabales: Fabaceae), with ample distribution in tropical and subtropical regions. Many plant essential oils have a broad-spectrum activity against insects, these traditionally been used the protection products. In this study, lethal sublethal effects from Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) Heracleum persicum Desf. (Apiales: Apiaceae)...

Phytoremediation of heavy metals (HMs) is an efficient methodology to remove toxic from the soil. On other hand, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are utilized as biological fertilizers they improve root expansion, nutrient uptake, shoot growth, and plant performance. In this study, effect AMF inoculation on morphological traits, macro- micronutrient contents, essential oil content (EOC), yield (EOY) lavender (Lavandula angustifolia L.) was investigated, under HM (Pb Ni) stress in...

An efficient method to instantly assess drought-tolerant plants after germination is using osmoregulation in tissue culture media. In this study, the responses of three Iranian melon genotypes sorbitol (0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 M) or polyethylene glycol (PEG) (0.009, 0.012, 0.015 were evaluated as drought stress simulators MS medium. 'Girke' (GIR), 'Ghobadloo' (GHO), 'Toghermezi' (TOG) genotypes. GIR reputed a genotype Iran. The PEG decreased coleoptile length, fresh weight, photosynthetic pigments...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of salinity stress and foliar applications graphene oxide, nano-Fe, selenium on basil's growth physiological responses. The results revealed that treatments affected plant dry weight, essential oil, malondialdehyde content, relative water content as well hydrogen peroxide, proline, sodium, iron, phosphorus sodium potassium ratio. highest weight oil were recorded under no-salinity 50 mM × iron nanoparticle use, while 100 with no spraying...

Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different drying methods (shade drying, sun and oven at 40°C 60°C) on essential oil content composition common basil (Ocimum basilicum L.).
