Soil salinity is a global problem, which predicted to worsen in arid and semi-arid regions due climate change. The aim of this study was understand the remediation potential biochar alleviating salt stress by studying its effects on growth physiological parameters tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). A completely randomized design (CRD) used where three different doses (0%, 5% (v/v), 10% (v/v)) were applied soil under saline (100 M) non-saline conditions. Our results showed that while affected...
Pectin was first dissolved in distilled water and blended with low contents of polyethylene oxide 2000 (PEO2000) as the carrier polymer to produce electrospun fibers. The electrospinning solution pectin at 9.5 wt% containing 0.5 PEO2000 selected it successfully resulted continuous non-defected ultrathin fibers highest content. However, annealing resultant pectin-based fibers, tested different conditions, developed films mechanical integrity, high porosity, also dark color due their poor...
Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic and very mobile heavy metal that can be adsorbed uptaken by plants in large quantities without any visible sign. Therefore, stabilization of Cd before uptake crucial to the conservation biodiversity food safety. Owing high number carboxyl phenolic hydroxyl groups their structure, humic substances form strong bonds with metals which makes them perfect stabilizing agents. The aim this study was determine effects fulvic acid (HA + FA) levels (0, 3500, 5250, 7000...
Drought adversely affects many physiological and biochemical events of crops. This research was conducted to investigate the possible effects biostimulants containing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on growth parameters, chlorophyll content, membrane permeability (MP), leaf relative water content (LRWC), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), proline, malondialdehyde (MDA), hormone antioxidant enzymes (catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), superoxide dismutase (SOD)) activity tomato (Solanum...
Iron deficiency, which severely decreases the plant yield and quality, is one of major problems calcareous soils. Foliar applications humic substances and/or Fe fertilizers are environmentally friendly methods to cope with deficiency. The aim this study was investigate combined effect Fe/nano humic/fulvic acid-based biostimulant foliar on content growth parameters spinach. Treatment solutions were prepared either by mixing a common fertilizer, FeSO4·7H2O, different commercial biostimulants...
Plant biostimulants are microorganisms (PGPR) and/or products obtained from different organic substances that positively affect plant growth and efficiency reduce the negative effects of abiotic challenges. Effects on growth, yield, mineral content, antioxidant enzyme activity, H 2 O , malondialdehyde (MDA), sucrose, proline contents cherry tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum var. cerasiforme L.) grown in soils with two characteristics were investigated during a pot study under greenhouse...
ABSTRACT Characterizing the parameters critical to prediction of a successful electrospinning process from solution properties is essential, yet, not easy in case biopolymers. In this study, we attempted present broad perspective by simultaneously evaluating effect eight different parameters, namely zero shear viscosity, tip elastic modulus, phase angle, cohesive energy, pH, conductivity, and surface tension, on formation smooth pectin nanofibers. Our results showed that (1) viscosity an...
Melatonin (MT) is considered to be a hormone involved in increasing tolerance plants under stress. The effect of different doses (0, 50, and 100 µM) MT on the growth, biochemical physiological properties chickpea salt stress was investigated. Salt significantly suppressed leaf relative water content (LRWC), chlorophyll reading value (CRV), a, b, total chlorophyll. Salinity conditions also caused decrease macro- micronutrients, while electrolyte leakage (EL), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2),...
Abstract Salt stress is a worldwide major threat to agricultural production. The aim was investigate the effects of exogenous dopamine (DA) treatments on physiological, morphological and biochemical characteristics tomato seedlings under salinity stress. created using 100 mM NaCl solution. Dopamine solutions (0, 50, 200 µM) were applied with 7-day intervals. significantly suppressed plant growth DA alleviated negative salt seedlings. µM treatment increased root dry weights, stem diameter,...
ABSTRACT: The production of xanthan gum, an industrially important microbial exopolysaccharide, was enhanced by using Xanthomonas campestris cells adsorbed to cotton fibers. However, the function polymers during cell adsorption has not been elucidated. Polyethylenimine (PEI), a cationic polyelectrolyte, employed investigate respective effects fiber surface properties and adsorption. Adsorption X. independent roughness hairiness, effect electrostatic interactions between insignificant. Fiber...
ABSTRACT: The diffusion properties of curdlan gels were characterized against its viscoelastic behavior. With increased junction zones involved in rigid crosslinks higher concentration gels, the three‐dimensional structure is characteristic. As gel increases, intermolecular crosslinking and apparent viscosity increase, reducing mobility polymer chains with slower release rates. scaling laws confirmed that network corresponds to a good solvent at semi‐dilute regime. Diffusion entrapped agent...
Food packaging technology has been advancing to provide safe and high quality food products minimize waste. Moreover, there is a dire need replace plastic materials in order reduce environmental pollution. The aim of this study was prepare biodegradable antimicrobial films from gelatin. Boric acid, disodium octaborate tetrahydrate, sodium pentaborate were incorporated as the agents. Films containing boric acid its salts showed antibacterial effect against Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas...
Summary Although the health effects of olive phenolics, hydroxytyrosol (HX), are well known, their utilisation is not at forefront phenolics market. Besides, 99% lost during oil production (2.2 million tons year −1 ). This study aims to develop a functional hydrogel for foods using commercial powder derived from mill wastewater and methylcellulose (MC). The final recipe, multi‐hydrocolloid recipe (MC gelatine with low gelling temperature) based on minimum HX loss acceptable sensory...
The study was carried out under salt-stress conditions, and three non-microbial commercial organic fertilizers purchased from Humintech GmbH (Grevenbroich, Germany) were applied to the soil for strawberry plants. promoters Fulvagra®, based on fulvic acid, Liqhumus®, humic Microsense Root®, also acid. Treatment with Fulvagra® resulted in a remarkable 69.90% increase average fruit weight 39.52% yield These improvements remained significant when combined plant growth promoting rhizobacteria...
Intercropping systems are one of the sustainable agricultural models as they play an important role in protecting soil fertility, efficient use resources, maintaining stable yields, and reducing effectiveness diseases pests. The aim this study was to investigate effects intercropping (IC) cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. var. botrytis) with leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa crispa) on yield quality parameters evaluate overall productivity system under different nitrogen fertilization rates (160,...
