Salt stress severely reduces growth and yield of plants. Considering the positive effects selenium (Se) chitosan (Cs) separately against abiotic stress, in these experiments, we synthesized chitosan–selenium nanoparticles (Cs–Se NPs) investigated their ability to reduce negative salt on some biochemical parameters bitter melon (Momordica charantia). Bitter plants were grown at three NaCl salinity levels (0, 50, 100 mM) a foliar spray Cs–Se NPs 10, 20 mg L−1) was applied. Some key...
High salt levels are one of the significant and major limiting factors on crop yield productivity. Out available attempts made against high levels, engineered nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely employed considered as effective strategies in this regard. Of these NPs, titanium dioxide (TiO2 NPs) selenium functionalized using chitosan (Cs–Se were applied for a quite number plants, but their potential roles alleviating adverse effects salinity stevia remains unclear. Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana...
Abstract Background Melatonin is a multi-functional molecule widely employed in order to mitigate abiotic stress factors, general and salt particular. Even though previous reports revealed that melatonin could exhibit roles promoting seed germination protecting plants during various developmental stages of several plant species under stress, no are available with respect the regulatory acts on physiological biochemical status as well expression levels defense- secondary metabolism-related...
Priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increasing performance (germination and emergence) under stress conditions such as salinity, temperature drought stress. The objective this research was to evaluate effect different priming types on germination two medicinal plants including pot marigold (Calendula officinalis) sweet fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) salinity Treatments were combinations 5 levels (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 10 ds m-1) (control, GA3, Manitol, NaCl...
Abstract Cadmium is a heavy metal that pollutes the environment and affects plants physiologically morphologically. Selenium considered as beneficial element, with effective roles in increasing plant tolerance to environmental stresses. A greenhouse factorial pot experiment was conducted study impact of selenium on traits Savory under Cd stress. Experimental factors included soil contamination cadmium (0, 75, 100, 150 μM) foliar spraying 10, 20, 40 μM Sodium Selenate). Biomass,...
A pot-based experiment was conducted on the medicinal plant basil following a completely randomized design in research farm of Iran. Experimental treatments included supplementing basic growth medium, mixture three parts soil and one part sand, with zero (control treatment), 10, 20, 30, 40 50 % volume ratios vermicompost washed unwashed spent mushroom compost (SMC). Macronutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium calcium micronutrients such as iron, zinc, manganese copper have been...
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal which causes environmental pollution and affects physiological morphological characters of plants. Sodium nitroprusside generally used as Nitric Oxide (NO) donor in A glasshouse pot experiment was carried out to investigate the effect exogenous NO on physiological, biochemical enzyme activity savory plants under Cd stress. Experimental factors included soil contamination with cadmium chloride (0 control, 75, 100 150 µM) foliar application four concentrations 50,...
Potatoes are a staple food with high antioxidant properties that can positively affect population health. The beneficial effects of potatoes have been attributed to tuber quality. However, the quality related researches at genetic levels very few. Sexual hybridization is powerful strategy for producing new and valuable genotypes In this study, 42 breeding potato in Iran were selected based on appearance characteristics such as shape, size, color, eyes tubers, yield marketability. tubers...
Heavy metals (HMs) are environmental pollutants of great concern to plants because their high potential toxicity, and that not able tolerate concentrations HMs in the soil can become tolerant or increase performance when associated with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AFM) fungi. A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted study impact mycorrhiza on traits Coriander under Pb stress. Experimental factors included contamination (0, 500, 1000, 1500 ppm) fungus inoculation (Glomus mosseae). Biomass,...
An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of vermicompost on growth, yield and nutrient contents cucumber grown under glasshouse conditions. This performed in completely randomized design with five replications. The base medium (control) selected be a mixture 75% farm soil 25% sand that had been substituted 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 60% by volume cow manure vermicompost. highest leaf area, stem numbers, root dry weight, fruit yield, chlorophyll content were resulted from substitution...
Effect of vermicompost treatments on essential oil content and composition Satureja hortensis L. were studied under drought stress conditions. A factorial experiment based completely randomized design with three replications conducted in greenhouse condition at University Mohaghegh Ardabili, Iran. In this levels (Full irrigation, water cut 50 % flowering, early stages flowering) (volume ratios 0, 10, 20 30 v/v pots) was analyzed. The results indicated that, the highest contents (1.43 1.4 %)...
abstractApplication of organic fertilizers in the production these plants to eliminate or substantially reduce use chemical inputs and improve growth quality plants. For instance, present study effect vermicompost spent mushroom compost application on nutritional status essential oil components summer Savory (Satureja hortensis L.) was investigated.This experiment conducted research greenhouse Faculty Agriculture at Mohaghegh Ardabili University layout completely randomized design with five...
Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) is one of the most important medicinal plants used in various pharmaceutical, osmotic, health, and food industries. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis viewed as several methods to improve growth under heavy metals stress. To investigate effects cadmium (Cd) AMF bio-fertilizers on morpho-physiological characteristics thyme, a greenhouse experiment was performed three replications. Experimental treatments included Cd at levels 0, 75, 150 mg/kg soil without...
AbstractThe Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say is one of the most important defoliator pests in world and it often causes extremely large yield losses. Potatoes are preferred hosts for pest, but may feed reproduce on a number other plants Solanaceae family. Public concern related to pesticides their residues foods had prompted rise consumer interest organically produced foods. There have been growing efforts detect introduce suitable plant compounds that they...
