Different stages/sizes of the same explants have different regenerative capacity even cultured on the same nutrient medium. In present study different stages/sizes of various explants including nodal cultures from different ...

Genetic diversity is very important for developing new crop varieties with high yield and other desirable traits. Consequently it assists in increasing food production and improving the level of human nutrition. Genetic ...

The genotype by environment (G×E) interactions can be observed by differential genotypic responses to varied environmental conditions. Its effect is to limit the accuracy of yield estimates and complicate the identification ...

The objectives of this study were to estimate the genetic diversity and to evaluate the relationship between eight chickpea genotypes that is the valuable source for breeding. Chickpea seed is a good source of carbohydrates ...

Cadmium (Cd) is one heavy metal which is toxic and can cause physiological disorder of plants. In the present experiment, effects of Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a NO donor, on the phenotype, photosynthesis and oxidative ...

Salt stress is considered as a restricting factor for plant products. Therefore, many compounds have been applied to minimize the harmful effects of salinity. Carrot roots extract is one of the natural biostimulant compounds ...

The study focuses on the effect of supplemental UV-B radiation on germination, seedling growth, chlorophyll a and b contents, soluble phenols, anthocyanins, flavones contents, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) activity and ...

The study was conducted to appraise the effect of saline stress on growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, mineral nutrients and non-enzymatic antioxidants in 2 mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] lines (97001 ...

Effect of several concentrations of NaCl or sea salt was studied on seeds germination of two halophytic grasses- an annual (Eragrostis ciliaris) and a perennial (Dichanthium annulatum) in controlled growth chambers maintained ...

The effect of chloride and sulfate salts of Na+ , K+ and Mg2+ on seed germination of a halophytic grass Phragmites karka was studied under different dark/light conditions and a range of temperature regimes. Seeds germinated ...
