Jasmonates are phytohormones that play important roles in plant defense and development. Allene oxide cyclase (AOC; EC 5.3.99.6) catalyzes a crucial step in the jasmonic acid biosynthetic pathway that forms the stereoisomeric ...

Calmodulins, members of the EF-hand family of Ca2+-binding proteins, play significant regulatory roles in the processes of plant cell proliferation, growth, development, photosynthesis and stress resistance. Here, the two ...

Submerged bryophytes are often important constituents of stream vegetation. Almost the whole area of the Tatra mountains (The West Carpathians, 28 streams) has been surveyed by a large number of sampling sites (78) at ...

To investigate the effects of slope aspects and stand age on the photosynthetic and physiological characteristics of black locusts on the Loess Plateau, the responses of photosynthesis and physiology to light radiation ...

The study of gradients can provide basic information about the ecology of plant populations as well as about community organization. In this study, north-south facing vegetation gradients were investigated in a submediterranean ...

The occurrence and growth of submerged macrophytes mainly depends on a suitable light environment. Nowadays, however, lake eutrophication increasing phytoplankton and epiphyton overgrowth has caused shading habitats. This ...

Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is a plant with great medicinal importance cultivated in many regions such as Iran, India, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. In this research, nitrogen and phosphorus ...

The effect of thinning on yield and fruit quality attributes of apricot cv. Trevett was investigated during 2007-08 at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan The experiment consisted of eight ...

The present experiment was conducted at Agricultural University Peshawar, Khyber Pukhtun Khwa Pakistan, to study the response of 6 wheat genotypes to foliar ABA applications and induced salinity stress for their proline ...

The present study was carried out to investigate the physiological (relative water content) pod dry weight, pods plant-1, pod yield (kg plot-1), shelling (%), plant height and biochemical (endogenous ABA level) traits of ...
