Fariba Morsali Aghajari; Reza Darvishzadeh; Mitra Razi

Volume 8, Issue 2 , December 2020, Pages 10-20

https://doi.org/10.22058/jpmb.2022.533895.1237

Abstract
  Salinity is one of the most important non-biological stresses that affect plant growth and development. Effect of different levels of NaCl (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 dS/m) were investigated on enzymatic and non-enzymatic activities in C64 and C68 oilseed sunflower genotypes at two times; 3 and 12 days after salinity ...  Read More

Mostafa Zibanezhadian; Babak Pakdaman Sardrood; Hengameh Taheri; Mohammad Farkhari

Volume 8, Issue 2 , December 2020, Pages 29-37

https://doi.org/10.22058/jpmb.2022.543818.1245

Abstract
  Under global warmth conditions, it is expected that tomato yield will reduce due to insect pests and fungal diseases such as fusarium wilt. Using of biological control agents is effective in the control of both groups as regard as an ecofriendly and economically rational practice. Here, Bacillus thuringiensis ...  Read More

Evaluation the effect of senescence on the mineral remobilization in two bread wheat cultivars

Abolfazl Mazandarani; Saeid Navabpour; Ahad Yamchi

Volume 8, Issue 2 , December 2020, Pages 38-49

https://doi.org/10.22058/jpmb.2021.537769.1240

Abstract
  The main source of protein and micronutrients in wheat grains is the flag leaf and to a lesser extent the lower leaves. As healthy leaves reach the final stage of growth, senescence, they remobilize the nutrients necessary before tissue destruction and death. This experiment was carried out in Golestan ...  Read More

Expression analysis of SiSOD gene family during Sesamum indicum L. seed germination under various abiotic stresses

Seyedhamidreza Hashemipetroudi; Esmail Bakhshandeh

Volume 8, Issue 2 , December 2020, Pages 50-60

https://doi.org/10.22058/jpmb.2022.548053.1251

Abstract
  Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed is a rich source of oil and protein, which could be used for cooking or primary source for some industrial applications. Seed germination is the most fundamental stage of a plant’s life cycle, which is significantly influenced by various abiotic stresses. As a first ...  Read More

Volume 8, Issue 2 , December 2020, Pages 61-72

https://doi.org/10.22058/jpmb.2022.546717.1249

Abstract
  Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis could mitigate the adverse effects of abiotic stresses in various plants. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of AMF-inoculation on expression of several stress-responsive genes in two rice cultivars under different water conditions. The seedlings ...  Read More
