Item Effect of drought stress and paclobutrazol- treated seeds on physiological response of festuca arundinacea L. master and lolium perenne L. barrage(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2011) Shahrokhi, Mahsa; Tehranifar, Ali; Hadizadeh, Haniye; Selahvarzi, YahyaTo study interaction between drought stress and pachlobutrazol as treated seeds before planting, seeds of Festuca arundinacea L. Master and Lolium perenne L. Barrage were soaked with 0, 20, 30 and 40 mg.L-1 paclobutrazol for 24 h on shaker during imbibitions stage of seed germination. Treated seeds were sowed in the pots. After 102 days, when the seedlings well established, drought stress was applied in 50% field capacity (FC), 25% FC and well-watered. Interaction effect of Paclobutrazol × drought stress × cultivar was significant on relative water content (RWC). Drought stress increased electrolyte leakage whereas the highest concentration of paclobutrazol reduced EL. The highest total chlorophyll content was observed in Master at wellwatered however at 25% FC in Barrage the lowest chlorophyll content is resulted. Paclobutrazol 40 mgL-1 was the highest total chlorophyll content. Festuca arundinacea L. Master at 25% FC Was the highest proline content. All paclobutrazol concentrations in Festuca arundinacea L. Master resulted higher proline content. Paclobutrazol 20 mgL-1 at 25% FC had higher shoot dry weight. The highest root dry weight resulted in Barrage at well-watered with 30 mgL-1 paclobutrazol. Root length was the highest in well-watered and lower in 25% FC.Item Effect of ethanol, methanol and essential oils as novel agents to improve vase-life of alstroemeria flowers(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2011) Bazaz, Azadeh Mousavi; Tehranifar, AliThe production of Alstroemeria flowers has been rapidly increasing in the world. In this research effect of different concentrations of ethanol (4, 7, 10%) methanol (4, 7, 10%) as pulse treatments and some essential oils (50 or 100 mg L−1 peppermint (Mentha piperata L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) and black cumin (Bunium persicum (Boiss.) B. Fedtsch)) on flower longevity, solution uptake, fresh weight and SPAD value as a measure of leaf greenness of Alstroemeria peruviana ‘santorini’ were analyzed. Results showed alcohol treatments had no positive effect on increasing vase life of Alstroemeria. Applying essential oils could extend the vase-life. The greatest longevity of vase life was related to 50 mg L−1 of thyme essential oil treatment and approximately it improved inflorescence cut vase life more than 2 days longer than control treatment. The greatest solution uptake and decrease in fresh weight were seen in 100 mg L−1 peppermint essential oil and 100 mg L−1 thyme essential oil, respectively. Essential oils could not maintain SPAD value in higher amount than control treatment but these compounds particularly 50 mg L−1 thyme, peppermint and black cumin essential oil are useful for increasing vase life of Alstroemeria.Item The effects of shrub pruning and fruit thinning on seed germination and seedling of tomato in the next generation lycopersicon esculentum mill(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2011) Tabasi, Atefeh; Nemati, Hossein; Tehranifar, Ali; Akbari, MohammadSeed is the main principle of agricultural products and it has a key role as first consumable input to transfer genetic Characters. In this investigation the effects of cultivar, shrub pruning and fruit thinning on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of tomato (seed and seedling) have been evaluated. Experiment was performed by factorial analysis (3×2×3) with 5 replications in completely randomized design (CRD). First treatment was three cultivars of tomato, second treatment was two styles of shrub pruning, in which all of subsidiary branches are removed (Type 1) and one cluster and leaf on subsidiary branches are remained and then extras removed (Type 2) and Third treatment was fruit thinning. Each tomato cultivar was fruit thinned to three different levels (4, 5 and 6 fruit for each plant). The results showed that all treatments had significant influence on weight of 1000 seeds for the next generation. The effects of cultivar and fruit thinning were significant on germination percentage. But shrub pruning did not affect the germination percentage of seeds. Also effects of cultivar and fruit thinning were considerable on fresh and dry weight of seedling root and stem. The effect of fruit thinning and cultivar were significant on height and the number of seedling leaflet. Totally fruit thinning and shrub pruning had a vital role in increasing qualitative and quantitative characteristics of seed and seedling.
