        In order to investigate the effect of different concentrations of KNO3 on physiological and biochemical properties of maize (Zea mays L.) under salinity stress a factorial experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design at the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili in 2021. Treatments included three salinity levels (0, 100 and 200 Mm) and three KNO3 levels (0, 1.5 and 3%). The results showed that the highest germination percentage (GP), germination rate (GR), germination uniformity (GU), radicle and plumule length (RL and PL) and radicle fresh and dry weight (RFW and RDW) was related to priming with KNO3 3% and without salinity. Mean of germination time (MGT) compared to the control showed a reduction about 53%. The activity of catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase enzymes in priming with KNO3 3% and 200 mM salinity compared to the control showed an increase about 56, 68 and 67%, respectively. Salinity decreased the activity of amylase, but priming with KNO3 increased the activity of this enzyme. The total seed protein content in KNO3 3% pretreatment and without salinity was increased about 63%. In general, priming with KNO3 3% solution can be considered as the best treatment to improve the physiological and biochemical properties of corn under salinity stress. Manuscript profile

        The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most important agricultural plants in the world. Today, potato is the fourth most important food crop in the world after wheat, rice and corn. It is propagated predominantly by asexual method (tubers and minitubers). However, propagation by true seed is primarily used for breeding purposes (enhancement of breeding populations) and genetic studies. The traditional methods for asexual propagation of the plant face important problems including contamination of tubers and plants and decreased crops. Therefore, the seed tubers can be replaced by micrutubers produced by tissue culture. In this study solid and culture media used for produce of sterile plantlets and microtuberization. The aim of this study is search about effect of different concentrations of NH4NO3 and KNO3 in media culture Invitro in histological/ cellular variations of the microtubers. The concentrations of 0, 1/2, 1, 3/2 and 2 times more than standard concentrations of the above mentioned compounds in MS medium were used in separate induction media. The results showed that the alternating light and darkness is more suitable for the variety Agria and the samples kept in absolute darkness demonstrated no microtuberization in this study. Sections for light microscopy were prepared from microtubers in each sample after their dimensions were measured and morphological studies carried out. The aim was to study the histological aspects of samples. The number of cell rows, the dimensions of the cells and the starch content of the parenchymal tissues of microtuber's pulp and the cortex were analyzed. The results again showed significant variations in histological features of the microtubers developed in media containing different concentrations of macronutrients. In this study, KNO3 with concentrations of 1.5 times more than standard concentration in MS medium yielded maximum number of cell rows and maximum starch granules content which were proportional to the average dimensions of microtubers. NH4NO3, with concentrations of 1/2 to 1 time more than standard concentrations in MS medium yielded a better differentiation of parenchymal tissues than other concentrations. Manuscript profile

        Ferula gummosa owned umbelliferus of medicinal plants, industrial and pasture is important. One of the major problems in the field of these domestication species is the presence of seed dormancy. Therefore, it seems absolutely necessary to evaluation of break seed dormancy in this plant. Aim of this study is dormancy breaking, germination and evaluating the best treatment for the elimination of Ferula gummosa seed dormancy. For this purpose, an experiment was carried out as factorial in based on completely randomized design with three replications in 1392, that it was conducted in the laboratory of Islamic Azad University of Mashhad. To perform the experiment, Ferula gummosa seed were collected from Binalud Highlands city of Nishabur in August 1391. The experiments included cold stratification at four levels (30, 45, 60 and 70 days) with treatment gibberellic acid at four levels (control, 250 ppm, 500 ppm and 1000 ppm) and also cold stratification at four levels (30, 45, 60 and 70 days) with treatment kno3 at four levels (control, 1%, 2% and 3%). The final assessment of germination, after 3 weeks of maintenance conducted on Germinator. The results of the first experiment showed that cold stratification and gibberellic acid had a significant positive effect on germination of Ferula gummosa and the maximum percentage (67.5 %) and rate of germination (2.45 seed/day) were obtained by treatment of 60 days stratification. The lowest percentage and rate of germination was gained by treatment of 30 days stratification. Application of 250 ppm gibberellic acid had the highest germination rate (1.94 seed/day) among different levels of gibberellic acid. The results of the second experiment illustrated that cold stratification and kno3 caused to improve germination properties and the highest level of kno3 caused to gain the highest percentage (51.66 %) and rate of germination (1.31 seed/day). No-application of kno3 had the lowest amount of these properties (percentage and rate germination were 31.66% and 0.68 seed/day, respectively).   Manuscript profile
