Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoybean Response to 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate Deaminase-Producing Pseudomonas under Field Soil ConditionsEdi Husen, Aris Tri Wahyudi, Antonius Suwanto, GiyantoProblem Statement: 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylate (ACC) deaminase-producing bacteria have been known to promote plant growth by decreasing ethylene inhibition of various plant processes. However, their efficacy under field soil conditions may vary depending on the range and variability of the environmental factors. This study examined the ability of eight promising isolates of ACC deaminase-producing Pseudomonas to enhance soybean growth under acidic and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 24 Jun 2011 · 8,250 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBasal Salt Requirements Differ According to Culture Stage and Cultivar in Date Palm Somatic EmbryogenesisJameel M. Al-KhayriProblem statement: Various media formulations differing in basal salt composition are arbitrary selected to provide essential nutrients for plant in vitro cultures. Evidence suggests that in vitro response to various media formulations varies among genotypes and depends on the culture stage. This study examined the efficacy of five basal salt formulations on callus growth and somatic embryogenesis in date palm … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 May 2011 · 10,156 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of MgCl2 on Germination, Growth and Biomass Allocation of the Radish CV. "Cherry Belle"William Brandenburg, Catherine KleierProblem statement: To determine the effect of MgCl2 on radish (Raphanus sativus), plants were grown in controlled environmental growth chambers and given one of three watering treatments; 0.01, 0.1 and 0 M (control) MgCl2. Approach: At high concentrations (0.1 M), MgCl2 was toxic resulting in very low (44%) germination rates and the subsequent death of all but three undersized plants … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 26 May 2011 · 8,232 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractScreening of Pseudomonas sp. Isolated from Rhizosphere of Soybean Plant as Plant Growth Promoter and Biocontrol AgentAris Tri Wahyudi, Rika Indri Astuti, GiyantoAbstract: Problem statement: Pseudomonas spesies are one of the rihizobacterial group that have an important role in plant growth promoter and plant health. To prepare them as inoculants, they must have a range of characters as growth promoter such as Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) producers which can promote the growth of plants and solubilize phosphates. In addition, they must also … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 10 Mar 2011 · 9,882 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugarcane Response to Water-Deficit Stress during Early Growth on Organic and Sand SoilsDuli Zhao, Barry Glaz, Jack C. ComstockProblem statement: Approximately 20% of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is grown on sand soils in south Florida, USA. Sugarcane yields in the region linearly increased in last 33 years on organic (muck) soils, but not on sand soils. Water deficit during the formative growth phase on sand soils probably limits sugarcane yields. Approach: A greenhouse study was conducted in 2009 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,260 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Drought Stress and Methanol on Yield and Yield Components of Soybean Max (L 17)Mojtaba Mirakhori, Farzad Paknejad, Foad Moradi et al.Problem statement: In order to evaluate drought stress and methanol on yield and yield components of soybean in field experiments with factorial experiment inform of a randomized complete block design with three replication in field faculty of agricultural of Islamic Azad University Karaj, at 2008. First factor were sprayed aqueous solutions 0 (control), 7, 14.21, 28 and 35% (v/v) methanol … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 7,881 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSalicylic Acid Protects Nitrate Reductase Activity, Growth and Proline in Amaranth and Tomato Plants during Water DeficitC. E. Umebese, T. O. Olatimilehin, T. A. OgunsusiProblem statement: Seedlings of Amaranthus hybridus cv. NHAC-3 (large green, amaranth) and Lycopersicum esculentum cv. Roma (tomato) were subjected to 7 days water stress at Early Vegetative (EV), Late Vegetative (LV), Early Flowering (EF) and Late Flowering (LF) stages of growth to study the impact on leaf water potential (ψw), Nitrate Reductase Activity (NRA), growth (plant height, shoot and root … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 9,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChanges in Flower Development, Chlorophyll Mutation and Alteration in Plant Morphology of Curcuma alismatifolia by Gamma IrradiationThohirah Lee Abdullah, Johari Endan, B. Mohd NazirProblem statement: Curcuma alismatifolia Gagnep., commonly known as 'Thai tulip' or pathumma is a member of the family Zingiberaceae. This herbaceous perennial which can be grown from rhizomes have a great potential for use as a cut flower, flowering potted plant and as a garden plant for tropical landscaping. Unlike other bulbous floral crops, research on C. alismatifolia using gamma … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,437 accessesView PDFCite
