The effect of 24-epibrasinolide (24-EBL)on physiological and biochemical pathways of lettuce (Lactuca Sativa L.) under drought stress conditions

Zeinab Chaghakaboodi; Seyed Hasan Mousavi; Mahdi Kakaei

Volume 14, Issue 1 , October 2024, Pages 15-28

https://doi.org/10.30473/cb.2024.70956.1964

Abstract
  Brassinosteroids are steroid hormones that are essential for the growth and development of plants and play a significant role in plant responses to stress. This study delves into examining how 24-epibrassinolide influences seedling indices, physiological and biochemical traits in specific lettuce genotypes ...  Read More

The growth promoting effect of native cyanobacterial strains on rice germination, as well as a In silico analysis of ammonium transporter (OsAMT) gene family

Aliakbar Babajanpour bora; Gholamali Ranjbar; Seyyed Hamidreza Hashemi-petroudi; Ghorbanali Nematzadeh; Hamid Najafi Zarini

Volume 14, Issue 1 , October 2024, Pages 45-65

https://doi.org/10.30473/cb.2024.70775.1961

Abstract
  Cyanobacteria improve soil fertility and organic product productivity by synthesizing growth-promoting substances, phosphate solubilization, and biological nitrogen fixation. We investigated the effect of eight various cyanobacterial strains on the germination-stage development of three different rice ...  Read More

Gene and regulatory network modeling of transcriptomic patterns in defense priming of rapeseed against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum infection

Hengameh Taheri; Mohamad Hamed Ghodoum Parizi pour

Volume 14, Issue 1 , October 2024, Pages 67-86

https://doi.org/10.30473/cb.2024.71791.1973

Abstract
  Sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), caused by the soil-borne fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, adversely impacts seed quality in rapeseed (Brassica napus) causing a 10-20% reduction in crop yield. The biological control agent Pseudomonas chlororaphis PA23 can protect rapeseed from the deleterious effects of the ...  Read More
