The research was conducted to study the resistance of Nerium plant which are planting on
sides of roads and the cities portals. The research was performed by studying the leaves of
Nerium plant, through studying the length and weigh of the leaf, an
d its area and water
content. In addition to studying the wools and hiatus and chlorophyll concentration, and
compared the results between the polluted region which is the entry of Banias City, and the
control one which is the gardens of Tishreen University.
Results showed non significant reduction in length, weight and area of the leaf in the
polluted region compared with the control one. It attained (16.2 cm, 0.97 g and 26.3 cm2),
respectively in the polluted region. Where it was (17.8 cm, 1.25 g and 27.7 cm2), for
control region, respectively. Also, there was no significant differences in water content
between the two studied regions. It attained respectively (52.2 and 53.9 %).
Our results showed:
- That a number of hiatus decreased, whereas the wools increased in the polluted region
compared with control region insignificantly. The mean of a number of it was 12 in
polluted region, compared with 14 in the control region.
- A simple insignificant reduction in the concentration of chlorophyll A in polluted region
compared with the control, where it attained (0.93 and 0.98), respectively.
The Nerium oleander plant was resistance and tolerance to the air pollution.
The study was conducted during 2017 in the laboratories of the department of Botany
at Tishreen University, Lattakia, Syria. The effect of ultraviolet radiation (UV-C and UVB)
for different periods (0.5, 1, 3, 5, 15, 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes) on the
photosynthetic
pigments of Euglena gracilis (with three stages of measurements) was studied. The results
showed that chlorophyll pigments were more sensitive to UV-C compared to UV-B. These
reductions were correlated with the increase in the exposure time, reaching the lowest
value after 60 minutes exposure (97.83, 98.73, 99.18% for chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and
carotenoids when measured after 24 hours respectively).
The polyethylene films protect the chlorophyll pigments against UV radiation.
The protection rate was more evident against UV-C reaching .7.7% after 24 hours in the
algae exposed for 30 minutes according to the experimental conditions.
Half quarterly water samples were collected during the period between March 2015
and February 2016 of four different stations from Banias city water that is subject to the
effect of sewage and estuaries. The concentrations of nutrients (H3SiO4
-,
PO4
-3, NO3
-, NO2
-
, NH4
+ ) and the concentrations of chlorophyll a were determined to find out how affected
by the temporal and spatial variability. The highest concentrations of phosphate and
ammonia ions were observed at station St3 (close to the sewage), while the highest
concentrations of nitrate ions were registered at the stations St1 and St2 (estuaries). The
results showed high values of chlorophyll a in April (due to spring bloom of
phytoplankton) and October (autumn bloom). The ions ratio ΣN/P revealed that
phosphorus ions are limiting factor of the phytoplankton growth at St1 and St2, and that
nitrogen ions are limiting factor of growth at the stations St3 and St4. The ratio Si/ΣN
revealed that silicate ions are limiting factor of the growth of diatoms in all the stations.
We discussed the importance of studying the trichomes award in
olive trees, leaves and its role in the resistance to these trees against
pollution resulting from the Banias refinery intake, through the
study of their density and distribution on a
superficial paper and
examine the concentration of chlorophyll in the leaves, and
comparing the results between the contaminated areas and the
control area .
Results showed that the density of the trichomes play a role in
protecting the ports of entry into force of pollutants into the plant
tissue, and its impact on the pigments of photosynthesis, and thus
the process of photosynthesis.
The lack of information about the cultivation of coriander plant in Syria prompted us
to study the effect of four plant densities (33.33،10، 13.33 and 20 plant/m2)، and four levels
of phosphate fertilization (0107.2،160.8، and 214.4 of Superphospha
te 46%) on some
productive and quality traits of the coriander plant. This study was carried out in Tartous
province during the growing season 2014، using Randomized Complete Block design with
a Split Plot arrangement of treatments. The Results revealed that there were significant
differences between the treatments for the whole traits، in addition to a significant
interaction between density and phosphate fertilization. Although the densities (10، 13.33
and 20 plant/m2) varied in their effect، they had superiority upon the
control(33،33)plant/m2، and the density 10 plant/m2 had more important effect in terms of
increasing each of: branches number/plant، seed weight/plant، seeds number/inflorescence،
protein content in plants and seeds and beta carotene and chlorophyll. However، the level
160.8k.g/h of P2O5 increased the number of inflorescences/plant، number of fruits/plant
and seed weight/ inflorescence.
general study of counted Bacteria and Chlorophyll a Give us an initial picture to the environment safety and vitality of marine environmental, which constitutes one of the basic components. In this paper, we show the most important results related to
horizontal and vertical changes of temperature and counted Bacteria, the concentrations of dyes Chlorophyll a,phaeophytine and relationships between them to depth of 300 m. The study showed a high degree in deep-water temperature reached to about two degrees in recent decades. as well as significant decrease in counted Bacteria (800 - 12750CFU / 100 ml) and dyes Chlorophyll a (under detection threshold - 0.24 mg / l) and phaeophytine (under the detection threshold - 0.064 mg / l), which refers to the weakness in the wild tributaries and low nutrients that reaches to the beaches and marine wealth , which reflect the negative impacts on marine environment.
In this study, the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride
(NaCl) (0, 50, 100, 150 mM) on some physiological characteristics and some
growth indicators of SO4 grape rootstock propagated in vitro was studied at the
laboratories of Gen
eral Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research
(GCSAR), Damascus/Syria. Results indicated that the increase of NaCl
concentration up to 100 mM in culture medium led to reduce the growth
indicators (survival plants, average of the plant length and average number of
buds) with significant differences when compared with the control plants after
4 weeks from culturing on multiplication media, while treatment with 150 mM
of sodium chloride led to death of all plants. Using the concentrations 50 and
100 mM of NaCl also caused decreasing the total chlorophyll content in the
leaves.
The research aimed to compare the phenological, morphological and
biochemical characterestics of plain and curly-leafed parsley hybrids. The
hybrids were similar in germination percentage and leave number as well as in
the content of NO3. Signific
ant differences were observed in leaf area of plain
and curly-leafed hybrid (21.23 vs. 10.87 cm2), stem length (11.68 vs. 5.42 cm),
fresh (56.8 vs. 31.95 g) and dry weight (4 and 1.92 g, respectively). Comparing
to plain-leafed, the curly-leafed hybrid had a twice thicker stem, higher
chlorophyll, carotene and vitamin C contents (37,45, and 14.61%, respectively).
This study was conducted at the laboratories of Horticultural Department, Faculty
of Agriculture, Damascus University to determine the effect of using three levels of
sucrose (10, 30, 50 g /l) on chlorophyll content between healthy and vitrified pl
ants of
three varieties of Gypsophylla panicolata (Golantwo, Planshnet, Newlove). Results
showed superiority of treatment 10 g / l sucrose in reducing vitrification percent to
36.78% compared with 62.57% for control (30 g/l) and with significant differences
between varieties. Planshnet was the best variety in chlorophyll content either in healthy
or in vitrified plantlets. Moreover, the treatment with sucrose of 10 g/l caused significant
increment of chlorophyll content compared with other treatments. The high total
chlorophyll content was 17.46 micrograms/ ml in healthy plants compared with 14.26
micrograms / ml in vitrification plants for Planshnet at 10 g/l sucrose.
This research aims at studying the effect of irrigation with different levels of NaCl on
the growth and development of Syrian pears (Pyrus syriaca). The results showed that:
1. Salt stress reduced chlorophyll content (a,b and a+b) in salt treatment
s compared to
the control , which contained 67.48 mg/g (a), 111.62 mg/g (b) and 204.76 mg/g (a+b),
while 1750 ppm of NaCl treatment contained 49.34 mg/g (a), 49.86 mg/g (b) and 158.77
mg/g (a+b) respectively. Treatment with 500 ppm of NaCl increased significantly
chlorophyll content compared to other salt treatments.
2. Leaves content of proline increased with increasing NaCl levels. It reached 870.8
ng/g when irrigation water contained 1250 ppm of NaCl, while it decreased in other salt
treatments. Leaves dry matter increased with the increase salt levels (24.50% for the
control, and 44.86% for 1750 ppm of NaCl).
