Impact of exogenous salicylic acid on growth and ornamental characteristics of calendula (Calendula officinalis L.) under salinity stress

Application of salicylic acid (SA) as a phytohormone has been increased due to resistance to stresses such as salt stress. Pot experiments were conducted to determine the effect of exogenous salicylic acid application on...

Mathematical modeling of heat transfer between the plant seedling and the environment during a radiation frost

The power of the internal heat source sufficient to maintain a positive temperature of plants during one of the possible form of cold stress - radiation frost was determined with the help of numerical simulation. The si...

 Effect of Cold Temperature and Food Restriction on Energy Metabolism and Thermogenesis in Eothenomys miletus

The aim of the present study was to examine the energy strategy in response to the cold temperature and food shortage. The survival rate, body mass, body fat content, serum leptin levels, basal metabolic rate (BMR) and n...
