Drought is the cause of adverse environmental impacts on plant growth and crop yield. In this study, the effects of water deficit on plant molecular and physiological responses were investigated using two cultivars (namely, Sardari and Zarin) of bread wheat selected based on the results of a three-year research. For the purposes of this study, they were grown in plastic pots containing field so...

Water stress is one of the most critical abiotic stresses that restricts growth, development, and alters physiological and biochemical mechanisms of plant. The effects of long-term water shortage-induced oxidative stress on morphophysiological parameters, proline metabolic genes, and artemisinin content were studied in Artemisia annua L. under greenhouse conditions. Plant growth, biomass accumu...

Anthropogenic activities have caused important increases in soil Cu levels not only in urban areas but also in croplands. This study was designed to find out the effect of different concentration of copper on physiological and biochemical changes in Eucalyptus camaldulensis seedlings. Seeds of Eucalyptus camaldulensis were grown in marble chips and irrigated with nutrient solution mixed with co...

stress management is considered as an important factor in nowadays landscape. therefore this research was conducted using a factorial experiment based on a randomized completely design with regulated deficit irrigation at four levels (100, 75, 50, and 25% of lawn irrigation requirement) and three replicates to evaluate some biochemical and physiological traits on four groundcover plants (lolium...

In order to survey effect of salinity and cadmium on catalase and peroxidase enzymes activity , proline accumulation, Malondialdehyde and protein content variation in  Brassica oleracea an experiment was conducted in green house condition factorial design based on completely random block in 2014 year. The first factor was cadmium at four levels (0, 50, 100 and 200 ppm) and second factor was sal...
