To study the effects of potassium (K) and drought stress on growth indices and mineral content of safflower leaf, a factorial experiment with 12 treatments and three replications was performed, using a completely randomized design, in the greenhouse of Soil Science Department, Zanjan University, Iran. The experimental treatments were a combination of four levels of K (80,130,180 and 230 mg/kg) ...

Drought is one of the major environmental stresses that adversely affect crop growth and productivity worldwide. For evaluation of drought stress on grain yield, yield components and drought tolerance indices, 20 genotype of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) was studied in an experiment based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in two different conditions (stress and non-s...

Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses in crops that can reduce yield and yield components in terms of time, duration and severity of the stress. Current research was carried out in order to evaluate drought stress tolerance in rice genotypes. Experiment done in two separate schemes using randomized complete blocks design with three replications in Research Field, Faculty ...

In order to study the effect of seaweed extract and nano-ZnO on germination characteristics of tomato seed, a factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design. Preliminary germination and seedling growth tests were performed to determine the best concentration of seaweed extract and nano-ZnO. Experimental treatments included three levels of drought stress (0, 2- an...

Breeding for environmental stress is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. Among stresses, drought stress has high influencing on limitation of maize production. Therefore, in order to find the best drought tolerant hybrids, 38 maize hybrids were planted in two separate experiments: one with optimum irrigation (control) and another with water stress at grain-filling stage in Moghan...
