abstract application of salicylic acid (sa) as a phytohormone has been increased due to its role in plant tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought. the main goal of this experiment was to evaluate the effects of sa on morphological and physiological characteristics of cucumber seedlings under drought stress. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized block design was condu...

this paper presents a case study to determine the efficiency of the currently used heat stress indices in correlation with wet bulb globe temperature (wbgt) as a permissible index at a foundry plant and to evaluate the extent of the physiological responses such as heart rate and body temperature in correlation with heat stress indices. the field consisted of a foundry plant where a shift work w...

the effect of different fertilizing systems and drought stress during grain development on grain minerals of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) was studied in field experiments on a clay-loamy soil during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. the treatments consisted of three irrigation regimes (main plots) of: non-stressed (ns, normal irrigation continued until the end of plant physiological maturity), ...

trifolium spp. are native plants in iran exhibiting good ground cover po-tential. salinity is a major environmental stress and today, 20% of the world cultivated areas and nearly half of all irrigated lands are affected by salinity. the main aim of this research was to study morphological and physiological adaptations of these native species under different salinity levels for urban landscape u...

Physiological resonance between individuals is considered fundamental to the biological capacity for empathy. Observers of pain and distress commonly exhibit increases in reported distress, autonomic arousal, facial mimicry, and overlapping neural activity. An important, unstudied question is whether physiological stress can also resonate. Physiological stress is operationalized as activation o...

in order to study the effect of salt stress at different growth stages on physiological characteristics and enzyme superoxide dismutas (sod) activity in wheat genotypes a green house experiment was conducted at the agricultural research greenhouse, agricultural, medical and industrial research school, nuclear science and technology research institute of karaj. a split factorial design on the ba...

in order to investigate effective morpho-physiological traits related to salinity resistance, and their relationship with grain yield as well as study of salinity tolerance and susceptibility indices in 169 barley recombinant inbred lines, a  population of barley derived from a cross between arigashar and igri, this experiments were carried out using alpha lattice design with two replications d...

Heat stress is one of the major limiting factors of production efficiency in the swine industry. The aims of the present study were 1) to observe if hemorheological and hematological parameters could be associated to physiological acclimation during the first days of heat stress exposure and 2) to determine if water restriction could modulate the effect of thermal heat stress on physiological, ...
