root depth and distribution have an important role in drought resistance and optimization of moisture content of soil. this research was carried out in order to consider of root response of triticale genotypes to water stress and recognition of root trait that can effective in resistance of water stress. this experiment was in a factorial experiment based on completely random design on the year...

in order to decrease water consumption in agricultural sector, deficit irrigation has been suggested. for preventing a heavy loss in crop yield, management of water stress is essential. common methods for measuring plant water stress such as stomatal conductance are time-consuming and require specialized labor and a large number of measurement. temperature of leaf or canopy surface can be an in...

objective(s): due to the prevalence and pervasiveness of stress in modern life and exposure to both chronic and acute stresses, it is not clear whether prior exposure to chronic stress can influence the impairing effects of acute stress on memory retrieval. this issue was tested in this study. materials and methods: adult male wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: control,...

sericulture has played a very important role in the socio-economic empowerment of rural and semi-urban population. the eco-friendly nature of the industry, in addition to its employment generation potential, low investments and frequent returns, has rendered the industry as one of the most suitable land based economic activity, particularly in the context of global movement against environmenta...

background: since alkaloids are nitrogenous compounds, the availability of nitrogen (n) is expected to play an important role in the biosynthesis and accumulation of alkaloids in plants. objective: this study intended to investigate the nitrogen (n) fertilization and water deficit stress (wds) effects on seed tropane alkaloids elicitation including hyoscyamine (hyo) and scopolamine (sco), and a...

introduction: mental stress is one of the most important causes of the gastric ulcer. on the other hand, flavonoids such as quercetin show protective effects. the aim of this study was to investigate possible protective effect of quercetin on water restraint stress-induced ulcer in rats. methods: adult male wistar rats were divided into seven groups each containing eight animals. the first grou...

in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methanol and irrigation intervals on yield and yield components of chickpea cultivars a factorial experiment as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in spring 2008 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. the treatments were 10 and 20 irrigation interva...

in order to identify drought stress tolerance in rapeseed, nine commercial rapeseed cultivars (opera, karaj1, karaj2, karaj3, zarfam, okapi, talayeh, licord and modena) were evaluated under two conditions (normal and drought stress) in kangavar region in the west iran in 2014-2015 growing season. this research was carried out in a split plot experiment based on completely randomized design in f...

drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting the survival and growth of plants in the different habitats of iran. detailed knowledge about the ecophysiological responses of native plants to drought stress could contribute to the success of breeding and re-vegetation programs. six wild populations of anthemis tinctoria, were assigned to four drought treatments, i.e. well-watered ...

investigating the role of drought stress conditions on physiological characteristics of plant may provide means to understand basic drought resistance. differences in leaf emergence rate, leaf relative water content (rwc), membrane stability index (msi), leaf mass area (lma), net photosynthesis (anet), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (e), intercellular co2 concentration (ci), ...
