Barley cultivar Amulet was used to study the quantitative proteome changes through different drought conditions utilizing two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE). Plants were cultivated for 10 days under different drought conditions. To obtain control and differentially drought-treated plants, the soil water content was kept at 65, 35, and 30% of soil water capacity (SWC), resp...

in order to evaluate the effects of methanol on germination percentage, germination speed index, plumule and radicle length, plumule and radicle dry weigh, vigor index and consumed endosperm of bean in condition of water deficit, a factorial experiment done based on completely randomized design with three replications. the first factor was different levels of methanol included 0 (control), 5, 1...

The adsorption isotherms of nitrogen, oxygen and argon in four VA-class hydrophobic dipeptides are presented. Isotherms were determined at 5, 20 and 35 °C, for a pressure range of 0-6 bar. Under these conditions, adsorption is still in the Henry region. For all materials and temperatures, the sequence of preferential adsorption is Ar > O2 > N2, a highly abnormal result. At 5 °C, the dipeptide w...

in order to evaluate drought tolerance of chickpea genotypes and identifying the best indices of drought tolerance, the 20 genotypes desi chickpea plus two improved cultivars (kaka and piroz) were tested using a randomized complete block design under two irrigated (non stress) and (stress) conditions. quantitive drought tolerance and susceptibility indices such as stress tolerance index (sti), ...

Carum copticum L. is a medicinal plant of the Apiaceae family with medicinal properties. In this study, the effects of drought stress on the photosynthetic pigments and essential oils as well as the enzymatic and non-enzymatic mechanisms of the seedlings and callus of C. copticum were investigated within the framework of a controlled experiment under in vitro conditions. For this purpose, the s...

Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) is considered a promising source for improving stress resistances in domesticated wheat. Here we explored the potential of selected quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from wild emmer wheat, introgressed via marker-assisted selection, to enhance drought resistance in elite durum (T. turgidum ssp. durum) and bread (T. aestivum) wheat cultivars. Th...

seed germination is a crucial stage in the plant life cycle and salt tolerance during germination stage is vital for the establishment of plants in saline soils. in order to evaluation of sesame (sesamum indicum) landraces germination to salinity stress at different temperature, an experiment was conducted at ferdowsi university of mashhad, collage of agriculture during 2009. experimental type ...
