to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...

low seed germination and seedling emergence is one of the main problems in saline areas. seed priming technique has been known as a challenge to improve germination and seedling emergence under different environmental stress. the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of seed priming with gibberellin, nacl and water on seed germination and seed reserve utilization and germination...

introduction rhodium metal is known for its stability in corrosive environments, physical beauty, and its unique properties. rhodium is now widely used for alloying platinum in thermocouples, crucibles, evaporating dishes, weighing boats windings for high-temperature furnaces. it has been applied as a coating material because of the hardness and luster of its surface. rhodium is present at abou...

introduction precipitation is one of the most important meteorological variables in comparison with other climatic parameters. it varies extremely over time and space. the occurrence of this climate phenomenon requires specific circumstances in environment. its accurate measurement is important to a wide range of decision makers including hydrologists, agriculturalists, industrialists and etc. ...

sensivity of seed germination stage to saline soil is the main obstacle to proper field establishment of sugar beet crop. in previous studies different tissues of sugar beet showed high tolerance to salt stress by of increasing sodium chloride levels in in vitro condition. an experiment was by to study the response of sugar beet zygotic embryos to salt stress in in vitro conditions. sterile per...

plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) is an alternative to chemical pesticides against harmful microorganisms especially soil-borne diseases. rhizoctonia solani is one of the most important soil-borne fungal pathogens that causes serious damages to important crops. in this study, to screen successful pseudomonas bacterial isolates, the inhibition of pathogen growth was evaluated in-vitro....

small precipitation with temporal and spatial variation of rainfall is the main responsible factors on flood occurrence in arid and semi arid regions. floods in their regions usually contain high concentration of sediments which when they are deposited on the surface of lands, they change the properties of soils of the area. in this research, the effect of floodwater spreading on physic-chemica...

nowadays soil contamination with heavy metals is considered as one of the most serious environmental concerns. among the heavy metals, lead due to inverse impacts on human health and substantial environmental problems causes major concern.this study was carried out with the aim of assessing the ability of different corn cultivars in a greenhouse condition for the accumulation of lead metal. tre...

to evaluate the effects of accelerated aging and cold stress on seed germination and seedling growth indices in five oilseed rape cultivars (hyola330, hyola401, hyola420, syn3 and pr401/15e), an experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design of three replications. results indicated that the cultivars were significantly different in germination percentage, seed vigour, germination ...
