The drought tolerance of canola cultivars viz., Shirale, Oscar, Con-II, Rainbow and 19H was investigated after exposure to drought stress at various growth stages in a pot experiment. Water stress was imposed at flowering and pod filling growth stages. Data of various physiological (leaf chlorophyll a & b, proline and protein contents) and agronomic attributes (number of pods/plant, seeds/pods,...

abstract in order to determine the time of maximum demand of winter wheat (triticum aestivum l.) to phosphorous fertilizers and p and zinc (zn) distribution in different parts of wheat at various growth stages and study their relation to the contents of these elements in soil p and zn under field conditions, samples were collected from different parts of the plants at seven growth stages (i.e.,...

The content of metal elements in plant tissues of 10-day wheat seedlings after seed pre-treatment and foliar treatment with non-ionic colloidal solution of metal nanoparticles (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) was determined by an atomic absorption spectrometer. It was shown that metal nanoparticles due to their physical properties (nanoscale and uncharged state) were capable of penetrating rapidly into plant c...

salinity is one of the most restrictions in plant growth in dry and semi dry land which effects production of many crops such as sesame. in order to study the phenology and morphology characteristics of 43 ecotypes and line of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) under salinity of irrigation water (5.2 ds.m-1) a field experiment was conducted at research farm of center of excellence for special crops, f...

salinity is among important soil stresses adversely affecting the process of nitrogen (n) fixation in leguminous plants in different parts of the world. it has been indicated that salinity can inhibit the early stages of nodulation process between bacterium and the host plant including the exchange of signal molecules (nod gene inducers). there has not been any research regarding the effects of...

Water potential is amongst the most useful parameters for the measurement of the degree of water stress in plants. With the objective of mitigating adverse effects of moisture stress on water potential, osmotic potential and pressure potential of wheat variety Inquilab-91, a greenhouse experiment was conducted using two moisture levels viz., normal moisture supply and moisture stress at crown r...
