BACKGROUND Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is one of the most common psychiatric disorders in children. OBJECTIVES The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of stress management program using cognitive behavior approach on mental health of the mothers of the children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this interventional study, 90 mothers of ...

In Ardabil region potato crop needs several irrigation, however ground water supplies arebeing exhausted due to reduced precipitation and intensive irrigation. In this research droughttolerance of 10 commercial potato cultivars was studied at three irrigation treatments (100%,80% and 60% of required irrigation water) in Ardabil in a two years field study, 2013-2014.At harvest, marketable tuber ...

effects of seed priming by salicylic acid on some morpho-physiologic characteristics and yield of cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.) cultivar “parastou” was investigated under water deficit. experiment was conducted as a split block design with 3 replications in 2008-2009 at research farm of zanjan university. factors were including drought stress as a main factor in 2 levels (irrigation, water defi...

to investigate the effect of deficit irrigation and macro and micro fertilizers on morpho-physiological characteristics of satureja a field experiment was conducted in agricultural research station of haji-abad (hormozghan province-iran) a split plot randomized complete block design with three replications during the growing season of 2012-2014. irrigation treatments consisted of normal, modera...

according to the drought as the most important environmental factor that limiting agricultural products and using nitrogen as the most consumed nutrition element in farming system, in this study investigates examined the effect of nitrogen on drought tolerance characteristics, including changes in total chlorophyll content, total protein content, leaf area, phosphorus and peroxidase enzyme acti...

Increased synthesis of galactinol and raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) has been reported in vegetative tissues in response to a range of abiotic stresses. In this work, we evaluated the transcriptional profile of a Coffea canephora galactinol synthase gene (CcGolS1) in two clones that differed in tolerance to water deficit in order to assess the contribution of this gene to drought tole...

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...

drought is an important abiotic stress limiting plant performance. generation of reactive oxygen species (ros) is enhanced under stresses. two greenhouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of phytohormones on the changes of antioxidant enzymes and carotenoids in petals of pot marigold (calendula officinalis l.) under drought stress. results showed that the activities of superoxid...

A DNA cassette containing an Arabidopsis C repeat/dehydration-responsive element binding factor 1 (CBF1) cDNA and a nos terminator, driven by a cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, was transformed into the tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) genome. These transgenic tomato plants were more resistant to water deficit stress than the wild-type plants. The transgenic plants exhibited growth retarda...

The effects of water deficit on plant growth, physiology and dry matter accumulation in the eggplant (Solanum melongena L. cv., Teorem F1) grown in pot were studied under out door conditions. Water stress was imposed by irrigating the plants with 80%, 60% and 40% of water needed to reach pot capacity (PC) in the soil. Control plants were irrigated 100% of PC. Water deficits increased leaf tempe...
