In this research, the response of shoot and root of two cultivars of soybean (Glycine max L. cvs Gorgan 3 & Williams) to mild and severe drought was evaluated in pot. Two weeks after of planting, three irrigation treatments including every day (as control), once in three (as mild stress) and five days (as severe stress) were used. The results showed that, stem dry weight, stem and root length, ...

abstract mango is one of the most important tropical fruits in iran and salinity is an important problem to mango production in ‘hormozgan’ province and other mango growing areas in iran. at present experiment the effects of saline irrigation water of different sodium chloride concentration on vegetative growth and ion content of mango was evaluated. treatments comprised two type of cultivars (...

The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of growth regulator NAA on in vitro shoot proliferation, rooting, and plantlet establishment. Among the different concentrations of NAA, the best increase in shoot weight (0.25 g) and shoot number (8.83) were observed from 0.1 mg/I NAA. The highest shoot length (2.60 cm), number of leaves (4.83), number of roots (5.15), and root length (...

Environmental stress, particularly drought stress can play an important role in reducing plant growth especially during the germination stage in arid and semi-arid regions in Iran. For cultivation of medicinal plants in arid and semi-arid areas, the assessment of their tolerance is very important. In this research, in order to evaluate the effects of salicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement o...

in this study the response of 9 rapeseed genotypes were evaluated at the seedling stage using different irrigation levels (50, 70 and 100% fc). a factorial experiment based on rcbd was conducted in the research greenhouses of urmia university with four replications during summer of 2013. some physiological traits such as relative water content, stomatal conductance, transpiration, photosynthesi...

in order to evaluate the effects of biofertilizer on soybean (glycine max l.) seed vigor that produced under water deficit condition and related traits, an experiment was conducted in a factorial layout based of complete randomized block design with four replications at the research greenhouse of aboureihan campus- tehran university, iran. experimental treatments were include biofertilizer (see...

despite the importance of drought stress in early stage of growth and plant establishment, it has usually been neglected as selection criteria in breeding programs. therefore, a population of recombinant inbred line derived from the cross “babax/seri m82” and their two parents were studied. the experiment was conducted in two randomized complete block designs with two replications under osmotic...

Araucaria excelsa L. of Araucariaceae family is a beautiful conifer which has a high economic importance in the flower industry. A factorial experiment based on randomized completely block design with two factors: 1. Irrigation intervals in 2, 4 and 6 days (I1, I2 and I3) and 2. The growth bed in pots 3 L included M1 (100 % v/v cocopeat), M2 (100%  municipal waste compost), M3 (100 % vermicompo...

The study was made in order to evaluate the response of fifteen wheat genotypes (grown in Pakistan) to sodium chloride salinity at seedling stage keeping two levels of salinity (150 and 200 mM NaCl) along with a control (no application of salt). The effect of varieties on shoot length of wheat was non significant. Maximum shoot length was recorded in MH-97 (15.55cm) while minimum shoot length w...
