the responses of yield and yield components of 24 advanced bread wheat genotypes to pre- and post-anthesis drought stress conditions were studied at ardabil agricultural re-search station during the 1997-2000 cropping seasons. results showed that genotypes produced significantly lower spikes no./m2, seeds no./spike and grain yield under pre- than in post-anthesis drought stress conditions. howe...

background & aim: osmotic stress in plants lead to increase free radicals and plants use different mechanisms to scavenge these radicals. so, researchers apply stresses especially drought stress to increase secondary metabolites such as phenolics, and antioxidants. one of the valuable medicinal plants is yarrow (achillea tenuifolia) which is a perennial plant with different medicinal applic...

management of organic and inorganic fertilizer application and residual of them are very important in their effect on environment and plant yield. in order to determine the effect of drought stress and different amendments on flower, essential oil and chamazulene yield and its components of matricaria chamomilla l., this study was conducted as a split plot design with three replications, at agr...

the effects of some histaminergic agents were evaluated on stress- induced immunosuppression in immunized nale rats. in rat immunized with sheep red blood cells ( srbcs). restraint stress (rs) prevented the booster-induced rise in anti-srbc antibody titre and cell immunity response. intracerebroventicular (i.c>v) injection of histamine (150 µg/rat) induced a similar effect with rs. pretreatment...

one of the effects of reducing water content on soil is reduction of growth and development of seedlings and variation of field development of them. it was found that seed priming improves some characteristics of seedling and plant. an experiment was conducted for evaluating the effect of seed priming by salicylic acid on some characteristics of barley seed at early growth stages, antioxidant e...
