Salinity causes the adverse effects in all physiological processes of plants. The present study aimed to investigate the potential of salt stress to enhance the accumulation of the anticancer phytochemicals in Andrographis paniculata accessions. For this purpose, 70-day-old plants were grown in different salinity levels (0.18, 4, 8, 12, and 16 dSm(-1)) on sand medium. After inducing a period of...

Amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor), an underutilized climate smart crop, is highly nutritious and possesses diverse drought tolerance traits, making it ideal crop to thrive in a rapidly changing climate. Despite considerable studies on the growth physiology of plants subjected stress, precise trait phenotyping strategy for vegetable amaranth still not well documented. In this study, two screening t...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of seed priming with ascorbic acid (AsA) on germination and seedling characteristics rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) under different salinity levels. To this end, examined five levels (0.20, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 20.0 dS m-1 NaCl) four doses (control, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 mM acid). Salt stress negatively affected some plant growth traits, such as radicle lengt...

in order to study the effects of post – anthesis heat stress on source of six wheat genotypes (vee/nac, chamran, s79-10, dez, fong and kaveer), two separate field experiments were conducted as delayed as against optimum sowing dates in ahvaz coditions. plants in delayed sowing date experienced heat stress at post-anthesis growth stage. as study of grain yield indicated that the highest and the ...

Drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses that have limited the production of wheat, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. To recognize drought tolerant rain-fed wheat genotypes and to determine the best tolerance/susceptibility indices, a study was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Miandoab for two cropping years (2013-15). The experime...

Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) is a legume crop, and gum derived from its seeds has various industrial applications. Due to tolerance abiotic stresses, guar can be grown under water-deficit or high-salinity conditions. In this investigation, four diverse genotypes that performed at similar level in field conditions were evaluated salinity experiment the greenhouse lysimeter system. B...
