water salinity and drought are the major abiotic stresses limiting turf grass growth. on the other hand, shortage of waterresources and salinity of water and soil in the arid and semi-arid zones such as iran, are the restricting factors in developinglawn turf grasses. an experiment was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of water salinity and deficit irrigation ontall fescue (festuca aru...

The maize leaf is composed of a blade and a sheath, which are separated at the ligular region by a ligule and an auricle. Mutants homozygous for the recessive liguleless-1 (lg1) allele exhibit loss of normal ligule and auricle. The cellular events associated with development of these structures in both normal and liguleless plants are investigated with respect to the timing of cell division and...

to evaluate the response of wheat to drought stress and salicylic acid, this field experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of college of agriculture, university of shahid bahonar kerman, iran in 2011-2012, in a split-plot arrangement using completely randomized block design with four replications. main plot was irrigation (normal irrigation and cut off at flowering) and sub plot was...

abstract the objective of this study was to assess the effects of few arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the growth and yield indices of two wheat varieties in a saline soil (ec=10/1 dsm-1). a factorial experiment with completely randomized design with four replications was conducted to investigate the effects of three levels of fungal inoculation (non inoc...

plant growth is often limited by low levels of soil micronutrients such as copper (cu), ‎especially in calcareous salt-affected soils of arid and semiarid regions. the aim of this ‎work was to investigate individual and combined effects of salinity and cu on growth, leaf ‎relative water content (lrwc), cell membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation, and total ‎phenolic content (tpc) of rosemary...

Different plant species have different levels and locations of silicon accumulation in their tissues, and may or may not have silica bodies. Grasses usually accumulate these bodies, which may have different shapes depending on the genotype. Besides, this element can be beneficial to crops. The present study aimed to examine the forms and locations of silicon accumulation, as well as silicon con...
