In order to study the effect of physiological and biochemical responses of tomato cv. Rio Grande to foliar spray of Megafol under water deficit stress, an experiment was carried out in a split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates in Research Filed of university of Zanjan as during 2015. Treatments consisted arrangement of three irrigation levels (starting irrigat...

Nowadays, phenolic compounds and plant growth regulators such as salicylic acid has been prescribed to reduce the adverse effects of different stresses. This greenhouse experiment was conducted in 2013, as a factorial randomized complete block design with 3 replications, to examine the effects of lead and salicylic acid on basil (Ocimum basilicum) plant, cv. Keshkeni Luvelou. Factors included 4...

Petroleum hydrocarbons as organic contaminants are among the materials that pollute the soil. These compounds and the resutant stress to plants limit selection of suitable species to be planted in hydrocarbon contaminated sites. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of petroleum compounds on germination and morphophysiological characteristics of wheatgrass (Agropyron desertorum)...

Heavy metals are the most important pollutants in the environment. The productiion of toxic metals by human activities has lead to the contamination of soil. The presence of these metals in the soil and their accumulation in plants grown on these soils will have adverse effects on humans and animals. One approach to reduce the accumulation of heavy metals in plants is using of plant hormones. T...

This research was conducted to assess the effect of drought stress on grain yield and some physiological characteristics of 28 canola cultivars. Cultivars were evaluated at two moisture environments (normal and drought stress) according to randomized complete block design. Results of analysis of variance showed that there was significant difference among canola cultivars for all measured traits...

                                                                                  The synthesis of metal nanoparticles has attracted the attention of scientists in various fields, particularly in the chemical, physical, biological and medical sciences. Using extract of plant for nanoparticle synthesis can be advantageous over other biological processes because it eliminates the elaborate proc...

To determine the effects of salinity and boron excess in irrigation water on relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate on a leaf weight basis (NAR), and leaf weight ratio (LWR) of pistachio, three pistachio rootstocks (Badami -Zarand, Sarakhs and Ghazvini) were used. Rootstocks were grown in soil in eight-liter polyethylene pots. Sodium chloride treatments were 0, 75,150 and 225 mM NaCl...
