Plants of Boea hygroscopica F. Muell were dehydrated to 9% relative water content (RWC) by withholding water for 26 d, and afterward the plants were rehydrated. Leaves were taken from control plants after 7, 12, and 26 d from the beginning of dehydration, and after 6 and 48 h from rehydration. The RWC decreased by 80% during dehydration, but the leaves regained RWC with rehydration. Dehydrated ...

using plant growth regulators at the stresses environment can improve plant growth and crop production. hence, in this research response of photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll, soluble sugar and flower dry weight of chamomile to methyl jasmonate under different salinity levels was studied. values of 0 (control), 75, 150, 225 and 300μm methyl jasmonate (meja) with salinity levels of 2, 6, 10 and 14...

abstract drought is the most important factor limiting crop yield word wide. osmotic adjustment (oa) and strong and deep root system result in increased cereal drought tolerance through increasing water uptake and water use efficiency. the impact of root structure and physiological traits on drought stress response was studied in three barley cultivars including yousof (drought tolerant), moroc...

in order to study dry matter accumulation in different developmental stages and photoassimilates remobilization in bread wheat genotypes, a field experiment was carried out using a split split plot design based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in torogh agricultural and natural resources research station (mashhad, iran) in 2006-2007 and 2007-2008. main plots were as...

Improving irrigation water management is becoming important to produce a profitable crop in South Texas as the water supplies shrink. This study was conducted to investigate grain yield responses of corn (Zea mays) under irrigation management based on crop evapotranspiration (ETC) as well as a possibility to monitor plant water deficiencies using some of physiological and environmental factors....

we investigated the response of sea buckthorn to drought in a nursery experiment that has been studied for the first time in the world for iranian sea buckthorn. biomass and physiological differences in response to drought were compared between four elaeagnus rhamnoides seedlings inhabited in qazvin province origin seeds of iran. the experimental design included four water regimes including 2, ...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of caffeine and trans-cinnamaldehyde (tc) on growth performance, hematological parameters, stress hormones, immune response, and some blood parameters of broiler chickens. three hundred fifty 1-d-old broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 7 dietary treatments (five pens/ treatment of 10 male broilers each) in a completely randomized design...

To investigate effects of putrescine (Put) and humic acid (HA) on fruit yield and physiological attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. 'Kano') under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plants were exposed to three different irrigation regimes (33%, 66% and 100% ETc) and were treated with...
