In order to assess the effect of drought stress and various levels of potassium on solutes accumulation and chlorophyll of canola and Indian mustard, a field experiment was conducted in a factorial design based on randomized complete block design with three replications including three irrigation regimes (I1=irrigation after 50% depletion of soil water(control),I2 =irrigation after 70% water de...

Nickel (Ni) is an element which has been added recently to the list of necessary micronutrients for plants. But, as a heavy metal, especially at high concentrations, it causes oxidative stress in plants. Knowledge of physiological and biochemical responses of plants to Ni stress can help to understand the mechanisms of adaptability. The effects of Ni on chlorophyll content, proline, soluble pro...

Soybean (Glycine max) is sensitive to drought stress, and increasing its yield, requires the selection of tolerate varieties which are adapted to semiarid or low water climates of Iran. In this research, the experiment was performed based on a factorial completely randomized design with three replications at 2013. Experimental factors were consisted of 8 genotypes of soybeans and 6 levels of dr...

Biochemical and physiological traits are affected by environmental stresses and therefore the breeding of these traits will play an effective role in stress tolerance. In this study, hybrids of five S7 lines of maize in a 5 × 5 half-diallel design were investigated in order to study the combining ability of biochemical and physiological traits of maize at the Research Farm of Graduate Universit...

Plants are faced with various environmental stresses during their growing period. Each of these stresses have different effects on growth, metabolism and yield according to the sensitivity level and stage of the plant growth. One way of reducing the negative effects of the stresses is to use humic substances. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effects of humic acid and drought st...
