drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

to study the effect of humic acid and drought stress on some physiological characteristics of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa) an experiment was conducted in the research field of agricultural education centre of jiroft in 2013. field experiment was carried out as split plot design with three replications. water deficit stress as main factor with three levels (a1 = irrigation after 50, a2 = 100 an...

This investigation was carried out to determine the effects of gamma radiation on germination and physiological characteristics of wheat seedlings. Two wheat genotypes (Roshan and T-65-58-8) were irradiated with 100, 200, 300 and 400 Gy. The results showed that MGT (Mean Germination Time), root and shoot length, and seedling dry weight decreased with increasing radiation doses but final germina...

The effect of copperchloride (CuCl2) on the level of chlorophyll (a+b), proline, protein and abscisic acid in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings were investigated Control and copper treated (0.4, 0.5 and 0.6 mM) seedlings were grown for ten days in Hoagland solution. Abscisic acid content was determined in root, shoot and leaf tissues of seedlings by HPLC. Copper stress caused significa...

The drought tolerance of canola cultivars viz., Shirale, Oscar, Con-II, Rainbow and 19H was investigated after exposure to drought stress at various growth stages in a pot experiment. Water stress was imposed at flowering and pod filling growth stages. Data of various physiological (leaf chlorophyll a & b, proline and protein contents) and agronomic attributes (number of pods/plant, seeds/pods,...

studying the physiological responses of linseed genotypes to water deficit stress may be helpful in recognizing the linseed resistance mechanisms to the latter stress factors. therefore, a split plot rcbd field experiment was conducted with three replications to explain interrelations of leaf chlorophyll, proline and soluble carbohydrates content and grain yield of six linseed genotypes under t...

as regards citrus growing in sub-tropical and tropical regions that often expose drought, in order to investigation of some citrus seedlings response to drought this research was done in factorial experiment based on randomized completely design with three replication under glasshouse conditions. first factor were five citrus rootstocks and second factor included two treatment of irrigation (op...
