introduction lentil (lens culinaris medik.) is a good source of protein, carbohydrates as well as minerals, vitamins and unsaturated fatty acids as such it plays an important role in the human diet and cultivated worldwide. water shortage is one of the most important abiotic factors that can limit morphological, physiological, yield, and plant distribution. legumes such as lentil are highly sen...

background : necessity of evaluating heat stress in the workplace, require validation of indices and selection optimal index. the present study aimed to assess the precision and validity of some heat stress indices and select the optimum index for using in heavy work activities in hot and dry climates. methods: it carried out on 184 workers from 40 brick kilns workshops in the city of qom, cent...

to clarify the underlying physiological mechanism of gibberellic acid (ga) in cold tolerance, the effects of exogenous ga3 on malondialdehyde (mda), osmoregulation substances and endogenous hormones levels in the tiller nodes of two wheat cultivars, namely, dongnongdongmai 1 (a cold insensitive cultivar) and jimai 22 (a cold sensitive cultivar), were investigated at three periods of cold winter...

drought is one of the most important factors limiting growth and yield in many parts of the world. in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress on some morphological and physiological traits of two cultivars of bean, two red beans (derakhshan and goli) in four drought treatments including 25%, 50%, 75%, control 100% field capacity were studied in a factorial experiment based on complete r...

Human stress is a physiological tension that appears when a person responds to mental, emotional, or physical chal-lenges. Detecting human stress and developing methods to manage it, has become an important issue nowadays. Au-tomatic stress detection through physiological signals may be a useful method for solving this problem. In most of the earlier studies, long-term time window was considere...

Sustainability of rice production under limited water conditions is threatened by increasing irrigation water scarcity. Therefore, physiological and morphological responses of rice to varying water stress management strategies should be determined. The physiological and morphological responses of a semi dwarf rice (Hashemi cultivar) to water stress intensities (mild and severe, i.e., short-dura...

in order to have a successful breeding program, it is important to determine the relationship among the traits. this study was conducted at research farm of isfahan university of technology to evaluate relationships among some of the agronomic and physiological traits and grain yield of ten bread wheat cultivars in optimum and stress moisture (irrigation after 70±3 and 130±3 mm evaporation from...
