in order to study the effects of foliar application of zn and k on yield and some physiological traits of spring safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.), cv. esfahan 14, under drought stress, a pot experiment was conducted in research greenhouse of yasouj university. experiment was a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications. factors consisted of drought stress (s1- wi...

in this study the response of 9 rapeseed genotypes were evaluated at the seedling stage using different irrigation levels (50, 70 and 100% fc). a factorial experiment based on rcbd was conducted in the research greenhouses of urmia university with four replications during summer of 2013. some physiological traits such as relative water content, stomatal conductance, transpiration, photosynthesi...

wild jujube, ziziphus lotus, is a multipurpose xerophytic shrub of the rhamnaceae family widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of tunisia, where it occupies most soil types. the fruit is the edible part of the plant by local population. the reintroduction of this shrub requires the control of its multiplication in response to water shortage. this study aims to evaluate growth and wat...

Verticillium dahliae Kleb.is a soilborne pathogen that cause vascular wilt in chrysanthemumplant (Dendranthema grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitam). The objective of this research was to study the levels of some organic solutes, such as total protein, total soluble sugars, starch and proline, relative water content, RNA level, malondialdehyde and H2O2 contents in leaves of chrysanthemuminoculated with ...

drought tolerance of three own-rooted grape cultivars (rashe, ghezil uzum and red sultanina) was evaluated at four different levels of soil moisture contents (40, 60, 80 and 100% field capacity through a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for a duration of 3 months. results revealed that, grape cultivars, levels of soil moisture and the inte...

in this study, we assessed the relative contribution of organic and inorganic solutes to osmotic adjustment (oa) in three almond rootstocks subjected to four levels of soil salinity. the results showed that leaf water and osmotic potentials were affected by salinity in gf677 and bitter almond, but less so in gn15, suggesting a higher selectivity for k+ and ca2+ against na+ in this latter rootst...

this study was carried out to evaluate the changes in some important cell parameters under water limitation in sorghum genotypes. a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized completely design in greenhouse, in university of mohaghegh ardabili in 2014. treatments were water stress at levels of 85, 65, 45 and 25 percent field capacity in and three genotypes of forage sorghum (kfs2, k...

this study was conducted to determine water stress tolerance of two iranian dudaim melons (kerman & birjand) and one iranian muskmelon (samsoury). throughout the experiment, three different levels of irrigation with three irrigation starting points (-50, -65 and -75 cb of matric potential) were employed. results indicated that water stress significantly affected yield, firmness, fruit sugars as...

damage caused by freezing can be the result of differences in cellular processes, including changes in membrane properties, interactions between macromolecular and enzymatic reactions. in this experiment, total soluble solids (tss) and relative water content of the reproductive buds of cultivars “j. h. hale”, “elberta,” “redhaven, ” “sorkh sefid mashhad” and “amsden” peaches, along with nectari...
