Extended Abstract Introduction: Drought stress, as abiotic and multidimensional stress, has severe effects on plant growth. One of the new approaches in the management of drought stress is the use of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles infilterate the seeds and increase nutrient and water uptake and ultimately, improve germination. The present research was conducted to evaluate the effects of titaniu...

Priming is one of techniques to improve the physiological and biochemical efficiency that can enhance seed germination under stressful conditions such as salinity. Therefore, for seeds produced in the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014, three separate experiments were conducted based on completely randomized design with two factors of seed priming and salinity stress. first factor was priming treatme...

A laboratory experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of seed priming under salt and drought conditions on seed germination and early seedling development of millet. A factorial experiment (3×2×5) based on completely randomized design with three replications was employed. The first factor was the effect of seed priming (control, hydro priming and KNO3), the second factor was ...

Extended abstract Introduction: Using of plant growth regulators is one of the methods can improve plant growth against environmental stresses such as salinity. Salicylic acid plays an important role in physiological processes regulation, including germination. Today, using of growth promoting bacteria has been increased and it causes to raise the seed vigor, uniformity, germination percentage...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of salicylic acid and gibberellic acid on germination characteristics and changes of proline, protein and catalase activity of Brassica napus seedlings under Cu(SO4) stress. The experimental design was factorial with complete randomized design as a base design with 3 replications. The first factor was 4 levels of Cu(SO4) stress (0, 10, 2...

Salinity is one of the main osmotic stresses on growth and production of plants in arid limit. The use of salt endurance species in the restoration and development rangelands , particularly in arid is very important.Given the importance of annual medics in the restoration and development rangeland and the low awareness level of understanding of this species to salinity, This study aimed to eval...
