Drought stress is the most important limiting factor in crop plants including maize (Zea mays L.), which is the third important world crop after wheat and rice. Water deficiency at different growth stages affects maize yield differently. To examine the response of four maize hybrids to drought stress at different growth stages, a field experiment was carried out as a split plot based on complet...

In order to evaluate the effect of concentration and time of foliar spraying of nitrogen fertilizer as complementary of soil nutrition on dry matter remobilization and seed and oil yield of rapeseed (Hyola401), an experiment was conducted in complete randomized block design with 16 treatments and three replications in two years (2008-2010) in Rice Research Institute of Iran (Rasht). In this exp...

To investigate the effects of drought stress on the water stress, osmotic adjustment and stay green of sorghum genotypes and their relationship with grain yield, a split-plot on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the experimental field of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran in 2015. The main factor was three treatments: control (irrigation af...

The optimum levels of soil moisture and nitrogen are important to obtain higher yields. To investigate the effects of water stress, nitrogen levels and application times on yield and yield components of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), the cultivar Euroflor at different growth stages, a two year study (2006-007) was conducted at Research Fields of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University (Bad...

In order to investigate yield, yield components and quality traits of P. ovata and P. psyllium under water stress and plant density, two experiments were conducted at the Agriculture Research Field, University of Tehran, Karaj, in April 2005 and 2006. Two Factorial experiments based on randomized complete block design with three replications were used. The treatments were three levels of water ...

To study the effect of seed priming on seedling emergence characteristics of lentil and evaluate its interaction with drought stress at flowering stage, an experiment was carried out as split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications at research station of Bu-Ali Sina University, Hamedan, Iran. The main factor consisted drought stress with two levels (conventional irrig...

this study purported to compare and contrast the use of self-mention and evidentials as two mtadiscourse features in opinion columns of persian and english newspapers. the theoretical basis of this study is the idea that metadiscourse features vary across cultural boundaries. for this purpose, 150 persian and 150 english opinion columns were collected based on three factors of topic, audience a...
