In order to study the effect of alkaline stress on seed germination and seedling biochemical characteristics of two safflower cultivars, a laboratory experiment was conducted based on a completely randomized design with three replications in the Vali-e-Asr University of Rafsanjan. Experimental factors included the levels of alkaline with sodium bicarbonate (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 mM) and ...

This research was carried out in a factorial split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with four replications in Semnan Agriculture Research Center, Bastam, central Iran, in 2019. Experimental treatments included irrigation as the main factor at three levels of 100, 75 and 50% of water requirement and sub-factors including cultivar at three levels (Titicaca, Q26 and Q29)...

in this study, the effects of oleothermal modification on physical and mechanical peroperties of fir wood (abeis sp.) blocks were examined. at first, some blocks of fir wood with 5 × 20 × 120 cm dimensions were prepared. the blocks were treated in soybean oil. the effects of 3 factors such as treatments temperature (180and 200 °c), holding time (12 and 15 h) and initial moisture content of wood...

Terminal heat stress in hot and dry conditions like Ahwaz reduces the quantitative and qualitative yield of wheat. In order to study the effect of terminal heat stress on grain filling period duration, grain filling rate and quantitative and qualitative yield of 20 spring bread wheat cultivars, a field experiment was conducted in Research Farm of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources Univ...

Under drought stress condition, the signaling system induces expression of certain genes to counteract the deleterious effects of environmental stress. Among the essential micronutrients for plant growth and development, zinc has an important role in many plant metabolic processes including gene expression and stress tolerance. In order to investigate the effect of drought stress and ZnO on r...

Considering the increasing trend of salinity development and the lack of suitable arable lands for agriculture in the world, the use of saline resistant species that reduce the effects of salinity stress in plants is very important. The aim of the present study was, investigation and comparison of morphophysiological and biochemical traits in leaf tissue of two barley cultivars (Aklyl and Zahak...

To evaluate the response of wheat genotypes to terminal drought stress and to identify drought tolerant and sensitive genotypes, 20 wheat genotypes were compared in two stress and normal conditions, in a field experiment carried out at the Experimental Farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran, as a split-plot arrangement using complete randomized blocks design with four r...
