Background: How plants respond to stress conditions can play an important role in the establishment and increasing crop yield. The results of researchers’ reports indicate that extensive morphophysiological biochemical changes occur under drought conditions. This study aimed investigate effects ascorbic acid (AA) calcium carbonate (CC) on guar different soil moisture Methods: experimental treat...

The 3-coat-1-bake coating system has been widely employed in automobile body painting. This study examined whether the appearance (waviness) of film can be improved by reducing difference shrinkage percentage (by weight) between primer surfacer and basecoat clearcoat after flow/leveling stops while baking. To delay time (tC) to reduce clearcoat, solventborne clearcoats were prepared blocking al...

o investigate the role of selenomethionine (SeMet) in regulating drought tolerance strawberry plants, we explored effects SeMet on antioxidative enzymes, water physiology and fruit quality plants under stress (DS). In this study, used variety ‘Sweet Charlie’ as material investigated through foliar spraying pot experiments. The results showed that DS obviously enhanced activities antioxidant enz...

Some cucurbit plants (Cucumis sativus L., Cucurbita pepo Cucumis melo L. and Citrillus lanatus L.) were used for investigating some physiological changes protein patterns under heat stress in plants. Leaf samples exposed tohigh temperatures as follows 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 60°C. Percentage of ion leakage, chlorophyll content, leaf relative water content (RWC) loss turgidity, total soluble (TSP) pr...

The effect of dehydration on the specific activities and transcript levels of several glycolytic enzymes was determined in two chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cultivarsPusa362 (drought tolerant) and SBD377 (drought sensitive). Dehydration treatment was imposed on 6 days old chickpea seedlings by removing them from pots and keeping them on table top on 3MM Whatman paper at room temperature for 5 h...

BACKGROUND An increase in the prevalence of thyroid disease has been found with increasing iodine intake, since universal salt iodization (USI) was instituted throughout China in 1996. The aim of this study was to analyze the incidence of thyroid carcinoma (TC) before and after USI in Shenyang, a city of northeastern China. MATERIAL/METHODS The pathology reports were collected from patients w...

Silicon is known to ameliorate the deleterious effects of drought on plant growth. We evaluated growth of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. CV. Chamran) under Water-Deficit Stress Induced by Polyethylene Glycol as affected by Si application. In this article, the effects of Si (as potassium silicate) on some parameters related to growth, chlorophyll concentration relative water content (RWC), electrol...

the deleterious effects of salinity on plant growth and development are associated with the imbalance ion in plant, decreased k+ and increased na+, and ultimately yield loss. in order to evaluate the effects of salinity, 41 bread wheat varieties (trticum aestivum l.) were planted in the randomized complete block design with three replications under two saline irrigation conditions, 0.631 and 11...
