low seed germination and seedling emergence is one of the main problems in saline areas. seed priming technique has been known as a challenge to improve germination and seedling emergence under different environmental stress. the objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of seed priming with gibberellin, nacl and water on seed germination and seed reserve utilization and germination...

drought stress as the most important abiotic stress plays a significant role in reduction of crops yield. this study was conducted at six agricultural experimental stations (karadj, ardebil, arak, mashhad, jolgerokh and miandoab) during 2006-08 cropping seasons. experiments were carried out under normal irrigation and post-anthesis drought stress conditions using 18 wheat genotypes. experimenta...

background and objectives: over the last two decades, a large number of researches have been conducted regarding the importance of nitrogen in sugar beet. this indicate that there were needs to investigate more on nitrogen management to achive higher production and quality because less nitrogen application result in reducing yield and high nitrogen application would increase production costs an...

objective(s):parkinson's disease (pd) is known for motor impairments. but often, there are non-motor symptoms such as cognitive deficiency and pain misperception, owing to possible role of nigrostriatal pathway. antioxidants have protective effect on free radical-induced neuronal damage in pd. to further address, we examined the effects of ellagic acid (ea) in a rat model of pd induced by ...

objective: metabolic side effects of the second generation (atypical) antipsychotics have been a forefront of attention since their availability. one common   concern   is   the   development   of   hyperglycemia   and   insulin resistance. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of early initiation of omega-3 fatty acids supplementation on glucose-insulin homeostasis in a group of psy...

background: spermatogonial stem cells (sscs), a subset of undifferentiated type a spermatogonia, are the foundation of complex process of spermatogenesis and could be propagated in vitro culture conditions for long time for germ cell transplantation and fertility preservation. objective: the aim of this study was in vitro propagation of human spermatogonial stem cells (sscs) and improvement of ...

mechanisms of drought stress tolerance of gf677 rootstock, peach and almond hybrid, (prunus persica × prunus amygdalus) were studied under in vitro conditions. plantlets of gf677 rootstock were subcultured into the murashige and skoog (ms) solid proliferation medium containing 1 mg/l ba (6-benzyladenine) and 0.1 mg/l naa (naphthaline acetic acid) in four drought stress levels 0 (control), 10, 2...
