To investigate the physiological responses of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L., Alstar hybrid) to water stress under different levels of zinc fertilizer, an experiment was conducted at the Isfahan Agricultural Research Center, Isfahan, Iran, during 2008 and 2009 using a randomized complete block design within a split plot layout with three replications. Five irrigation treatments used in thi...

Drought stress is considered as a restricting factor in plant production and salicylic acid (SA) has been reported to minimize the harmful effects of many stresses including drought. In this study, salicylic acid was sprayed on the leaves of Brassica napus at the 4-leaf stage at concentrations of 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mM for two days. Plants were subjected to drought stress (withholding water for five...

in order to investigated the effect of flooding, different nutrition levels an anti-oxidant characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence, amount of chlorophyll (a, b) and carotenoids leaves soybean (glycine max (l.) merr), cultivar dpx research at the university of agricultural sciences and natural resources, gorgan, in a completely randomized design to factorial arrangement with three replication...

zagros (drought tolerant) and pishtaz (drought susceptible) cultivars were classified on the basis of shoot dry weight and were used as plant material in this study. total chlorophyll, carotenoids, antocyanins, proline, soluble sugar contents, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant enzyme activities and protein patterns were determined. seedlings of wheat genotypes were grown in nutrient solution cult...

The role of preparations supporting plant growth is mainly to reduce the harmful effects various stress factors on plants and ensure high yields good quality. This experiment compared effect mineral stimulator Tytanit® biological preparation Effective Microorganisms (EM) physiological biochemical activity, as well yield common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). photosynthetic pigments, free proline ...

to assess nickel-induced toxicity in plants, zea mays seeds were germinated and cultured on nutrient solution with nickel concentrations of 0, 50, 100 and 200 μm for a period of two weeks. its effects on the growth, hill reaction and photosynthetic pigments content were then investigated. the fresh and dry weight of leaves and roots increased in 50 μm nickel, but decreased in 100 and 200 μm. th...

two field experiments were conducted at the research farm of the faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran during 2009-2010 and 2010-2011, to evaluate the response of fennel (foeniculum vulgare l.) landraces to limited irrigation. experiments were arranged as split plot based on randomized complete block design in three replications with irrigation treatments (irrigation after 60, 90, ...
