Leaf and fine root morphology and physiology have been found to vary considerably among tree species, but not much is known about intraspecific variation in root traits and their relatedness to leaf traits. Various aspen progenies (Populus tremula and P. tremuloides) with different growth performance are used in short-rotation forestry. Hence, a better understanding of the link between root tra...

water deficit stress permanent or temporary limits the growth and distribution of natural vegetation and performance of plants more than other environmental factors. in order to investigate the effect of drought stress and mycorrhizal-arbuscular fungi inoculation on the growth and yield of savory (satureja hortensis l.) a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design were conducted...

The effects of different concentrations of Zinc oxide nano particles (ZnONP; 0, 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg L-1) and Humic acid (HA; 0, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 mg L-1) on root length and number, leaf length and number, bulb diameter, and chlorophyll, total phenol, anthocyanin and flavonoid contents were examined under in vitro conditions. Total phenol, flavonoid and anthocyanin contents were signif...

environmental stresses such as drought have important effects on plant growth and development. in order to evaluate the effect of drought tolerance, 12 chickpea genotypes were treated with drought stress in hydroponic condition in greenhouses. treatments were a control and two stress treatments -3 and -6 bar that was created with polyethylene glycol in hydroponic condition. two weeks after the ...

in order to investigation of waterlogging stress effects on morphological and physiological traits of rapeseed in different developmental stages, a pot experiment was conducted at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2010-2011. the experiment design was completely randomized with factorial arrangement and three replications. examined factors were developmental...

rice (oryza sativa l.) is one of the iran's most strategic crops with water shortage as the most important abiotic stress limiting its yield. in the present research the effects of: variety, water regime, nitrogen (n) and phosphorus (p) levels on n, p and k uptake were studied under greenhouse conditions. the experiment design was a factorial one based upon a randomized complete blocks of ...
