in this study the response of 9 rapeseed genotypes were evaluated at the seedling stage using different irrigation levels (50, 70 and 100% fc). a factorial experiment based on rcbd was conducted in the research greenhouses of urmia university with four replications during summer of 2013. some physiological traits such as relative water content, stomatal conductance, transpiration, photosynthesi...

environmental stress especially drought is one of the most important factors to reduce and disturbance in different stages of floral growth especially sprouting in dry and semi-dry lands of iran. for this purpose a factorial essay executed in accidentally manner with four iterations in vitro condition. four genotypes of bromus tomentellus pasture types were used (92 tehran, 630 kordestan, 3414 ...

oil contamination is one of the most common and usual kinds of pollution in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. one of the economical and effective methods for decreasing or eliminating oil contamination is using plants and microorganisms. soils contain a wide variety of oil decomposing microorganisms, of which pseudomonad, rhodocoous and nocardia are the most important. to evaluate the effect ...

allelopathic relationship between plant associations, could be applied in non-chemical ‎weed management, however, those allelochemicals should not have adverse effects on arable ‎crops. in order to evaluate allelopatic effects of barley (hordeum vulgare) on ‎germination & growth characteristics of lentil (lens esculenta), two experiments were ‎conducted based on compactly randomized design (crd...

We developed an equation for estimating Arundo donax shoot dry weight from shoot length. The equation, shoot dry weight (g) = 14.254 (standard error = 0.275) shoot height (m), was as effective at explaining a high proportion of total variation in shoot dry weight (R = 0.90) as more complicated equations containing additional morphometric parameters. Tested against two independent datasets, the ...

The effect of cement dust on the growth parameters of brinjal (Solanum melongena) was studied. The cement dust (2 g/plant) exhibited both inhibitory and promotory effects on different growth parameters of the S. melongena. The decrease in the number of leaves (37.19 and 62.28%), leaf area (57.93 and 57.26%), root length (48.21 and 56.75%), shoot length (27.27 and 38.98%), plant circumference (3...

Aeroponic culture is an alternative method for optimizing growth of different plants in controlled conditions. Aeroponic systems are an efficient tool for the root studies and improving medicinal root production. In order to study the feasibility of valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) production in aeroponic systems and assessing the effects of different NAA concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5...
