Drought is a major factor limiting growth and development of crops such as mung bean (Vigna radiate (L.) wilczek) in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different timing and severity of drought stress on physiological traits of mung bean and its relation to grain yield. A field experiment was carried out during 2004 growing season at E...

In order to study the effects of salinity on germination, vegetative growth and some physiological characteristics of canola cultivars, two experiments were conducted at Research Station of Agricultural College of University of Kerman in 2004. The experimental design was a Completely Randomized Block with four replications. Treatments comprised all combinations of different levels of three fact...

Knowledge concerning some physiological and biochemical basis of flowering process is essential for achieving higher yield and quality of saffron. This study aimed to elucidate the relation between flower mass ratio and a rough content of carbohydrate, starch and protein of plants do produce flower and non-blooming saffron at flowering stage, affecting on flower development and to determine mas...

This study was carried out in two separate experiments in order to evaluate the responses of different safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes to salinity at germination and vegetative growth stages. In both experiments, thirteen safflower genotypes were investigated under non-saline and saline conditions (100 mM sodium chloride). Germination experiment was done in the seed laboratory and...

A factorial experiment (based on completely randomized design) with three replications was conducted in faculty of agriculture of Urmia University, Iran in 2016 to investigate the effect of soil Zn deficiency on the expression of genes encoding bZIP4, bZIP79 and bZIP97 transcription factors in Zn-efficient and Zn-inefficient bread wheat cultivars. Cv. Bayat (Zn-efficient) and cv. Hirmand (Zn-in...
