In many plants, glycine betaine acts as an osmotic protectant and osmolyte. But some plants, such as the tomato, are not able to synthesize and accumulate this osmolyte. This study was designed to investigate the effect of exogenous application of glycine betaine in reducing drought stress in tomato plants. Water stress in three levels (0, 3 days and 5 days without irrigation) and glycine betai...

In this research, have been investigated the effects of endophytic fungi from Neotyphidum genius that has mandatory symbiosis with tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea schreb) and drought stress on changes in the protein profile of the tall fescue species. This process requires changes in the gene and protein expression profiles. Since these proteins have not been reported for tall fescue species. ...

Nickel (Ni) is an element which has been added recently to the list of necessary micronutrients for plants. But, as a heavy metal, especially at high concentrations, it causes oxidative stress in plants. Knowledge of physiological and biochemical responses of plants to Ni stress can help to understand the mechanisms of adaptability. The effects of Ni on chlorophyll content, proline, soluble pro...

Plant growth regulators (PGRs), which are widely used in agriculture, have various effects on different morphological and physiological characteristics of wheat cultivars. To examine the effect of two PGRs [cycocel (CCC) and salicylic acid (SA)] on some morphological and physiological properties of bread (Roshan) and durum (Yavarous) wheat cultivars under different irrigation regimes [normal (a...
