BACKGROUND Many experimental studies have suggested an important role for barley Rihane(BR)in the prevention of colon cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this study was to evaluate the physico-chemical properties and nutritional characterizations of BR compared to other varieties grown in Tunisia (Manel, Roho and Tej). MATERIAL AND METHODS Total, insoluble and soluble dietary...

The detrimental drought effects could be listed as the loss in dry weight and silicon is known to enhance crop tolerance to drought by increasing seedling growth and hydraulic conductivity. To investigate the effects of silicon priming (0, 1 and 2 mM as sodium silicate), on seedling growth and root anatomy of three barley cultivars (Khatam, Rihane, and Nimrooz) a laboratory experiment was condu...

This paper reports the effects of selenium (Se) application on some physiological characteristics of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Rihane-03) exposed to drought stress. Foliar application to barley at 30 g selenium ha, as sodium selenate, increased significantly shoot dry weight and relative water content in well-watered plants. A remarkable reduction in dry weight of water-stressed plants was...

In order to study the heritability and genetic parameters of antioxidant activity in barely (Hordeum vulgare L.) under salinity stress, a seven-parent half diallel (F1 crosses + parents) was conducted non-stress salt stress (8 12 dS m-1) conditions greenhouse, during 2016-17, Ardabil, Iran. this experiment, enzymes ascorbate peroxidase (APX), catalase (CAT) superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measu...

to cope with cold stress, winter cereals regulate their development through adaptive mechanisms such as vernalization requirement. eight wheat and four barley cultivars were planted to determine the relationship between vernalization fulfilment and expression of cold tolerance under both field and controlled conditions. cultivars were planted at maragheh and karaj agricultural research stations...
