ارزیابی تحمل تنش اسمزی در ارقام کلزا در شرایط آبکشت

This research was performed in 2011 at University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Iran, to evaluate osmotic-stress tolerance, at seedling stage, of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.), as a split plot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications. Levels of osmotic stress were considered as main factor and twelve rapeseed cultivars were sub-factor, that were evaluated under aquac...

تأثیر پرایمینگ بذر با سایکوسل بر تحمل به تنش اسمزی در مرحله جوانه‌زنی کلزا (Brassica napus)

Osmotic stress is the most important of the abiotic stresses that lead to limitation of growth and yield in rapeseed. This study was conducted to examine the effect of cycocel seed priming on osmotic stress tolerance in germination and early growth stages of rapeseed, as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design at Agriculture College of Shiraz University in 2012. The treatme...

Photosynthetic Characteristics and Antioxidative Responses in Three Species of Crassulaceae Following Drought Stress

Photosynthetic characteristics and induction of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) by drought stress were investigated in Sedum album, Sedum stoloniferum and Rosularia elymaitica from Crassulaceae. Titratable acidity, malate content, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity and gas exchange parameters were determined in plants at the end and beginning of the photoperiod. Results showed t...

Effect of Paclobutrazol on Canopy Temperature and Some Quantitative and Qualitative Characteristics of Two Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) Cultivars in Different Irrigation Regimes

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent reduction in rapeseed grain yield under limited moisture conditions. A field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of paclobutrazol (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 mg L-1) on canopy surface temperature and some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of two rapeseed cultivars (Okapi and Natalie) under full irrigation and late season ...
