salinity stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses which threaten plants. in order to study the effect of salinity stress on yield and yield components of sunflower and also genetic analysis of these traits in relation with salt tolerance, a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications was conducted. pots were arranged outside the greenhouse in...

the present study was designed to evaluate the drought tolerance of new sugar beet monogerm hybrids using polyethylene glycol 6000, under in vitro condition. the experiment was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications in sugar beet seed institute, karaj in 2013. 23 new sugar beet monogerm hybrids with two tolerant and normal controls wer...

Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (TSA) is a full-field technique for experimental stress analysis that is based on infra-red thermography. The technique has proved to be extremely effective for studying elastic stress fields and is now well established. It is based on the measurement of the temperature change that occurs as a result of a stress change. As residual stress is essentially a mean stre...

introduction safflower is native to iran, and is cultivated for high adaptability, low water requirement, resistance to drought and useful unsaturated fatty acid (ashri et al., 1977). identification of effective agronomic traits and relationship between them are important aims under water stress conditions. among these characters, grain yield is the most important trait that is genetically poly...

drought stress is considered as the most important environmental abiotic stress, affecting grain yield of crop plants especially in arid and semi arid regions. increasing and utilization of the genetic diversity can be a useful strategy in breeding for drought resistance. in this study, twenty iranian durum wheat landraces along with two check cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete b...

introduction: the purpose of the presented study was to evaluate the effect of zirconia thickness on the tensile stress of zirconia based all-ceramic restorations. methods: twenty zirconia disks with 10mm diameter were prepared in two groups using cad/cam system. the thickness of zirconia was 0.5mm in first group and 0.3mm in second group. after sintering, 0.4mm glass ceramic porcelain was appl...

drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. proteomics in recent years one of the most powerful tools that help us to study the changes in protein in order to investigate the proteome of wheat leaves in response to terminal drought, two genotypes susceptible and resistant wheat genotypes were evaluated under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fe...
