The influence of zinc, iron, cobalt, and manganese on submerged cultures of Fusarium moniliforme NRRL 13616 was assessed by measuring dry weight accumulation, fusarin C biosynthesis, and ammonia assimilation. Shake flask cultures were grown in a nitrogen-limited defined medium supplemented with various combinations of metal ions according to partial-factorial experimental designs. Zinc (26 to 3...

in order to evaluation the effect of drought stress on germination indices and early seedling growth of medicinal herb dill (anethum graveolens l), an experiment was conducted in the agricultural laboratory of urmia payam noor university in 2015 as a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were five levels of drought stress (0, -1, -2, -3 and -4 bar induced by polyet...

in order to study the effects of four concentrations (check, 5, 10 and 15%) of hull extracts on growth of 10 iranian rice cultivars, two experiments were conducted in completely randomized block design with factorial arrangement and three replications at two sites, laboratory and greenhouse. laboratory study showed that same rice hull extracts had stimulat effects and the others had inhibitory ...

In order to investigate the effect of pruning and potassium nutrition on pumpkin grain yield and quality, a factorial experiment based on complete block design with four replications was carried out in nooshar village of ardabil province, Ardabil, Iran, in 2007. Experimental factors include potassium nutrition in three level (0, 75 and 150 kg/ha from potassium sulfate) and stem pruning (without...

ABSTRACT- Field experiments were conducted to determine the relationship between plant leaf area as the dependent variable with leaves number, leaf dry weight, and total vegetative components dry weight and plant height as the independent variables. Treatments were two tillage systems (conventional and no-tillage) as main plots, and seven sowing dates (11 May, 18 May, 25 May, 1...

in order  to study the effect of drought stress on some growth indices of oil sunflower cultivars, a study was conducted in isfahan. the experiment was conducted as split plots in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in isfahan (51° 48' e, 32° 40' n).main plots were drought stress in four levels (80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan class a and cultiv...

introduction major cultivated cotton regions of iran are located in dry and semiarid climates, therefore water deficiency or drought stress is inseparable part of cotton production systems in these regions. so identification and introduction of drought tolerant cotton genotypes is crucial. showed that water stress decreased plant growth rate, leaf area and finally photosynthesis in cotton. in a...
