the history of plant’s used for mankind is as old as the start of humankind. initially, people used plants for their nutritional proposes but after the discovery of medicinal properties, this natural ?ora became a useful source of disease cure and health improvement across various human communities. berberis vulgaris is one of the medicinal plants used in iranian traditional medicine. berberis ...

  Quantitative traits and the response of 20 genotypes of soybean to water deficit stress were evaluated at Agricultural Research Station of Gorgan in 2010 and 2011. Therefore, 3 separate experiments were conducted, each experiment as randomized complete block design, in 3 replications. In the first experiment, all soybean genotypes were irrigated based on 50 mm evaporation from evaporation pan...

To evaluate effects of different salinity levels on activity of antioxidant enzymes (CAT, APX and GPX) and osmotic components (carbohydrate and proline) in two sorghum genotypes, an experiment was conducted as completely randomized factorial design with three replications in Zabol university in 2007. Three levels of salinity control (0), 100 and 200 mM NaCl and two sorghum genotypes (Payam and ...

Introduction: Salinity is a basic non-living environmental factor that reduces the yield worldwide. In arid and semi-arid regions, the salinity of water and soil limits crop production. Therefore, it is crucially important to assess the salinity tolerance of medicinal herbs if they are to be cultivated in saline areas. Materials and Methods: To investigate the effect of water salinity and so...

The selection efficiency of the most desirable safflower genotypes can be improved by incorporating the graphical methods and statistical analysis. This experiment was carried out to determine grain yield stability of safflower genotypes using the graphical and statistical methods. Twenty safflower genotypes were evaluated in Chachsaran, Choram, Behbehan and Dehdasht using randomized complete b...

 For sustainable rice production in Iran the optimum use of production resources and the reduction of production costs are the two important issues. In this situation, water availability is a major limiting factor in sustainable rice production. Hence, changing of rice production system from lowland irrigated to aerobic production system, which is based on dry-seed sowing in non-puddled and non...
