3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-thiones were synthesized in the presence of ag nanoparticle/melamine sulfonic acid (msa) supported on silica gel. the reaction was carried out at 110 oc for 20 min under solvent free conditions. in all cases, the three component reaction proceeded smoothly to give the corresponding 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1h)-thiones in moderate to good yield. we have found the best co...

this experiment was conducted to study the effect of plastic mulch on the growth and some physiological characteristics of two strawberry cultivars (paros and queen elisa) under drought stress. a factorial experiment was performed based on randomized complete block design with four treatments, including mulch, without mulch, normal irrigation (control) and deficit irrigation (-10 bar) with thre...

In order to identify drought tolerant chickpea genotypes, an experiment was conducted in the west of Iran, during 2007-2009 cropping seasons. Several selection indices were used to illustrate genotypic differences in response to drought stress. The results of combined analysis of variance showed that year, genotype, stress conditions and their interaction effects were highly significant. Correl...

objective: in order to study the effect of drought stress, salicylic acid (sa) and  jasmonic acid (ja) foliar application on hill reaction and photosynthetic pigments. methods:experiment was done as factorial on the basis of completely randomized design in 4 replications. irrigation in 3 levels (fc,   fc and  fc), salicylic acid in 2 levels (0 and 0.5 mm) and jasmonic acid in 2 levels (0 and 50...

in order to study drought tolerance indices and to introduce tolerant maize hybrids in drought conditions, an experiment was conducted at the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, in 2009. the experiment was carried out using split-plot in a randomized complete block design (crbd) with three replications. the main plots consisted of three levels of irrigation regimes (irri...

the selection of high yielding and stress tolerance plant genotypes with the highest water use efficiency and productivity is one of the most important tools for field water management in arid and semi-arid regions. this study was conducted to identify drought tolerant flax families with the highest irrigation water productivity (iwp) among a population of 119 f3 families derived from a cross b...

Photorespiration results from the oxygenase reaction catalysed by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. In this reaction glycollate-2-phosphate is produced and subsequently metabolized in the photorespiratory pathway to form the Calvin cycle intermediate glycerate-3-phosphate. During this metabolic process, CO2 and NH3 are produced and ATP and reducing equivalents are consumed, thus ...
