in order to study the effect of soil compaction on root and shoot growth of wheat plants (shahriar variety), a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in guilan university. the study design was factorial with completely randomized in three replications. treatments included three compaction levels; (normal compaction, compaction of ten percent and twenty percent) and two type of soil texture (cl...

Pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.) seedlings were grown for 3 or 4 months (second- and third-flush stages) in greenhouses at two atmospheric CO2 concentrations ([CO2]) (350 or 700 micromol mol(-1)) and two nitrogen fertilization regimes (6.1 or 0.61 mmol N l(-1) nutrient solution). Combined effects of [CO2] and nitrogen fertilization on partitioning of newly acquired carbon (C) and nitrogen (N)...

a field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of haloxyfop-r-methyl ester doses in different grass weeds in various growing stages in safflower during 2011-2012 growing season in research farm of college of agriculture, shiraz university. the study was carried our as split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates. the main factor, sub factor and sub sub fa...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of salinity and three nitrogen nutrition on biochemical reactions and changes in dry weight of shoot and root on psyllium (plantago ovata f.), a glasshouse experiment in a complete randomized design with three replications in 2009 at university of zabol was conducted. salinity treatments in this experiment were 0, 100 and 200 mm of nacl and ni...

a pot experiment laid out in factorial arranged in completely randomized design with three replications was implemented to evaluate the effects of seed priming in ameliorating salinity stress in sesame (sesamum indicam l.) during seedling development and the early vegetative growth. factors included five priming treatments : control (non priming) , hydropriming, halopriming with nacl, kcl , cac...

The effects of deficit irrigation (DI) and partial rootzone drying (PRD) on the growth and mineral nutrition of citrus rootstock seedlings in the glasshouse were determined, as well as the potential of DI and PRD to trigger root-to-shoot signalling of abscisic acid (ABA) to increase the growth per amount of water used (water use efficiency (WUE)). In the DI study, 3-month-old seedlings of the i...

light is one of the important environmental factors seriously affecting plant growth. given the availability of roots in aeroponic system, the influence of various light rays emitted towards the root zone of anthurium was studied. foliar spray of calcium nitrate in concentration of 10 mm was tried because of the high importance of calcium element in enhancement of vase life and strength of cut ...

the effect of salicylic acid (sa) on induction of resistance against root-knot nematode (meloidogyne javanica) and the effect of m. javanica to induce biochemical defense responses in tomato (solanum lycopersicum l.) roots at six-leaf stage were investigated. meanwhile, the effect of different concentrations of sa on mortality of second stage juveniles of m. javanica was examined. changes in th...
