in order to investigate the impact of foliar zn application in reducing the negative effects of water stress on bean growth and yield, a field experiment was carried out in the research field of ilam university in 2011. the experiment was arranged in split factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. the experimental factors were water stress including water wi...

this study aimed to assess the response of chickpea genotypes to drought stress in terms of morphological traits and subsequent biochemical changes to further understanding of drought resistance mechanisms in plants and access to better genetic resources. the chickpea genotypes including mcc776, mcc877, mcc696 and mcc588 evaluated at four soil moisture regimes with field capacity (control), 75%...

drought is the most common environmental stress in vineyard occurs in soils with low water content, even in irrigation condition. to evaluate foliar spraying of ascorbic acid under drought stress, a research during 2012 to 2013 years in the natural environment, and one year after the establishment of the cuttings in clay loam soil was conducted. cultivars with two-level white seedless and khosh...

in order to study the effects of soil and foliar application of fe-eddha on some biochemical and physiological traits in safflower under two irrigation regimes an experiment was conducted in 2008 growing season in research field of faculty of agriculture, shahed university. the experimental design was a split-plot based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. mainplots consisted o...

We examine the surface morphological evolution of a conducting crystalline solid under the simultaneous action of an electric field and mechanical stress based on a fully nonlinear model and combining linear stability theory with self-consistent dynamical simulations. We demonstrate that electric current, through surface electromigration, can stabilize the surface morphology of the stressed sol...

We have investigated the structural change of an immiscible blend consisting of two polymers with equal viscosity subjected to a step electric field under shear flow. During the process, three-dimensional images were successfully acquired with a confocal scanning laser microscope, and at the same time, the transient shear stress was also measured. From the images, the interface tensor was calcu...

Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is one of the most widely used turfgrasses for home lawns, golf courses, parks, and athletic fields in temperate climates. Oxidative stress caused by drought stress is a major limiting factor for grass cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. The objective of this study was to investigate whether Prohexadione-Calcium (Pro-Ca) may play a role in promoting ...

We found a stripe formation in an emulsion of a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) and a machine oil (OIL) in electric and shear fields. Through the simultaneous measurement with a confocal scanning laser microscope and a rheometer, it was clearly shown that the formation of stripes, which are periodically arrayed, leads to the increase of the shear stress. The droplets, which are one component o...

to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under water deficit stress on linseed, a field experiment was conducted as split-plot in rcbd design with three replications at the research station of faculty of agriculture at shahrekord university in 2013. water deficit stress at four levels of no stress, mild, medium and severe stress as main factor and inoculation with glomus intraradi...
