Considering the effect of salinity stress on the quantitative and qualitative traits of sugar beet genotypes, it seems necessary to study the response of genotypes obtained from breeding programs to salinity stress. For this purpose, 17 full-sib genotypes (derived from sibling crossing) with 7 different tolerant control under two salinity stress (electrical conductivity 17.36 dsm) and without s...

In order to determine the most appropriate nutrient solution spraying interval and effects of light quality in the root zone on anthurium in aeroponic system, a split plot experiment, with completely randomized design, was carried out in a greenhouse located in the city of Karaj, Iran. In this study, time between the sprays was the main plot and consisted of two levels (2 minutes spray and 30 m...

One of the most important limiting factors of crop growth in the arid and semi-arid regions is water deficit. Mycorrhizal fungi is one of the most important microorganisms in the rhizosphere. The effects of these fungi apply via changes on some of the characteristics of roots and nutrients uptake in host plants under drought conditions. In order to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal ...

To investigate the effects of phosphorus (P) and pistachio waste (raw and dry) on growth and chemical composition of pistachio (Pistacia vera L. cv. Badami Zarand) seedlings, a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replications was conducted. Treatments were three levels of P (0, 50 and 100 mg P/kg soil) and three levels of pistachio green hull (0, 3 and 6% w/w). The ...

Lolium perenne has symbiosis relationships with an important group of endophytes genus Neotyphodium. Agronomic traits of this plant and its resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses are affected by Neotyphodium spp., resulting to changes in its physiology and morphology. Effect of Nickel and endophyte symbiosis on growth parameters and nickel uptake in two different natural populations are inve...

the present study has tried to accomplish an analysis of margaret atwood’s novels oryx and crake, and the year of the flood in the light of posthuman and cyborg theories. considering posthumanism as a critical reading of some notions of humanism focus of which in this thesis has been identity, new definitions for humanity and human identity are formed. haraway’s cyborg, as one possible new figu...

A laboratory research carried out to evaluate the effect of drought stress on germination characteristics in two 'Indian' and 'Isfahanian' populations of Fenugreek. This experiment performed in a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replicates. Four levels of drought stress applied by using polyethylene glycol 6000. Percentage of germination, germination rate,...
