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...

Uromyces phaseoli, the causal agent of bean rust, suppressed shoot and root growth of three bean cultivars, reducing root weight more than shoot weight. The greatest suppression of root weight was on the cultivar that appeared most susceptible by visual ratings of shoot symptoms. Meloidogyne incognita suppressed shoot and root growth of all test cultivars; root weight reductions differed among ...

identification of quantitative trait loci is one of the important issues in breeding program especially under stress condition. plant material in the present study was a natural population including 72 tobacco genotypes. in order to apply osmotic stress, mannitol with 0.33 molar concentrations was used. the genotyping of individual were performed using 21 out of 35 primer combinations of aflp m...

models can be used to predict crop yield and inputs levels such as fertilizer, in order to conduct programming for the management of probable future crisis. in this study, based on the model, the effect of nitrogen fertilizer on dry matter partitioning in shoot and root of sugar beet was predicted. for model construction, data were collected from an experiment conducted in karaj city in 2001. i...

Three controlled water supply treatments were applied to 1-year-old peach trees grown in root observation boxes. The treatments were: I(0), growth medium maintained at 50% field capacity; I(1), water supplied when daily net tree stem diameter change was negative or zero for 1 day; I(3) as for I(1) except that water was applied after net daily stem diameter change was negative or zero for 3 cons...

KUMBHAR B. A. AND DABGAR Y. B. Dept. of Biotechnology, Sheth M.N. Science College, Patan (Gujarat) India R.R. Mehta College of Science and C.L. Parikh College of Commerce, Palanpur (Gujarat) India Abstract This study investigated the allelopathic effects of various weed (Euphorbia thiamifolia L.) plant parts on pigeon pea germination and seedling growth. Aqueous extracts of Euphorbia thiamifoli...

  The aim of the present study was to determine effects of artificial drought stress on the characteristics of germination and seedling growth in bread wheat cultivars. The material of experiment consisted of seeds obtained from eight bread wheat cultivars with different response to drought (Alpu 2001, Sultan 95, Konya 2002, Eser as sensitive cultivars; Karahan 99, Tosunbey, Kate A1 as resista...
