Enlarged root systems that extend into the salt affected soil improve water and nutrient capture by plants and can increase plant productivity. In order to examine root system characteristics of four bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (Arg, Ofoq, Tajan and Morvarid) a greenhouse experiment was conducted with applying two salinity levels (0 and 150 mM NaCl) on plants grown in PV...

This experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, Iran in 2014 to evaluate 20 wheat cultivars (Navid, Pishtaz, Karaj, Kavir, Tajan, Karun, sholeh, Bahar, Khoshki 11, Gasparood, Sepahan, Sorkh tokhm, Chamran, Ghods, Shariar, Omid, Sistan, Alamut, Marvdasht and Shiraz) under two carbon dioxide concentrations (the ambient 360 and the enriched 700 µM) and t...

To estimate required parameters of phenology sub-model in SSM-Wheat model (cardinal temperatures, critical photoperiods and photoperiod sensitivity coefficient) and to determine of the biological day for eight bread wheat genotypes (Morvarid, Tajan, Kohdasht, Darya, Gonbad, Arta, N-87-20 and N-87-19) in Golestan province of Iran in 12 sowing dates, an experiment was carried out using randomized...

An understanding of physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance is necessary for breeding programs, in order to select the desired trait in different wheat genotypes. Three bread wheat genotype differing in salt tolerance were employed to assess ion distribution and growth responses under saline conditions. To evaluate ion distribution in plant, sodium and potassium concentrations as well as K+/...

Wheat is an important source of human food. Cadmium and mercury bind to sulfhydryl groups of structural proteins and enzymes and cause inhibition in activity and decrease in protein production or interfere with the regulation of the enzymes. To study the effect of protein expression under different levels of cadmium and mercury, the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design wit...
