in order to evaluate the effect of drought stress on grain yield and its components of fennel accessions, a field experiment was conducted as a split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications. this experiment was conducted in research farm of agricultural faculty of zanjan university in 2012. in this study water stress in two levels included control and drought stre...

in order to investigate the effect of silicon application on some physiological characteristics and growth of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) under late drought stress condition, an experiment was conducted at the agriculture and natural resources university of ramin, khuzestan during year 2012. the experiment was conducted in the open environment as factorial randomized complete block design with...

The body condition index is a common method for quantifying the energy reserves of individual animals. Because good body condition is necessary for reproduction in many species, body condition indices can indicate the potential reproductive output of a population. Body condition is related to glucocorticoid production, in that low body condition is correlated to high concentrations of corticost...

Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the role of oxidative stress in roots of eight wheat genotypes with different drought tolerance, subjected to drought stress. For analyzing the changes of antioxidant enzymes, native PAGE analyses of protein extract were performed. The roots of wheat seedlings showed one unambiguous isoform of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). Eight iso...

With the development of highly-deviated well cementing techniques, rotating casing cementing technology has got more and more attention. The rotating casing technique can improve the displacement efficiency of cement paste, and then enhance the quality of well cementation. In the stuck section, the rotating casing can redress the well to make the casing run sequentially. The casing endures shea...

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) was first described in 1990 in a Japanese text1 as a reversible form of left ventricular dysfunction, followed up by a case series in five patients. Although previously considered rare, over the past two decades there has been a marked rise in the number of publications relating to TTC, with the current estimation being that the condition accounts for over 1% of a...

one of the most effective ways to deal with drought stress and increase water use efficiency is the development of drought-tolerant varieties which display less reduction in yield per unit water reduction. therefore, the breeding of diploid pollinators was considered as an essential measure for producing drought-tolerant hybrids. in this study, from 4 diploid pollinator populations, 45 half-sib...

Abstract Five bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars including Kavir, Pishtaz, Niknejad, Omid and Roshan were evaluated in a split plot experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Water stress and well-watered conditions were assigned to the main plots and varieties to the subplots. Water stress was imposed by withholding irrigation at the booting stage....

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...
