Increasing severity and frequency of drought is predicted for large portions the terrestrial biosphere, with major impacts already documented in wet tropical forests. Using a 4-year rainfall exclusion experiment Daintree Rainforest northeast Australia, we examined canopy tree responses to reduced precipitation soil water availability by quantifying seasonal changes plant hydraulic carbon traits...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of salinity and aba foliar application on growth and physiology of two canola varieties (fornex and okamer). salinity levels (0 and 12 ds/m) and aba foliar application (0, 15 and 30 µmol l-1) were investigated using a factorial split design in 3 replications. results showed variety fornex was salt stress tolerance variety. aba foliar appli...

Drought stress is a major threat to sustainable crop production worldwide. Despite the positive role of calcium (Ca2+) in improving plant drought tolerance different crops, little attention has been paid its mitigating potatoes. In present study, we studied effect foliar chelated sugar alcohol treatments on two potato cultivars with responses applied 15 and 30 days after limiting soil moisture....

in order to determine the effects of zinc foliar application on yield and its components single cross 704 under water stress condition, experiment was carried out at agricultural research center of varamin, in southeast of tehran, during 2007-2008. field experiment was conducted in split plot design based on randomized completely block at three replications. main plots included water stress at ...

in order to study effect of foliar application of iron and zinc on yield and yield components of autumn rapeseed (brassica napus l.) under limited irrigation an experiment was conducted at research farm of agricultural faculty of urmia university in 2009. the experiment was designed in split plot based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments were drought (irrigation ...

Young trees 0.03-1.7 m high of three coexisting Betula species were investigated in four sites of varying soil fertility, but all in full daylight, to separate nutrient and plant size controls on leaf dry mass per unit area (MA), light-saturated foliar photosynthetic electron transport rate (J) and the fraction of plant biomass in foliage (F(L)). Because the site effect was generally non-signif...
