In order to physiological and biochemical evaluation of seventh generation of rice mutant tolerant lines under salinity stress, an experiment was carried out as split plot arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with four replications. Main factor of experiment includes three levels of salt stress (0, 45, 75 mmol/l) and sub factor include 5 local rice mutant lines contain Tarom Hashemi 1, Ta...

Sesame is one of the plants that due to the high content (47-52%) and high quality (low cholesterol and some antioxidants) its seed oil, important role has in human health. An experimental with objective to evaluate eight local landraces of sesame to drought stress based on grain yield and drought tolerance indices using factorial split plot design was conducted with three replications in resea...

In order to study the response of rice genotypes to different levels of nitrogen (N), an experiment was conducted to evaluate growth and development of 28 selected rice genotypes (improved and local from north of Iran, and cultivated in Central Iran) under two levels of N including 2.85 mM (N concentration of Yoshida solution) and 1.42 mM (half the N concentration of Yoshida solution) from ammo...

Arsenic contamination in soils often leads to groundwater contamination and arsenic toxicity in plants, humans and animals. Plant hormones play a quantitative and qualitative role in the coordination of growth and yield in plants. In this research the effects of gibberellin and sodium arsenate in different genotypes of rice were studied. The work has been conducted as a factorial experiment bas...

Background: Unsustainable development of agriculture and aquaculture has reduced the water quality of rivers. The most important aim of this study is assessing of water quality in the Ghezel Özan basin in Zanjan province. Method: 18 sites were selected based on standard criteria including land use, geology, biodiversity points, accessibility and standard distributions. Content of Dissolved Oxyg...

Rice is a second important crop at Iran and its cooking and eating quality plays important role for consumers. In order to improve yield and quality, a set of crosses among Amol- l3 and Sepidrood made with Domsiah Mashhad and Sange Jo. (Amol- l3 and Sepidrood belong to improved and Domsiah Mashhad and Sange Jo belong to local varieties). The F1 is back crossed with local varieties as donor pare...
