to study the effect of glyphosate application rate and timing on johnsongrass (sorghum halepense) vegetative and reproductive growth, three experiments were conducted in field, greenhouse, and laboratory in the agronomy department of university of tehran, karaj, in 2007 & 2008. in each experiment, treatments were arranged in completely randomized (greenhouse & laboratory) and completely randomi...

In developing neurons the frequency of long duration, spontaneous, transient calcium (Ca2+) elevations localized to the growth cone, is inversely related to the rate of axon elongation and increases several fold when axons pause. Here we report that these spontaneous Ca2+ transients with slow kinetics, called Ca2+ waves, are modulated by conditions of ethanol exposure that alter axonal growth d...

deficit of oil seeds and high volume of oil imports in iran, and limitation of water sources against production of many oil seed crops, demonstrate the importance of detection tolerant species and cultivars for stressful conditions and their most sensitive growth stages to saline stress. in order to study response of spring safflowers (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes to disruption irrigation...

this study was conducted to evaluate the impact of deficit irrigation and growth stages on yield and yield components of potatoes and water use efficiency. a field experiment was conducted at shahrekord agricultural research station over three years of crop seasons using a randomized complete block design with three replications. plots were assigned to five levels of deficit irrigation treatmen...

this study was carried out in order to identify the effects of soil water depletion (swd) on monogerm sugar beet (cv. shirin) seed growth trend at different growth stages. an experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications in ardebil agricultural research station. during 2002 and 2003 cropping seasons, nine treatments including control (irrigation aft...

determination of chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence has the potential needed to analyze the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants against environmental stresses, especially salinity, and its simplicity facilitates stress evaluation. in order to study the response of different photosynthetic characters to salinity stress at different sugar beet growth stages, two separate experime...
