the development of seminal and lateral root system plays a major role in plant access to water and nutrients under abiotic stress, especially salinity. in order to understand the relation between root growth responsesand shoot physiological indices oftwo bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (kavir and shiraz), a greenhouse experiment was conducted with two salinity levels (0 and ...

in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methanol on some physiological characteristics of chickpea under drought stress, an experiment was conducted as a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in 2011 at the recearch center of plant for sciences in ferdowsi university of mashhad. the first factor was different levels of methanol including, 0 (c...

in this research, effect of vermicompost and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on physiological traits of lemon balm under drought stress condition was investigated in year 2012 at karaj research institute of forest and rangelands. experiment was conducted as split-split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications. irrigation (normal: irrigated to field capacity...

Five alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) cultivars from different areas of Iran were evaluated for oxidative markers under salinity conditions. Plants were grown in hydroponic condition by Hoagland nutrient solution containing different amounts of NaCl (control, 50 and 100 mM). Relative growth rate, membrane stability, lipid peroxidation, proline, hydrogen peroxide and relative water contents were dete...

this experiment was conducted to study the effect of plastic mulch on the growth and some physiological characteristics of two strawberry cultivars (paros and queen elisa) under drought stress. a factorial experiment was performed based on randomized complete block design with four treatments, including mulch, without mulch, normal irrigation (control) and deficit irrigation (-10 bar) with thre...

trees are an important source of wild germplasm for sustainable forestry. wild pear germplasm (pyrus boisseriana) was collected from a forest ecosystem and resistance potential to drought stress was surveyed in a greenhouse. in six-month seedlings, signs of leaf rolling appeared after 18 days without water (drought simulation). gas exchange parameters, such as net photosynthesis, stomatal condu...

ABSTRACT- To investigate the effect of draught stress on water relations, stomatal density, chlorophyll content and yield of rapeseed, an experiment was done with four levels of drought stress including L1 (Field Capacity, FC), L2 (70% Available Water Content, AWC), L3 (50% AWC), and L4 (30% AWC), within three growth stages- including stem elongation (T1), onset of flowering (T2) and silique fo...
