The pollution caused by the presence of heavy metals in the air, water and soil is one of the world's ecological problems. In this study, the effect of different concentrations of calcium on the absorption and accumulation of Cd and Zn in M. flavida from Brassicacea was studied. For this purpose, concentrations of 100, 400 and 1600 µM calcium and 1, 5 and 10 µM Cd and 10, 20 and 40 ...

In order to evaluate the interaction of rice genotypes to salinity stress, responses of 16 rice genotypes were assessed to 4 salinity levels (0, 4, 8, 12, dS/m) through a split plot experiment seedling stage in hydroponic culture. In this experiment characters such as plant height, leaf area, root length stem length, dry weight of root and stem, dry weight of leaf and total biomass were measure...

Drought is the most important problems that restrict cultivation of horticultural crops in arid and semi-arid regions and olive (Olea europaea L.) as an important fruit trees grows in these regions. In order to investigate the effect of cycocel treatment on some physioligical characteristics of two olive cultivars (Mary and Mission), under the condition of drought stress, a greenhouse experimen...

In order to study the effects of superabsorbent polymers and drought stress on some morphological characteristics of Rosmarinus officinalis, a pot experiment was conducted as factorial, based on completely randomized design with four replications, in which factors included four levels of drought stress (irrigation up to 100, 75, 50 and 25 percent of field capacity (FC) level, respectively) and ...

Enlarged root systems that extend into the salt affected soil improve water and nutrient capture by plants and can increase plant productivity. In order to examine root system characteristics of four bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (Arg, Ofoq, Tajan and Morvarid) a greenhouse experiment was conducted with applying two salinity levels (0 and 150 mM NaCl) on plants grown in PV...
