This experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of salinity stress on some traits of two barley genotypes (Hordeum vulgare L.) at greenhouse of Department of Agronomy and Plant Breeding, Shahrekord University, Shahrekord, Iran. A factorial experiment was carried out based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. Treatments included two barley genotypes (...

Abiotic stresses such as salinity and contamination individually have a negative effect on the soil enzyme activities, whereas addition of organic matter to soil can alleviate the negative impacts of stresses on the enzyme activity. However, the combined effects of these stresses (multiple stresses) on soil biochemical conditions and the role of organic matter addition in these interactions are...

Evaluation of certain biochemical and physiological changes under stress can provide an appropriate approach for the study of hereditary factors influencing salt stress tolerance. In this greenhouse study, the changes in water status, osmotic regulators and activity of antioxidant enzymes in leaf tissue of panic blue grass (Panicum antidotale Retz) exposed to salinity were evaluated over five c...

This research was conducted to investigate the effects of external application of auxin and cytokinin on biochemical characteristics of Stevia (sweet variety), as a factorial experiment with randomized complete blocks design, in Shahed University, Tehran, Iran. Treatments were four levels of NaCl (without salinity (2 mM), 40, 80 and 120 mM) and hormonal factor (0.1 mg/L auxin (IAA) and combined...

even though, to date, a lot of studies have been conducted on the subject of politeness theory, there are very few studies regarding the applicability of this theory to translation between english and persian which shows the reason behind conducting the present study. this study was carried out with the aim of highlighting whether there is any difference between english and persian methods of u...

recent studies in scientific education as well as foreign and second language instruction suggest that thinking has rarely been an integral part of education and training in classroom. some scholars decried the lack of emphasis on thinking in the institutes and schools. they noted that memorization and drills were rewarded,while inquiry, reflection, and consideration of alternatives were frowne...

Low quality of irrigation water along with increasing salinity level has reduced the olive yield over recent years in Iran. Screening of salinity tolerance in olive cultivars using gas-exchange parameters, water use efficiency, and relative leaf chlorophyll content are important in olive development programs. This study was carried out to assess the salinity tolerance of four olive cultivars (A...
