to study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and oil percentage of goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the agricultural research farm station of islamic azad university, roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. in ...

abstract     evapotranspiration and plant water absorption reduce when exposed to water stress and this reduction results in an increase in leaf temperature. to determine the effect of water stress on leaf temperature and timing of irrigation using leaf temperature, a research was conducted on the research and education greenhouse production center of islamic azad university, isfahan branch (kh...

responses of twenty chickpea genotypes to drought stress were evaluated in the farm of college of agricultutre, razi university, kermanshah, iran in 2006-2007. the experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design with three replications under two water stress and non-stress conditions. the results showed significant differences among the genotypes for most of the traits. maximum y...

eight genotypes of spring safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) were evaluated for several physiological traits under stress and non-stress water regimes. data were analyzed using principal factor analysis. the factor analysis technique extracted six factors under non-stress conditions. six factors explained about 80% of the total variation, and only 40% of the variance was accounted for by the f...

The effect of water stress on respiration and mitochondrial electron transport has been studied in soybean (Glycine max) leaves, using the oxygen-isotope-fractionation technique. Treatments with three levels of water stress were applied by irrigation to replace 100%, 50%, and 0% of daily water use by transpiration. The levels of water stress were characterized in terms of light-saturated stomat...

water deficit stress permanent or temporary limits the growth and distribution of natural vegetation and performance of plants more than other environmental factors. in order to investigate the effect of drought stress and mycorrhizal-arbuscular fungi inoculation on the growth and yield of savory (satureja hortensis l.) a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design were conducted...

Droughtis oneof the most importantfactors limitingcrop productioninarid and semiaridregions, such as Iran.In order to study drought stress in four grain sorghum varieties (Kimia, Sepideh, KGS15 and KGS23), an experiment was laid in randomized complete block design with three replications in a split plot arrangement. Water treatments were considered the main plot at three levels: irrigation afte...

in order to evaluate the effect of salicylic acid on yield and yield components of bean genotypes under water deficit stress, an experiment was carried out as a factorial split plot design with three replications in research farm bu ali-sina university (hamadan, iran) during 2009. stress levels: consist of vegetative water stress, reproduction water stress and without water stress (control) and...

the response of plants to drought stress depends on several factors including the plant developmental stage and the length and severity of the stress applied. common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) is the most important pulse crop that is cultivated worldwide for human consumption. understanding of the mechanisms responsible for its response to drought is, therefore, essential. an increasing numbe...
