In a greenhouse experiment aimed to compare drought resistance, photosystem II efficiency was evaluated using chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and chlorophyll content of four pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) rootstocks based on a completely randomized design (CRD) as factorial with drought treatment (PEG + Hoagland solution) at four levels (0, -0.5, -1 and -2 MPa) and four pistachio rootstocks(A...

High temperature, high irradiance, low water vapour pressure, and lack of precipitation in most months characterize arid ecosystems. Under these conditions, trees such as pistachio suffer drought combined with salinity stress. In order to study the simultaneous effects of salinity and drought stresses on photosynthetic apparatus function in P. khinjuk, seedlings of the species were exposed to o...

The growth and fluorescence parameters of chlorophyll in four corn hybrids including two sweet (K.S.C. 403 and K.S.C. 404) and two grain hybrids (S.C. 500 and S.C. 700) were evaluated in response to Fe and Zn nutrition in a nutrient solution culture. This study was conducted in a randomized complete block design with a factorial arrangement with three replications at the Soilless Culture Resear...

Drought is considered as the most important constraint to world’s crop production. Furthermore arid and semiarid climate accounts for nearly most of terrestrial areas of Iran. Therefore in order to study the effect of irrigation regimes on growth, physiological attributes and grain yield as well as components of such a crop plant as safflower a 4-replicate split plot RCBD field study was perfor...

To study the effect of salinity on photosynthesis pigments, fluorescence and antioxidants of three varieties of peanut leaf as an indicator of resistance to salinity, research was carried out as factorial arrangement based on completely randomized design with three replications in the greenhouse of University of Guilan in 2013. The experiment consisted of a combination of 4 different salinity l...
