In order to investigate the effect of Piriformospora indica endophyte fungi on quantity and quality of peppermint essential oil and physiological parameters under salt stress, An Research Field experiment of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Surrey in 2015 was conducted. Experiment arranged in completely randomized design with three replicates. The experiment was done in...

In recent decade, establish and maintenance of turf grasses is faced with serious doubts due to reduction of precipitation and water resources. So, identification of drought-resistant native and rangeland species, and introducing them as turf grass not only is effective in reducing water consumption, but also help to preserve the genetic resources of the country. In order to evaluate the usabil...

Salinity is one of the main obstacles to the successful production of agricultural products. Hormonal compounds such as salicylic acid (SA) as plant growth regulators can have different physiological and biochemical effects in plants under salt stress. In present research, the effects of different concentrations of sodium chloride (2, 6 and 10 dS/m) and foliar application of SA (0, 0.25 and ...

To investigate the effects of drought stress on the water stress, osmotic adjustment and stay green of sorghum genotypes and their relationship with grain yield, a split-plot on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the experimental field of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran in 2015. The main factor was three treatments: control (irrigation af...

In order to investigate the effects of foliar application of salicylic and ascorbic acids on some physiological characteristics of soybean (Glycine max L. cv. Williams) under salinity stress, a factorial pot experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design with four replications in the summer 2012 in the Yasouj University. Factors were included of four levels of salinity (0, 50, ...

To determine the effects of salinity and boron excess in irrigation water on relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate on a leaf weight basis (NAR), and leaf weight ratio (LWR) of pistachio, three pistachio rootstocks (Badami -Zarand, Sarakhs and Ghazvini) were used. Rootstocks were grown in soil in eight-liter polyethylene pots. Sodium chloride treatments were 0, 75,150 and 225 mM NaCl...
