Area of study: East Azerbaijan Province of Iran during the period 2012 and 2013. Material and methods: The study investigated the effects of irrigation (after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm evaporation) and priming (unprimed, and primed seeds with water, 1% KNO3 and 1% KH2PO4) on the antioxidant enzymes, osmolytes, photosynthetic pigments, and fluorescence parameters of borage using a Split-plot experimental design. Main results: The statistical analyses showed no effect of seed priming on all evaluated traits other than mitochondrial superoxide dismutase 3 (SOD3) activity where it was significantly enhanced by seed pretreatment with 1% KNO3 and 1% KH2PO4. However, irrigations after 120 and 150 mm evaporation increased SOD1, SOD2, and SOD3, soluble sugars, and initial fluorescence (F0). The mean contents of Ch a, Ch b, and Ch a+Ch b under mil...

Treatments were arranged in split-split-plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The main factor included F1: control (without fertilizer); F2: bio-fertilizer (Rhizobium); F3: 100 % chemical fertilizer and F4: integration of bio-fertilizer + 50 % chemical fertilizer; sub-factor consisted of three cultivars of chickpea (Adel, Mansour, and Arman) and sub-sub-factor included weeds control (weeding) and weed infested (non-weeding). The results indicated that nitrogen fertilizers, especially the integration of bio-fertilizer + 50 % chemical fertilizer, had a positive effect on all studied traits. The highest number of pods per plant, grain yield, and biological yield were obtained from the Arman cul...

It could cause an accumulation and dispersion of NPs in the environment, with possible harmful effects on living organisms. Nanoparticles significantly affect plants and alter their physiology and biochemical pathways, and nanotechnology can be used to improve plant characteristics that are desirable by humans. Therefore, more extensive studies of NP interactions with plants are still needed. The aim of this report is to investigate the effect of TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) on the enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, fresh and dry weights, and malondialdehyde contents in oakleaf lettuce seedlings. Plants were foliar treated with a 0.75% suspension of TiO2-NPs, while control plants were sprayed with deionized water. Leaves were sampled 4, 7, 9, 11, and 13 days after the treatment. The effects of TiO2-NPs were time-dependent, but the most spectacular changes were...

Salicylic acid and biofertilizers may enhance the plant tolerance to environmental stresses. Thus, two field experiments were arranged as split-plot factorial based on RCB design with three replications in 2014 and 2015 to evaluate the effects of chemical and biological nitrogen fertilizers and salicylic acid on yield, proline and essential oil contents and essential oil composition of coriander seeds under different irrigation treatments in Kermanshah province, Iran. Treatments were 3 levels of water supply (irrigation after 60, 90 and 120 mm evaporation from class A pan), 4 levels of nitrogen fertilizer (control,100 kgha urea, Nitrokara (as biofertilizer) and 50% urea + Nitrokara) and foliar application of salicylic acid (0 and 1 mM). Irrigation treatments and combination of nitrogen fertilizer and salicylic acid were located in the main and sub plots, respectively. Water deficit caused a significant reducti...

Thus, a field experiment was conducted in 2014, to evaluate the effects of nitrogen supply (N1, N2 and N3: 0, 46 and 92kgN.ha-1, respectively) on field performance and yield componentsof Safflower under different irrigation treatments (I1, I2, I3 and I4: irrigation after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm evaporation, respectively). The experiment was arranged as split-plot based on randomized complete block (RCB) design with three replications. Irrigation treatments and nitrogen levels were located in the main and sub plots, respectively.The results indicated thatgrain yield of safflower was not significantly reduced by mild water deficit (I2), but it was decreased under moderate (I3) and severe (I4) water stress mainly due to reduction in plant biomass and grains per plant. Moderate and severe water deficit led to 39.5-54.9% reduction in grain yield compared with well watering (I1).Nitrogen fertilizer, particularly ...

Seed priming may improve plant performance under adverse environmental conditions. Thus, an experiment was conducted in 2012 to investigate field performance of borage in response to seed priming and water limitation. Irrigation treatments (I1, I2, I3 and I4: irrigation after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm evaporation from class A pan, respectively) and seed priming methods [P1 (unprimed), P2 (hydro-priming), P3 (salt-priming with 1% KNO3) and P4 (salt-priming with 1% KH2PO4) for 8 h at 15±1oC] were allocated to main and sub plots, respectively. Percentage ground cover (PGC) under I1 and I2 was considerably higher than that under I3 and I4. PGC slightly improved as a result of seed priming, particularly hydropriming. Decreasing water supply led to 5-34.7 % reduction in biological yield and 34.3-57.3 % reduction in grain yield. Harvest index under severe water deficit (I4) was 34.2 % le...

The treatments were irrigation intervals (irrigation after 60, 90 and 120 mm evaporation from class A pan) and combination of fertilization (control, 100 kg ha Urea, Nitrokara (as biofertilizer), and 50% Urea + Nitrokara) and salicylic acid (0 and 1 mM) that were allocated to main and sub-plots, respectively. Leaves and seeds essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC/MS). Results revealed that (E)-2-decenal was major component in essential oil of coriander leaves, while the main constituent of essential oil in seeds under all treatments was linalool. Water stress increased all major components of leaves essential oil, especially in untreated plants with SA. Application of nitrogen fertilizers, particularly 50% Urea + Nitrokara, had a...

Effects of four levels of salinity (0, 4, 8 and 12 dS/m NaCl) on yield and essential oil content of dill (Anethum graveolens) organs (leaves, flowers and seeds) were investigated in 2010. A factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at the Greenhouse of the University of Tabriz, Iran. Results indicated that mean leaf dry weight per plant under non-saline condition was considerably lower than that under saline conditions. However, the effect of salinity on dry weights of flowers and seeds was not significant. Mean essential oil yield was increased with increasing salinity. This improvement directly related with enhancing total yield under saline condition, since essential oil percentage was not significantly affected by salinity stress. The highest and the lowest percentage and yield of essential oil were obtained from seeds and leaves, respectively. Seeds and flowers were the most beneficial organs of dill for essence production. It was concluded that the dill plant is highly salt tolerant and it can well perform under NaCl salinities up to 12 dS/m.

Treatments were three irrigation intervals (irrigation after 60, 90 and 120 mm evaporation from class A pan) and combination of fertilization (control, urea 100 kg ha–1, Nitrokara (bio-fertilizer), and 50% urea + Nitrokara) and salicylic acid (0 and 1 mM) that were allocated to the main and sub-plots, respectively. The results showed that plant height, length of the longest internode, stem diameter, branches per plant, dry weights of roots and leaves and fruit yield of coriander were reduced and root length enhanced with increasing the irrigation intervals. However, all of the nitrogen fertilizers, especially combined application of 50% ure...
