In both growth stages of SE and Ant, P concentration was increased linearly in all plant parts by increasing the amount of applied fertilizer phosphorus. In all fertilizer P rates, plant parts in terms of P concentration were arranged as leaf > shoot > total plant > stem > root, and in term of P content were arranged as root< leaf< stem< shoot< total plant.

Sclerotinia is important fungal disease of sunflower that reduces its growth and yield. In this study, the reaction of 100 oily sunflower lines was studied to 6 fungal isolate of sclerotinia disease. Identification of gene loci related to resistance for disease was done with 120 retrotransposon-based primers (REMAP) locus. The results showed that some sunflower genotypes had the good resistant to sclerotinia disease. 8A×/LC1064C genotype showed low necrosis percentage against two A37 (S. sclerotiorum) and M1 (S. minor) isolates. In population structure analysis, 4 subpopulations were identified (K=4) using STRUCTURE software. As well as in associated analysis based on general and mixed linear models (GLM and MLM) using TASEEL software, 9 and 8 loci were identified respectively that are significant association (P≤0.01) with resistant genes that related to sclerotinia. According to the results, CF-UBC826, 1061LTR-UBC818 and 1061LTR-UBC857 markers were commonly related to the resistant genes to some fungal isolate. Identified markers after validation and tranfering to SCAR markers can be used important in sunflower breeding programs for marker-assisted selection (MAS) and developing resistant cultivars to sclerotinia disease.Sunflower is an important crop that its oil has nutritional and high economic value.

In order to determine thresholds of seedling emergence response to temperature, two replicated field experiments were carried out at Ramin Agriculture and Natural Resource University of Khuzestan during 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. In these experiments, seedling emergence of two spring canola cultivars (Hyola 401 and Sarigol) was evaluated in a randomized complete block design with four replications in fifteen planting dates (as environment). Thermal-time model was developed based on the Weibull probability distribution function, and thermal thresholds for seedling emergence response of two spring canola cultivars in field conditions was modeled based on this function. Based on model outputs, the base temperature for seedling emergence (Tb) was estimated to be 5.83 °C in the hybrid Hyola 401 and 4.16 °C in the cultivar Sarigol. The thermal-time required to initiate seedling emergence at sub-optimal temperature range (θT(0)) and the thermal-time needed to complete seedling emergence at supra-optimal temperature regimes without significant differences between two cultivars was estimated to be 55.5 and 5.65 °C d, respectively. Maximum temperature for the 50% probability of the thermoinhibition of seedling emergence (Tm(50)) in hybrid Hyola 401 and cultivar Sarigol was estimated to be 33.02 and 33.30 °C, respectively.

In this experiment, irrigation levels (in two levels of optimal irrigation and drought stress) were applied to main plots and bean cultivars (at two levels of Kusha cultivar and COS16 genotype) and different levels of Brassinosteroid (at four levels of 0, 2, 4 and 6 μM) were allocated to sub plots as factorial. In the flowering stage, by cutting irrigation, drought stress was applied and simultaneously with drought stress, bean plants, were sprayed with Brassinosteroid (Epibrassinolide) at the indicated concentrations. The results showed that drought stress had negative effects on the intercellular CO2 concentration, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, photosynthesis rate and chlorophyll content, but with the elimination of drought stress and re-irrigation, the plants were recovered. The use of Epibrassinolide minimized the negative effects of drought stress on photosynthesis, gas exchange, chlorophyll content and seed yield of bean. The highest seed yield was obtained by application of 2 μM of Epibrassinolide (with an average of 2068.2 kg.h-1).

Main factor was irrigation regimes containing three levels (non stress, water deficit stress in vegetative growth stage and water deficit stress from flowering stage to 10 percent pod set) and subordinate factor was a factorial combination of foliar zinc application containing three levels (non foliar application, water foliar application and zinc sulfate (5000 ppm)) foliar application and cultivars containing two levels (L17 and Clarck 63). Water deficit stress significantly decreased the grain yield. Water deficit stress decreased further Fv/Fm, chlorophyll and soluble protein content in leaves of cultivars, but increased soluble carbohydrates, proline content and antioxidant enzymes activity. Zinc sulfate foliar application increased Fv/Fm, chlorophyll content, soluble protein content in leaves and superoxide dismutase activity in both cultivars, but decreased soluble carbohydrates, proline content, catalase and peroxidase activities. In general, foliar application of zinc decreased harmful effects of oxidative stress due to water deficit stress and improved growth conditions for soybean plants.In order to study the effect of irrigation regimes and zinc foliar application on some physiological traits and yield of soybean, an experiment conducted in 2009 at Faculty of Agriculture of Tarbiat Modares University as randomized complete block design arrangement in split factorial with three replications. Main factor was irrigation regimes containing three levels (non stress, water deficit stress in vegetative growth stage and water deficit stress from flowering stage to 10 percent pod set) and subordinate factor was a factorial combination of foliar zinc application containing three levels (non foliar application, water foliar application and zinc sulfate (5000 ppm)) foliar application and cultivars containing two levels (L17 and Clarck 63). Water deficit stress significantly decreased the grain yield. Water deficit stress decreased further Fv/Fm, chlorophyll and soluble protein content in leaves of cultivars, but increased soluble carbohydrates, proline content and antioxidant enzymes activity. Zinc sulfate foliar application increased Fv/Fm, chlorophyll content, soluble protein content in leaves and superoxide dismutase activity in both cultivars, but decreased soluble carbohydrates, proline content, catalase and peroxidase activities.

Student, Imam Khomeini International University, Qazvin, IranJournal Article20180115This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid on the antioxidant production and physiological-biochemical properties of Chelidonium majus under drought stress condition. For this, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replications in Imam Khomeini International University during 2016-2017. Three factors included drought stress in two levels (non-stress and drought stress with 100% and 50% field capacity irrigation, respectively), elicitor in three levels (control, 100 μm methyl-jasmonate and 2 mM salicylic acid) and plant organs (root, stem and leaf). Analysis of variance and mean comparisons showed that methyl-jasmonate and salicylic acid reduced the activity of CAT enzyme. Both salicylic acid and methyl-jasmonate did not affect the activity of SOD, but methyl-jasmonate increased the activity of GPX and salicylic acid reduced APX activity under drought stress. Also, methyl-jasmonate and salicylic acid reduced APX activity compared to control treatment. The highest amount of protein content was observed in root and then in leaf. Salicylic acid increased total protein content up to 34% compared to control treatment. Both Methyl-jasmonate and salicylic acid increased chlorophyll chlorophyll, carotenoids, flavonoids and anthocyanin compared to control treatment, but salicylic acid was superior in increasing of chlorophyll and carotenoids whereas methyl-jasmonate was superior in increasing of flavonoids and anthocyanin. In conclusion, methyl-jasmonate and salicylic acid have increased the ability of celandine in response to drought stress, and also, in addition to the protective effect against drought-induced oxidation, they increased photosynthetic pigments and some of metabolites.This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of methyl jasmonate and salicylic acid on the antioxidant production and physiological-biochemical properties of Chelidonium majus under drought stress condition.

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of vermicompost and nitrogen fertilizer on quantitative and qualitative yield of S.C 704 corn in a factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The factors consisted of three levels of base fertilizer (application of chemical fertilizer, vermicompost and combined application of 50% chemical fertilizer and vermicompost) at sowing time, and Side dress fertilization (non-consumption, one stage and two levels of nitrogen fertilizer). The results showed that basic fertilizer and side dress fertilizer had a significant effect on traits. The application of fertilizer as well as the application of combined fertilizer and vermicompost had a significant advantage over pure vermicompost application. Most of the increase in grain yield dressing with an increase in plant height, grain yield and its components. The highest grain yield (8935 kg. ha-1) and protein (8.6%) were obtained in the application of combined basic fertilizer application. The results showed that the combined use of basic fertilizer in addition to increasing yield and protein content, can optimize the use of nitrogen fertilizer on corn as well as a one-stop side dress fertilizing can grow and economic performance of the plant to significantly improve.Nowadays, the use of organic fertilizers is very important to optimize the use of chemical fertilizers, as well as increasing the production and preservation of soil fertility in sustainable agricultural systems.

Simple analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between rapeseed lines in terms of grain yield at a probability level of 1%, which indicates that there is enough genetic diversity between them. In combined analysis of variance, the effects of year, location, year × location and genotype × location were also significant at 1% probability level. The comparison of mean grain yield showed that the rapeseed lines Simba, L104 and RGS003 produced the highest grain yield of 3105, 3058, 3032 kg ha-1, respectively. For stability analysis, different methods of stability including one-variable and regression methods (12 methods in total) were performed. Based on the integration of the results of these methods, three rapeseed lines Simba, L104 and RGS003 were stable and high yielding.
