Titanium (Ti) is a very interesting chemical element, especially physiologically. Although Ti is not toxic for animals and humans, its effects on plants show remarkable concentration dependence. Whereas for plants, it shows beneficial effects on various physiological parameters at low doses. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of bulk and nanoparticles titanium foliar application on some agronomic traits, seed gluten and starch contents of wheat under water deficit stress conditions during 2010-2011 growing seasons. The experimental design was randomized in complete blocks arranged in split-split plots with four replications. The factors included normal irrigation, water deficit stress (irrigation withholding at two growing stages of stem elongation and flowering), two growing stages for water deficit stress induction and titanium applications, five titanium concentrations, sources including control of titanium oxide (bulk), and three concentrations of 0.01%, 0.02%, and 0.03% of titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Plant height, ear weight, ear number, seed number, 1000-seed weight, final yield, biomass, harvest index, gluten, and starch contents were assayed. The results showed that water deficit stress caused significant decrease in plant growth, yield and yield components. In addition, among the different titanium treatments, titanium dioxide nanoparticles at 0.02% increased almost all agronomic traits including gluten and starch content. Thus, the application of titanium dioxide nanoparticles under conditions of water deficit stress is recommended.
In order to study effect of zeolite soil application and selenium foliar application on growth, yield and yield components of three canola cultivar under conditions of late season drought stress an experiment was conducted in two growing season in 2006 and 2007. Site study was field of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Karaj, Iran. The experimental design was a Randomized Complete Block arrangement in factorial split plot with three replications. Irrigation factors were chosen at two levels, included complete irrigation and irrigation holding at stem elongation stage. Zeolite was used at two levels, non application and 10 ton per hectare. Also selenium was sprayed at three concentrations, 0, 15 and 30 gr per liter from sodium selenate. These treatments were randomized in main plots while three canola cultivars ('Zarfam' , 'Okapi' and 'Sarigol') were randomized in sub plots. The results showed that, main effects of different irrigation levels have significant effect on all traits and drought stress decreased significantly all traits. Foliar application of selenium had significant and additive effect on plant height, number of pods in plant, number of seeds in pod, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index and oil yield. There was significant difference between zeolite application and non application on all traits except oil percent and harvest index. It was shown that canola cultivars were different in all of studied traits. Comparison of means showed that, four critical traits that is seed yield, biological yield, harvest index and oil yield were affected by experimental treatments. Different cultivars have different responses under unlike conditions inside upon traits. Under different treatment conditions especially drought stress, zeolite and selenium application have positive and significant effect on traits related to yield. In finally, zeolite and selenium application in dry lands that are exposure to late season drought stress can be helpful for yield improvement and prevent of decreasing yield.
Problem statement:In order to evaluate drought stress and methanol on yield and yield components of soybean in field experiments with factorial experiment inform of a randomized complete block design with three replication in field faculty of agricultural of Islamic Azad University Karaj, at 2008. First factor were sprayed aqueous solutions 0 (control), 7, 14.21, 28 and 35% (v/v) methanol by 3 times during growth season of soybean with 12 days intervals on shoot of soybean. Second factor were drought stress condition in two levels 40 and 70% base of depletion available soil moisture. Approach: This study measured grain yield, biomass HI, 1000 grain weigh, high plants, number of branch, diameter of stem, number of pod on plant, number of hollow pod. Results: Results of the experiment indicated that significant differences exist (p>0.05) between sprayed of solution methanol on parameters. Results also showed that was significant (p>0.05) differences between effect of drought stress levels on measured parameters. Effect of aqueous solution 14, 21 and 28% (v/v) methanol on measured parameters was greater than other treatments. Foliar application of 14 and 21% (v/v) methanol increased leaf area index, crop growth rate, pod growth rate, leaf area duration, pod yield, seed yield, weight of 1000 kernel, mature pods per plants. Conclusion: The lowest grain yield obtained in control and 35% (v/v) methanol treatments. Interaction effects were not significant.
For study the effects of different levels of irrigating according to the 0, 25, 50 and 75% of field capacity to the amount of food less demand's elements in the number of 5 and Rapeseed (Brassica napus) line this experiment randomized complete block design had been executed in the field at 2002-2003 in the research field of agricultural university of Varamin, Azad University. The amount of the needed fertilizer had consumed according to the soil analysis of the test site. At the end of the research for determining the amount of each element in each caring, the leaf samples had transferred to the laboratory and the necessary examination had been performed. The result had been Variance analyzed with the help SAS software and the comparison of the data average had executed with the help of the multi amplitude test of Duncan. According to the results of Variance analysis, the difference of elements in the numbers and different lines of Rapeseed (Brassica napus) and the different levels of irrigating and the counter effect of these two factors had been meaningful in the level of 1% and among the numbers only the element of Sulphur had the statistical meaningful difference. The variety of Hyola-42 and Mohican had allocated the first and the last statistical class to itself orderly with the average of 1.94 and 1.03%. The varieties were not meaningful in the case of the amount percentage of boron and Zn in the dry substance of leaf. Also in this study the different levels of irrigation has been meaningful effects on the amount of percentage of the elements 3. With increasing of the intensity of drought stress from 75-0% the F.C amount of element have shown the decreasing amount and Sulphur had reached from 1.98-1.01% and the Zinc had reached to the 15.2 mg from 29.6% in the dry substance of the leaf. However the amount of the results had shown the reduction but they were meaningless in the case of statistic.
Canola has the lowest saturated fat content among vegetable oils and thus presents an increasing demand for diet-conscious consumers (Grombacher & Nelson 1992). Erucic acid and glucosinolate are considered toxic for both human and animals' health, in addition to its bitter taste (Muhammad et al. 1991). Safe limits for these compounds have been
