In order to investigate the effect of plant density on yield and grain components of three canola cultivars in north of Khuzestan, an experiment was conducted in Agricultural Research Station of Agricultural Faculty of Islamic Azad University of Dezful Branch in Sanandz in 2012. This experiment was conducted as factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plant densities were considered at three levels (60, 80 and 100 plants per square meter) and canola cultivars (hayola 308, hayola 401 and S003). The results of analysis of variance showed that plant density and cultivar had a significant effect on grain yield, harvest index and oilseed rape oil yield, while 1000 seed weight, oil percentage and seed number per pod were not affected by density and cultivar treatments. Hayola 401 and Hayola 308 cultivars had the highest seed yield, and their grain yield increased with increasing plant density. The highest grain yield and canola oil yields were  at a density of 100 plants / m 2, with an average of 4470 and 2023.82 kg / ha, respectively. The highest grain yield was obtained at 100 and 80 plant / m2.       Manuscript profile

Salt stress is one of the major a biotic stresses especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of the salt stress on APX and SOD activities in safflower genotypes based in a factorial experiment as a randomized complete block design (CRD) with three replications. The experimental factors were six genotypes of safflower (Arak, Isfahan, Khorasan, C111, AC-stirling and Saffire) and five levels salt stress (0(control), 50, 100, 150 and 200Mm NaCl). There was a significant difference between genotypes in activity of SOD and APX enzymes under salt stress, with notable superiority of Isfahan genotype over other genotypes. Maximum activity of SOD was 99.16 uni/g Fw for Isfahan genotype under 150 Mm NaCl. In general, it seems that Isfahan genotype had more tolerance to salinity and AC-stirling was sensitive to salt stress. The results showed that Isfahan genotype had the greatest APX activity with 91unit/gFW while AC-stirling has the lowest content with 58unit/g FW at control treatment. The activity of both enzymes increased with salt stress, that this increase was dependent on genotype. APX and SOD activity decreased at the 200 Mm NaCl concentrations. The reason for declining in enzyme activity may be returned to enzyme protein damage by high salt stress or adaptation of plants to salt stress. Analysis of seedling traits showed that similar to antioxidants context, the genotypes of Isfahan and Ac-sterling had the most and the least values for all of the studied traits. The result showed that Isfahan genotype could be proposed for salt breeding programs in safflower. Manuscript profile

This experiment was carried out for two years (2009-2010) with using 17 soybean genotypes at Agriculture and Natural Resources Research Centre of Ardabil (Moghan) as a completely randomized block design with three replications. Eco-physiological and agronomic parameters such as extinction coefficient, light use efficiency, yield and yield components was investigated in soybean at second cropping. Based on analysis of combined variance, the effect of year was significant on number of pods and seeds per plant. All traits were differences significant among genotypes in both years. The maximum (0.62 ± .084) and minimum (0.44 ± 0.034) values for light extinction coefficients were obtained from Hsus-H116 and Apollo genotypes respectively. The highest radiation use efficiency (1.14 ± 0.134) was obtained from Darby, and the lowest (0.91 ± 0.152) from L.17 genotype. Apollo and Zane genotypes had the highest number of pods and seeds per plant in both years. The highest seed weight was obtained from Omaha and NE-3399 genotypes in first and second years, respectively. The highest seed yield was obtained from Apollo (with 3513 Kg. ha-1) in first year and from Zane genotype (with 3774 Kg. ha-1) at second year of experiment, whereas Rend and L.83-570 genotypes had the lowest seed yield in both years.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of water extracts of barley plant residues (10, 20 and 30% concentration) on seedling growth and leakage of Ryegrass and wild oat, was carried out as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with four replications. The results showed that increasing the concentration of Barley extract was seedling length and seedling dry weight in wild oat and ryegrass reduced. Increasing the concentration of barley extracts increased the degradation of cell membrane and malondialdehyde concentration in weed seedlings. Also, spray application of barley extract stimulated the activity of antioxidant enzymes catalase and peroxidase in seedlings. At the highest concentration of barley extracts, the highest cell membrane degradation (52%) and the lowest seedling dry weight (0.28 g) were observed in ryegrass seedlings. Manuscript profile
