In order to investigation the effect of planting date and foliar application Zinc sulfate and Selenium on tolerance to high temperature on two Wheat cultivars one experiment was carried out in a split factorial experiment based on a complete randomized block design with three replications at the experimental farm of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz during a growing season 2017-2018. Three factors were investigated in this experiment. initial factor including three planting date (Nov 11, Des 11, Jan 10). The solution type was used as the second factor: 1- foliar application with tap water (control), 2- foliar application with selenium (4 mg/lit), 3- foliar application with zinc sulfate (0.04%) and third factor including two wheat cultivars (Chamran and Star). According to the results in planting date of 20 January, the number of grains per spike decreased in the foliar application treatments by zinc solfate 10%, Selenium 36% and control 33% compared to similar treatments in the planting date of November 20th. In the planting date of January 20, the decrease in grain yield compared to the planting date of November 20th was 49.3% in the control treatment and 49.9% in the selenium treatment While in zinc sulfate treatment, yield reduction was 20.19%. According to the results obtained in folia application, Zn sulfate increased grain yield in two wheat cultivars by increasing the number of grains per spike, 1000- grain weight and grain filling duration.

To study some physiological and morphological traits of sugar beet varieties in response to salinity stress, three multi-germ sugar beets (13030, 22393 and IC) were grown in the greenhouse, Faculty of Agriculture, Shahid Chamran University, in 2009. The experiment was carried out under three levels of salinity in from of sodium chloride source, that included control (zero), 100 and 200 mM uses factorial design test based on a randomized complete block with three replications. Seeds were sown in plastic pots and salt treatments were begun 30 days after sowing. After 60 days salt treatment, the plants were harvested and analyzed. The analysis of variance results showed that salinity had significant effect on all of the parameters. The results of mean comparisons showed that by increasing salinity, root dry weight, shoot and leaf area significantly decreased, but salinity had not significant effect on the leaf number. Indeed, by increasing of salinity, the relative water content of leaf and stomatal conductance were decreased, while, the relative membrane permeability and proline content in leaves of all genotypes increased. Higher concentrations of sodium chloride decreased osmotic potential. An increase of proline neither affected electrolyte leakage nor plant water status. Therefore, in sugar beet, the antioxidant role of proline could not provide plasma membranes protection against damage caused by salt stress. According to this study, root dry weight of 90 days plants, sis was related to drought tolerance in the three varieties studied.
