Water deficit has adverse effects on plant growth and yield and the application of growth-regulators increases the tolerance of plants to drought stress. Due to the low water resources in Iran and the use of coriander in the different industries, a field experiment was carried out as a split-plot based on an RCB design with three replications in 2020, to evaluate some physiological changes, yield and yield components, essential oil and water use efficiency (WUE) of coriander, in response to water limitation and salicylic acid (SA) and brassinosteroid treatments. Irrigation intervals (irrigation after 70, 100, 130 and 160 mm evaporation from class A pan) were assigned to main plots and foliar application treatments (control, SA (1 mmolar) and brassinosteroid (1 μmolar)) were allocated to sub-plots. Water stress reduced the relative water content, membrane stability index and leaf area index by 18.4, 12.8 and 15.1 percent, respectively, compared to well-irrigation. The mean of these traits increased with the application of SA and brassinosteroid. Drought stress reduced the number of umbels per plant, grains per umbels, grain per plant, biological and grain yield. Foliar application of SA and brassinosteroid caused a significant increase in the number of umbels per plant (14.1 and 7.3 percent respectively), biological (21.9 and 10.2 percent respectively) and grain (18.6 and 9.6 percent respectively) yield. Under drought stress, the essential oil percentage increased (36.9 percent), but the essential oil yield decreased (67.8 percent).

In order to study the effect of bio fertilizers and putrescine on yield and some traits of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) at various irrigation levels, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm of University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, during 2018-2019. The factors include irrigation (full irrigation as control, irrigation withholding at 50% of heading and booting stages), bio fertilizers (no bio fertilizer, application of mycorrhiza, both application Psedomunas and Flavobacterim, application of mycorrhiza with Psedomunas and Flavobacterim) and putrescine foliar application (foliar application with water as control, foliar application with 0.5 and 1 mM of putrescine). Comparison of the means showed that the maximum amount of relative water content of flag leaf; chlorophyll index, stomatal conductance and quantum yield were obtained in full irrigation, application of mycorrhiza with Psedomunas and Flavobacterim and foliar application 1 mM of putrescine. Foliar application 1 mM of putrescine increased grain yield of about 8.5% in comparison with no application of putrescine. Also, the highest grain yield (799.44 and 746.38 g.m-2) were obtained with application of both Psedomunas and Flavobacterim, as well as application of mycorrhiza with Psedomunas and Flavobacterim, respectively under full irrigation conditions. In the meantime, the lowest (403.42 g.m-2) belongs to the treatment under irrigation withholding in booting stage, without the application of bio fertilizer. It seems that application of putrescine and bio fertilizers can increase grain yield of wheat under water limitation conditions as it improves some physiological traits.

In order to study the effect of irrigation levels and application of methanol and nano iron oxide on yield and grain filling components of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm of the Islamic Azad University, Ardabil Branch in 2017. The experimental factors were included: application of methanol (foliar application with water as control, 20 and 30 volume percent), nano iron oxide (foliar application with water as control, application of 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 g.L-1) and irrigation levels (full irrigation as control, irrigation withholding at flowering stage, irrigation withholding at grain filling period). The results showed that the highest grain yield (2952 kg/ha), number of filled grains per head (1121 grains per head), 1000-grain weight (50 g), rate and grain filling period, effective grain filling period (0.00239 g/day, 42 and 33 days respectively) and chlorophyll index (56) were obtained in full irrigation and high levels of methanol and nano iron oxide. Maximum of proline and soluble sugars content (11.1 µg/g FW and 72 mg/g FW) were obtained in irrigation withholding at flowering stage and application of high rates of methanol and nano iron oxide. The least of they were obtained in full irrigation and no application of methanol and nano iron oxide.
