Arsenic Stress Tolerance in Lentil Varieties

study of drought tolerance of 15 lentil varieties

in order to assess the drought tolerance in 15 lentil genotypes, a field experiment was conducted during 2001-02 growing season in dryland agricultural research institute (dari) station of shirvan, in northern khorasan, iran, under rainfed and irrigated conditions. the experimental design was rcb with three replications. data for agronomic traits of plant height, number of empty and filled pods...

Evaluation of Wild Lentil Species as Genetic Resources to Improve Drought Tolerance in Cultivated Lentil

Increasingly unpredictable annual rainfall amounts and distribution patterns have far reaching implications for pulse crop biology. Seedling and whole plant survival will be affected given that water is a key factor in plant photosynthesis and also influences the evolving disease spectrum that affects crops. The wild relatives of cultivated lentil are native to drought prone areas, making them ...

Salt tolerance of sunflower varieties during germination

Stress Tolerance Profiling of a Collection of Extant Salt-Tolerant Rice Varieties and Transgenic Plants Overexpressing Abiotic Stress Tolerance Genes.

Environmental stress tolerance is an important trait for crop improvement. In recent decades, numerous genes that confer tolerance to abiotic stress such as salinity were reported. However, the levels of salt tolerance differ greatly depending on growth conditions, and mechanisms underlying the complicated nature of stress tolerance are far from being fully understood. In this study, we investi...

evaluation of salinity tolerance of forage sorghum varieties with stress tolerance and susceptibility indices

the objective of this study was evaluation of salt tolerance of elite forage sorghum lines in laboratory and field conditions. salinity treatments were 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 decisimens per meter in laboratory and distilled water as control. lines were kfs1, kfs2, kfs3, kfs4, mfs1, mfs2 and lfs56. the lines also cultivated in saline and non saline field conditions during 2004-2005. electrical co...
