Morphological and physiological responses of two common bean cultivars to drought stress

Drought stress is the major problem in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Investigating the response of different cultivars of crop plants to drought stress can help to select the tolerant ones for agriculture in arid lands. In this study, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with two common bean cultivars (Phaseolus vulgari...

Water Stress Effects on Two Common Bean Cultivars with Contrasting Growth Habits

In most rainfed production areas in Iran, where wheat fallow is common, crop yield and resource sustainability could be improved by changing to more diverse crop rotation. It seems necessary to identify crop cultivars suitable for such diversification. This study was aimed to determine responses of two common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) cultivars with different growth habits (Sayyad as an inde...

Response of two soybean cultivars to moisture stress

Differential expression of BnSRK2D gene in two Brassica napus cultivars under water deficit stress

The sucrose non-fermenting 1-related protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) family members are plant unique serine/threonine kinases which play a key role in cellular signaling in response to abiotic stresses. The three SnRK2 members including SRK2D, SRK2I and SRK2E are known to phosphorylate major abscisic acid (ABA) responsive transcription factors, ABF2 and ABF4, involved in an ABA-dependent stress signal...
