Water-deficit Stress in Cotton
Water deficit is the major abiotic factor limiting plant growth and crop productivity around the world (Kramer, 1983). Approximately one third of the cultivated area of the world suffers from chronically inadequate supplies of water (Massacci et al., 2008). In all agricultural regions, yields of rain-fed crops are periodically reduced by drought (Kramer, 1983), and the severity of the problem m...
متن کاملWater-Deficit Inducible Expression of a Cytokinin Biosynthetic Gene IPT Improves Drought Tolerance in Cotton
Water-deficit stress is a major environmental factor that limits agricultural productivity worldwide. Recent episodes of extreme drought have severely affected cotton production in the Southwestern USA. There is a pressing need to develop cotton varieties with improved tolerance to water-deficit stress for sustainable production in water-limited regions. One approach to engineer drought toleran...
متن کاملWater deficit and ethylene evolution by young cotton bolls.
Ethylene evolution and abscission of young cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) bolls were shown, in earlier papers, to increase when plants were subjected to conditions that decreased photosynthesis and sugar content of bolls (dim light, long warm nights). Moisture stress also increased ethylene evolution by young bolls, but it did not decrease their concentrations of fructose, glucose, or sucrose. ...
متن کاملGenetic variability of NaCl tolerance in tomato.
Cultivation of crops in soils with high salt (NaCl) content can affect plant development. We examined the morphological and physiological mechanisms of salt tolerance in tomato. The responses of 72 accessions of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) to salinity were compared by measuring shoot and root lengths, and fresh shoot and root weights relative to those of controls (plants grown in normal salt ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Drought Tolerance in Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) Under Water Deficit Stress Conditions
Drought is a threaded factor in the world production and application of breeding methods could improve the tolerant and adapted cultivators under drought stress condition. In order to evaluate and determine the stress tolerance indices and identifion of tolerant genotypes to drought stress, 15 safflower genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in tw...
