Abstract:

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress is the most prevalent and limiting factor in the growth and productivity of crop plants. According to the challenge of deficiency in precipitation or consecutive droughts in recent years in Iran and as a result of a shortage of irrigation water in wheat production, knowledge of the relationship between grain quality and grain yield under drought stress can be particularly important to identify lines with drought tolerance. The present study, hence, evaluated the effects of drought stress on the grain quality of 104 F5 lines derived from a cross between Barat × Nogal in wheat. Material and Methods: The effects of drought stress on grain-quality-related traits of wheat were investigated using 104 F5 lines under normal and drought conditions. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used in each environment in the 2020-2021 cropping season. Grain yield, protein yield, grain hardness, Zeleny sedimentation volume, protein content, bread volume, gluten content, and gluten index were evaluated. Results: Analysis of variance showed that there was significant genetic variation in the lines for all traits in both environmental conditions. Stress and stress × line interactions were also significant for all of the studied traits. Mean comparison of lines showed that the quality in bread wheat was improved under drought stress conditions due to increment in protein content and grain hardness. The highest grain protein content was found in lines 10, 52, 54, 68, and 71 with 12.96% under normal conditions, while it was found in lines 10, 28, 32, 61, and 93 with 13.94% under drought-stress conditions. Although the growth and consequently grain yield were limited under drought stress conditions, increased concentrations of grain‐derived ingredients including protein content, gluten content, gluten index, and Zeleny volume were noted. On the other hand, grain protein showed a significant and positive correlation with the Zeleny volume and water absorption in both environmental conditions. Conclusion: From the work carried out it can be concluded that firstly, selection of wheat lines in respect to grain quality must be undertaken separately for each of the normal and stressed environments, and secondly that the grain quality of wheat lines under drought stress conditions was significantly better than that of normal field conditions.

Evaluation of Grain Yield and Agronomic Traits of Foreign Sesame (Sesamum Indicum. L) Genotypes under Drought Stress Conditions

Despite the high potential of sesame production in the country, its yield and water use efficiency is low. Therefore, identifying genotypes with high grain yield, especially under drought stress conditions, is essential for developing this crop. For this purpose, field experiments were conducted to investigate the qualitative and quantitative response of 21 sesame genotypes to drought stress co...

Genetic analysis of agronomic and morphological traits of durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. spp. durum (Desf.)] using generations mean analysis under non-stress and terminal drought stress conditions

Breeders often use generation means analysis to obtain information about inheritance, gene action, and to determine effective breeding methods to improve important agronomic traits, especially under drought stress conditions. To investigate the genetic parameters of agronomic and morphological traits in durum wheat, a field experiment was carried out using F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 generations obtain...
