Breeding and production of drought tolerant cultivars for arid and semi-arid area is very important. The present experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of drought stress on seed yield and yield components of oilseed rape as well as identification of high yielding and drought stress tolerant genotypes. Eighteen new winter oilseed rape lines and commercial cultivars were evaluated und...

Drought is one of the major environmental stresses that adversely affect crop growth and productivity worldwide. For evaluation of drought stress on grain yield, yield components and drought tolerance indices, 20 genotype of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) was studied in an experiment based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in two different conditions (stress and non-s...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) as one of the oilseed crops has recently received lots of attention due to its suitable oil quality and high oil percentage. To evaluate the effect of water deficit stress on canola genotypes with regard to yield, drought tolerance quantitative indices and identify drought tolerant genotypes, an experiment was conducted in research farm of seed and plant improvement I...

Water shortage seriously threatens crop growth and development especially in semi-arid areas. Association of plants with beneficial soil microorganisms is a strategy for plant adaptation to environmental stresses. In this study, the effect of seed inoculation of rapeseed genotypes with mycorrhiza-like fungus (Piriformospora indica) and growth-promoting bacterium (Arthrobacter siccitolerans) was...

Drought stress is one of the major limiting factors of crop yield. A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of drought stress on yield and yield components of nine bread wheat and one durum wheat genotypes during 2003-2004 growing season. The experiment was designed as two separate randomized complete blocks design with three replicates under well-watered and unwatered conditions...

deposite the different criticisms on contrastive analysis it has been proved that the results of it(when processed)can be usuful in a tefl environment,specially at the level of phonology.this study is an attempt to compare and contrast the sound systems of kurdish and english for pedagogical aims. the consonants,vowels,stress and intonation of the twolanguages are described by the same model-ta...

In order to determination the effect of amount, efficiency and contribution of dry matter translated from different aerial organs, on grain yield in advanced wheat genotypes under normal and water stress after anthesis, an experiment carried out at agricultural and natural resources research station of Ardabil in 2008-2009. Eight advanced winter and facultative wheat genotypes compare with Shah...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Various environmental stresses, especially water deficit stress have several and major effects on maize growth and production. Drought is one of the abiotic stresses that due to the great variety of rainfall conditions, it is known from Iran as the most important factor limiting the growth and production of crops. Therefore, the effect of water def...
