Water deficit stress is the main limiting factor of crop growth and yield in arid and semi-arid environments. Hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) is one of the most important medicinal plants that have numerous medical uses. In order to study the effect of drought stress on physiological and morphological traits of Hyssop, an experiment based on randomized completely design was conducted with four...

In order to evaluate water stress tolerance-related traits and their relationships in barley genotypes, as well as identification of drought tolerant genotypes, a field experiment was carried out during 2012-13 and 2013-14 growing seasons in College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Iran. Seventy four foreign barley genotypes and two Iranian varieties (Reyhan and Nosrat) were evaluated under n...

In order to study the effect of terminal drought stress on yield and yield components and some physiological traits of wheat genotypes, a field experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Agricultural College of Shiraz University during 2010-11 growing season in a split plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Main plots were assigned to irrigatio...

Among the crops, cereals have been special important and triticale is the most successful man made cereal. In present research, water deficit stress effects on 19 triticale genotypes (X Triticosecale wittmack) and two wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum), Shiraz (sensitive to water deficit stress) and Kavir (tolerant to water deficit stress) were tested. Therefore, two separate field experiments...

Water deficit is a common and major constrain for agricultural production in arid and semi-arid parts of the world like Iran, to the extent that it might threaten the nation’s food security in years to come. Seed germination is a crucial growth stage that is often affected by environmental stresses, including drought. This study investigated the effects of four levels of water potential (i.e. 0...
