the complexity of the genetic control of drought tolerance makes inevitable using of molecular methods with biometric approaches to its improvement in plants. present study was conducted by 121 advanced lines and varieties of soybean under two moisture levels, normal and drought stress with 21 microsatellite markers linked to drought tolerance in two regions, namely, rasht and gonbad-kavous. gr...

BACKGROUND Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is involved in many neurological and inflammatory responses. Peripheral inflammatory responses can induce central sensitization and trigger inflammatory pain. However, there is little research on the relationship between ER stress and inflammatory pain. In this study, we examined whether the ER stress response is involved in peripheral inflammatory p...

drought stress is one of the most important dangers for increasing the yield and good production of crops in iran and the world. to evaluate the genetic diversity of rapeseed genotypes, identifying the drought resistance indices and drought tolerant genotypes, 16 genotypes were tested in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications and two different water regimes (irrigated...

A strain of T. chilonis, an egg parasitoid of lepidopteran pests tolerant to the most commonly used cyclodiene insecticide--endosulfan was developed in the laboratory. Tolerance to endosulfan was induced by exposing adult parasitoids sequentially from a sub-lethal concentration (0.004%) to the field recommended concentration (0.09%). The strain acquired tolerance to the insecticide after 341 ge...

introduction of a suitable vetch as winter crop in cold drylands of iran is highly important. line vp-2670 with origin of turkey was selected from icarda nursery during 2002 and was evaluated along with other selected lines and local checks over nine years in different stations and on-farm conditions. vp-2670 with mean 3500 kgha-1 dry biomass over environments, high stability and protein conten...

in order to increase drought tolerance in bread wheat, an appropriate breeding program based on inheritance of drought tolerance is recommended. in the present study, nine bread wheat cultivars and their f2 progenies were evaluated in a randomized complete block design under normal and drought stress conditions. nine sensitivity/tolerance indices were calculated for studied genotypes and stress...
