infection process including spore germination, penetration and intercellular development of cercospora beticola in the mesophyll of immature and mature leaves of two resistant  (fd0018 and hm1836) and a susceptible genotypes (236) of sugar beet were studied, in order to determine the relative importance of defense phenomena in pre and post-penetration stage of infection to the pathogen in sugar...

drought stress is a major factor limiting crop production. investigation of physiological characteristics related to drought tolerance and crop production may be useful in selecting drought tolerant cultivars as well as in improving crop yield. two drought tolerant (azar2 & back cross roshan) and two drought susceptible (marvdast & shiraz) cultivars were investigated in both greenhouse and fiel...
