Agricultural greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced by the cultivation of cultivars with lower carbon footprint. Considering hypothesis that there are differences in soil respiration, due to physiological and morphological characteristics wheat barley, aim this study is an assessment respiration rates microclimate under different cover (bare soil, wheat, barley) cultivar (four barley four whea...

abstract common root rot induced by bipolaris sorokiniana, is one of the most important diseases of wheat. chemical control of this disease is difficult because of it is a soil-born pathogen, so that, application of other methods is useful to reduce disease level especially resistance cultivars. in this research, were examined reaction of some wheat cultivars and lines against common root rot i...

Environmental stress, especially drought stress, can play an important role in the reduction of the plant growth stage, specifically duringgermination in arid and semi arid regions in Iran.. In order to study the effects of drought stress on germination indices in wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in factorial form, using a completely randomized design of four replications. In this e...

Drought is a wide-spread problem seriously influencing durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) production and quality, but development of resistant cultivars is hampered by the lack of effective selection criteria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of several selection indices to identify drought resistance cultivars under a variety of environmental conditions. Twenty four duru...

The regulation of the majority of cold-regulated genes in plants is mediated by CBF (C-repeat binding factors) transcription factor family. Natural differences in frost tolerance (FT) of wheat have been mapped to the Fr-2 (Frost Resistance-2) locus on chromosome group 5 and are associated with variation in threshold induction temperatures and/or transcript levels of CBF genes. This study used r...

The accurate identification of alleles for high-molecular weight glutenins (HMW-GS) is critical for wheat breeding programs targeting end-use quality. RP-HPLC methods were optimized for separation of HMW-GS, resulting in enhanced resolution of 1By and 1Dx subunits. Statistically significant differences in retention times (RTs) for subunits corresponding to HMW-GS alleles were determined using 1...

Salinity is the most important abiotic stresses adversely affect the quality and quantity of crops, in which 20% of the world's irrigated agricultural lands are affected by salinity. Wheat is an oldest and the first crop used for bread making for human nutrition. To investigate the response of wheat root to NaCl stress, a susceptible, Arta, and resistance, Bam, wheat varieties were grown under ...
