Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is an important food crop for people in semi-arid Africa. The affected by post-flowering drought; therefore, the study was conducted to screen traits contributing drought tolerance using BC2F4 sorghum genotypes stressed and unstressed water conditions a split-plot design. Water stress (0 mm/day) applied at plant maturity water-stressed treatment. genotype S...

The main objective of this research was to evaluate fifteen durum wheat (Triticum durum) genotypes selected from joint project of Iran/ICARDA for drought tolerance using several indices. The trials were conducted under moderate levels of drought stress for three cropping seasons (2004-2006) in four locations in the highlands western of Iran. The combined ANOVA for grain yield over years and loc...

to study the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of some important agronomic traits associated with yield in white beans, 30 genotypes of white bean were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with four replications in two environments under water stress and non stress conditions. analysis of variance for most of the traits showed significant differences among genotypes, indicating t...

Selecting and cultivating the crops/varieties that can tolerate water salinity is potentially animportant strategy to save fresh water resources and maximize the crop yield in salt affected areas.To evaluate the responses of 36 sorghum lines and cultivars to salinity stress, two fieldexperiments were conducted in non-stress (EC=2 dS/m) and salinity stress conditions (EC=12dS/m) using randomized...

Amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor), an underutilized climate smart crop, is highly nutritious and possesses diverse drought tolerance traits, making it ideal crop to thrive in a rapidly changing climate. Despite considerable studies on the growth physiology of plants subjected stress, precise trait phenotyping strategy for vegetable amaranth still not well documented. In this study, two screening t...

Globally, increasing water and energy demand is expected to reach 6.9 trillion cubic meters by 2030, exceeding 40% of the available supplies. Climate change rising temperatures caused shortages due lesser irregular rainfalls, leading lower production crops. The research assess drought tolerance Pima cotton (Gossypium barbadense. L) lines in Uzbekistan revealed line, T-450 as most promising for ...

An increased awareness of environmental protection and sustainable production raise the necessity incorporating selection low nitrogen-tolerant winter wheat cultivars for high yield quality in breeding process. This can be assisted by using stress screening indices. Our study aimed to evaluate compare a number indices determine select most nitrogen deficiency-tolerant further breeding. The expe...

in order to evaluate drought tolerance of cultivars and advanced grain sorghum lines, an experiment was conducted as split-plot on randomized complete blocks design with three replications at experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj in 2009. three levels of irrigation regimes including normal irrigation (ir0=60 mm), moderate stress (ir2=120 mm) and sever stress (ir3=180...
