abstract in order to evaluate crop water stress index (cwsi) and canopy temperature of wheat cultivars under terminal drought stress, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station of shiraz university, shiraz, during 2009 growing season. five wheat cultivars including shiraz, bahar, pishtaz, sistan and yavaros and four levels of water regime including well watering [irr...

To investigate effects of putrescine (Put) and humic acid (HA) on fruit yield and physiological attributes of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L. 'Kano') under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Plants were exposed to three different irrigation regimes (33%, 66% and 100% ETc) and were treated with...

Late-Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins accumulate to high levels during the last stages of seed development, when desiccation tolerance is acquired, and in vegetative and reproductive tissues under water deficit, leading to the hypothesis that these proteins play a role in the adaptation of plants to this stress condition. In this work, we obtained the accumulation patterns of the Arabidops...

in order to evaluate arbuscular mycorrhiza (glomuss mossea) and mycorrhiza-like (piriformospora indica) effects on yield, yield components and some morphological (cv. azar 2) traits of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) under water deficit stress, a pot experiment was conducted as factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications. treatments were drought stress at thre...

water deficit is a major factor influencing yield of canola (brassica napus l.) seed yield and oil content. a field experiment was conducted during 2010 growing season in the agriculture research station of torogh, mashhad, iran to evaluate responses of canola cultivars to limited water. experimental design was rcbd pattern with three replications. treatments were two irrigation regimes (based ...

using plant probiotic bacteria, which can induce systemic tolerance in plants, is one of the most important strategy to reduce the damage of drought stress in plants. in this study the effect of four fluorescent strains (t17-4, vupf5, 428, cha0) was investigated on resistance of two pistachio cultivars (badami-rize-zarand and sarakhs) against the drought stress. a completely randomized design w...

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of N nutrition and water stress on stomatal behavior and CO(2) exchange rate in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv Olaf). Wheat plants were grown hydroponically with high (100 milligrams per liter) and low (10 milligrams per liter) N. When plants were 38 days old, a 24-day water stress cycle was begun. A gradual increase in nutrient solution osmo...

Background: Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) (Tospovirus genus, Bunyaviridae family) infects the major crops of solanaceae, leguminosae and cucurbitaceae in India. Temperature is an important factor which influences the plant growth and development under diseased conditions.Objective: In the present study, we evaluated the effect of four different temp...

Mutualistic bacteria can alter plant phenotypes and confer new abilities to plants. Some plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are known to improve both plant growth and tolerance to multiple stresses, including drought, but reports on their effects on plant survival under severe water deficits are scarce. We investigated the effect of Phyllobacterium brassicacearum STM196 strain, a PGPR ...
