a greenhouse experiment was conducted during the growing seasons (2008/2009 and 2009/2010) to investigate the effects of water quality and soil amendments, irrigation methods and rates on tomato (solanum lycopersicon l. cv. red gold) yield and water use efficiency (wue). irrigation management treatments were fresh (0.86 ds m-1) and saline waters (3.6 ds m-1), surface and subsurface irrigation m...

Winter wheat production is threatened by drought stress under rainfed conditions; thus, screening high- and stable-yielding varieties to ensure the sustainable development of food security in Huang-Huai-Hai Plain (HHHP) vital. In this research, four-year field experiments with twelve winter were conducted during wheat-growing seasons between 2016 2020 order to: (1) screen conditions, (2) invest...

Different physiological traits have been proposed as key traits associated with yield potential as well as performance under water stress. The aim of this paper is to examine the genotypic variability of leaf chlorophyll, stem water-soluble carbohydrate content and carbon isotope discrimination (Δ(13)C), and their relationship with grain yield (GY) and other agronomical traits, under contrastin...

the present research was conducted to study the effect of irrigation treatments on growth indices, yield, and water use efficiency of long green pepper (capsicum annuum l.) at the research greenhouse of shahrekord university. this experiment was done in a clay-loam soil using randomized design with four treatments i.e. 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100 percent of water requirement and three replications, ...

For commercial production of wheat and barley, grain yield (GY), grain protein concentration (GPC) and protein composition are considered important. Genetic (G) and environmental (E) factors are important constraints affecting GPC and protein composition in wheat and barley. This thesis examined the options to govern GPC and protein composition in wheat and barley grain by using G and E factors...

Wheat yield and grain nitrogen concentration (GNC; mg N/g grain) are frequently negatively correlated. In most growing conditions, this is mainly due to a feedback process between GNC and the number of grains/m2. In Mediterranean conditions, breeders may have produced cultivars with conservative grain set. The present study aimed at clarifying the main physiological determinants of grain nitrog...

Grain development in cereals depends on synthesis and remobilisation compounds such as water-soluble carbohydrates (WSCs), amino acids (AAs), minerals environmental conditions during pre- post-anthesis. This study analyses the impact of water stress metabolite (WSCs, AAs nitrogen) dynamics between source (leaves stems) sink (grain) organs triticale, bread wheat, durum wheat barley. Plants were ...
