there are about two of millions rainfed fig trees in estahban. this main location of iran rainfed production is faced with death and destruction as a result of recent droughts and since rain is the only source of water supplied to the trees in rain-fed conditions. the effects of different levels of water stress on the plants stomata and guard cell response were investigated throughout this work...

ABSTRACT- To investigate the effect of draught stress on water relations, stomatal density, chlorophyll content and yield of rapeseed, an experiment was done with four levels of drought stress including L1 (Field Capacity, FC), L2 (70% Available Water Content, AWC), L3 (50% AWC), and L4 (30% AWC), within three growth stages- including stem elongation (T1), onset of flowering (T2) and silique fo...

abstract this research was conducted in toroq experimental field station, mashhad, iran, for two successive cropping seasons (2000-2002), using split plot experimental design based on complete randomized blocks with three replications. moisture stress treatments (at seven levels) were assigned to main plots, including: d1 ( full irrigation), d2 (no irrigation from one-leaf to double ridge) stag...

the effects of water deficit on grain yield, yield components and the physiological char-acteristics of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) varieties were studied in a split plot design dur-ing the 1999-2000 growing season in karaj, iran. five irrigation levels [0, 25, 50, 75, and 100% crop water requirements (cwr)] and six barley varieties karoon kavir , rei-hani(drought tolerant), torkman , c-74-9 (i...

Abstract To study the effect of water stress in rapeseed cultivars at the seedling stage, 10 rapeseed cultivars were evaluated at three irrigation levels [normal irrigation (control) and irrigation after depletion of 60 and 85% of available soil water]. Analysis of variance showed considerable variation among cultivars. Water stress reduced all of the studied morphological characteristics, espe...

in order to study of sodium nitroprusside(snp) application effect on growth indices and water use efficiency of kidney beans cultivars(akhtar and derakhshan) under water deficit stress, an experiment was conducted in split factorial based in randomized complete block design with three replications in bu-ali sina university research field at 2012. water stress treatments included vegetative stre...
