Sugarcane production is strongly influenced by drought, which is a limiting factor for agricultural productivity in the world. In this study, the gene expression profiles obtained by de novo assembly of the leaf transcriptome of two sugarcane cultivars that differ in their physiological response to water deficit were evaluated by the RNA-Seq method: drought-tolerant cultivar (SP81-3250) and dro...

Objective: Drought stress is most important factor which reduce root and shoot growth in crops. This study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and Zn fertilizer on root traits of four cultivars of chickpea. Methods: Experiment was laid out in a split plot-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. Drought stress treatment stand in main...

four rapeseed cultivars (hayola 401, hayola 308, rgs and option) were evaluated for some physiological traits under stress (50 % field capacity (fc) and non-stress (irrigated) conditions. the factorial set of treatments was arranged within a randomized complete block design with three replications. the collected data were analyzed using path and factor analyses. these is results showed that bas...

This experiment was carried out in Islamic Azad university (Shoushtar Branch) for investigate effect of salt stress on seedling growth of soybean cultivars. The soybean cultivars (Hill, Klark and Williams) obtained from Iran seed and plant institute, Karaj, Iran. The experimental design was 2 factorial, arranged in completely randomized design with 4 replication. First factor was soybean cultiv...

A sand culture experiment was conducted to answer the question whether or not exogenous KNO(3) can alleviate adverse effects of salt stress in winter wheat by monitoring plant growth, K(+)/Na(+) accumulation and the activity of some antioxidant enzymes. Seeds of two wheat cultivars (CVs), DK961 (salt-tolerant) and JN17 (salt-sensitive), were planted in sandboxes and controls germinated and rais...

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...
