Breeding of rice for drought tolerance requires proper evaluation and analysis of genetic diversity in breeding populations related to drought tolerance. In order to identify indices for tolerant and sensitive rice genotypes to drought stress, an experiment with 59 genotypes of rice was conducted based of a complete block design with three replications in non-stressed (flooding) and stressed co...

Drought is an extended period of low precipitation which resulted in injuries to consumers of water and reducing their performance, especially in agriculture. Different indices have already been proposed for evaluating drought, based on one of the varieties of meteorological, hydrological and agricultural droughts, but no indices has been identified yet, encompassing all factors. This study has...

In order to evaluate grain yield potential and study dry matter remobilization to seed, 8 commercial bread wheat cultivars were examined in two separate experiments, using randomized complete block design with 4 replications in 2003. There were significant differences for most traits in normal and drought conditions. Sarday variety had the least grain yield in the two environments. There was c...

  This study was conducted at Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology to evaluate drought tolerance potential of 23 F2:4 wheat lines derived from the cross of Virmarin (susceptible line) and Sardari (tolerant line). A randomized complete block design with three replications was used in each irrigation treatment (i.e. irrigation after 70±3 and 120±3 mm evaporation from class A pan for ...

In order to evaluate drought tolerance indices in chickpea, determination of the best indicator of drought tolerance and identifying tolerant cultivars in water limited condition, a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications and 20 chickpea genotypes was used under irrigation and rainfed conditions at research farm of College of Agriculture, Razi University, Kermanshah.
