Abstract: Enhanced leaf proline, soluble sugar and soluble protein contents with sever salinity stress can improve stomatal conductance and Relative water content. This can inhibit dry matter depletion due to salinity stress, so can be used for screening of safflower cultivars under salinity stress. To evaluate the changes in leaf proline, soluble sugars, glycinebetaine and protein conte...

In a breeding program, it is important to find out information about the genes action, because knowledge in this field could help the researchers in their crossing programs and realizing effective selection. In this study, breeding values of different agronomic traits in oriental tobacco were predicted using the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) procedure. For this purpose, 89 tobacco geno...

The objective of this experiment was to analyze genotype × environment (GE) interaction for grain yield of 20 durum wheat genotypes to identify the yield stability and adaptability of genotypes using GGE biplot method as well as some univariate stability statistics. The genotypes were evaluated in three rainfed stations of Sararood (Kermanshah), Maragheh and Shirvan, Iran under both rainfed and...

Salinity is a complex phenomenon that involves not just an osmotic effect, but also toxic ion effects and nutritional imbalance. In order to evaluate the effects of severity and duration of sodium chloride stress on some biochemical and photosynthesis parameters of tobacco a factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized completely block design with three replication with using a hydropo...

Drought is one of the major environmental stresses that adversely affect crop growth and productivity worldwide. For evaluation of drought stress on grain yield, yield components and drought tolerance indices, 20 genotype of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) was studied in an experiment based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in two different conditions (stress and non-s...

Drought stress is one of the major limiting factors of crop yield. A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of drought stress on yield and yield components of nine bread wheat and one durum wheat genotypes during 2003-2004 growing season. The experiment was designed as two separate randomized complete blocks design with three replicates under well-watered and unwatered conditions...
