in order to study drought tolerance indices and to introduce tolerant maize hybrids in drought conditions, an experiment was conducted at the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, in 2009. the experiment was carried out using split-plot in a randomized complete block design (crbd) with three replications. the main plots consisted of three levels of irrigation regimes (irri...

abstract in order to genetic investigation of drought resistance indices, on 25 maize inbred lines, an experiment was conducted under three irrigation regimes; normal irrigation, limited vegetative irrigation and limited reproductive irrigation. in the limited vegetative irrigation, tol (stress tolerance) index had the highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation (83.83% and 68.04%...

drought is the most significant constraint for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to assess drought tolerance in fifteen rapeseed (brassica napus) cultivars using yield-based drought tolerance indices, two experiments were conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran during 2009-2010 growing season. the cultivars were arranged...

indian mustard is one of the most drought tolerant crops within brassica genus which could be used in semi dry areas of iran. 20 cultivars and lines of indian mustard were studied as complete blocks design with three replications in two different humidity regimes in oroumieh research station during 2013-2014 growing season. analysis of variance showed that the most studied agronomic characteris...

the complexity of the genetic control of drought tolerance makes inevitable using of molecular methods with biometric approaches to its improvement in plants. present study was conducted by 121 advanced lines and varieties of soybean under two moisture levels, normal and drought stress with 21 microsatellite markers linked to drought tolerance in two regions, namely, rasht and gonbad-kavous. gr...
