in order to increase drought tolerance in bread wheat, an appropriate breeding program based on inheritance of drought tolerance is recommended. in the present study, nine bread wheat cultivars and their f2 progenies were evaluated in a randomized complete block design under normal and drought stress conditions. nine sensitivity/tolerance indices were calculated for studied genotypes and stress...

in this study, the effect of drought stress on morphological and physiological characteristics of wheatgrass and tall fescue was investigated in a factorial-split plot in time arrangement based on a completely randomized design with three replications. after turf establishment, half pots were exposed to drought stress and the half other were completely irrigated. based on the results tall fescu...

in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and planting method on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of two chickpea cultivars (cicer arietinum l.) an experiment was conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university using a split factorial based on randomized complete block design in four replications. the main factor was stopping irrigation ...

in order to study of drought tolerance in advanced grain sorghum lines, an experiment was conducted in a split-plot on randomized complete block design with three replications in experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran during 2009-2010. irrigation regimes were assigned to main plots at three levels including normal irrigation (i1=60mm), moderate stress (i2=120mm)...

Drought stress is one of the most important factors limiting plant growth all around the world. Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) can significantly reduce drought stress effects on plants growth. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of PGPR (inoculation by Azospirillum lipoferum, Azotobacter chroococcum, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Bacillus cereus) on seed germination, se...

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of paclobutrazol as an anti-gibberellin on some morpho-physiological characteristics of Petunia × grandiflora ‘Bravo Blue’, and determine the optimum concentration of paclobutrazol for drought resistance in this plant. The experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse. T...

cyphomandra betacea (cav.) is a native species from south america that is cultivated because its fruits have a high content of vitamins. in colombia, it is common to find periods of drought between the rainy seasons or during enso events such as el niño. an adequate nutritional status of k+ in plants helps to increase the chance of tolerating the negative effects of drought stress. regarding th...
