This study was conducted to determine drought tolerance genotypes with superiority in different stressed environments. To screening quantitative indices of drought tolerance, genotypes of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were tested in a complete randomized block design with three replications under two different water regimes (irrigated and rainfed). Significant positive correlatio...

BACKGROUND Endothelial dysfunction, largely dependent on impaired nitric oxide bioavailability, has been reportedly associated with incident type 2 diabetes. Our aim was to test the hypothesis that asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide formation, might be linked to future deterioration in glucose tolerance in stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS ...

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)...

Development of drought-tolerant cultivars is hampered by a lack of effective selectioncriteria. In this research, response of 36 genotypes of rapeseed from seven species of Brassicaincluding B. napus, B. rapa, B. juncea, B. carinata, B. oleracea, B. nigra and B. fruticulosa wasassessed under three moisture levels (no stress, mild stress and intense stress) in the field during2011-2012. Five dro...

the first step in identification of genes which control traits in stress and no stress conditions is localization of chromosomal related to traits. in order to locate the genes controlling drought resistance and screening quantitative indices of drought resistance in wheat, substitution line series of hope into the genetic background of chinese spring (cs) were tested in a randomized complete b...

in order to evaluate salinity tolerance in 20 sugar bee genotypes, an experiment was conducted in two fields with salinity (ec= 12 ds/m, ph= 7.6) and non-salinity stress, in the form of rcbd at miandoab agricultural research station. different morphological and physiological traits such as root yield, sugar percentage, white sugar percentage, molasses, n, na, k, syrup purity and green cover per...

in order to investigate the indices of drought tolerance, correlation coefficient and path analysis at deficit irrigation and nitrogen experiment, this experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications during 2000-2003 for wheat at maragheh agricultural research station of dari. the treatments were included four levels of defici...

The objective of present study was to evaluate the response of the mung bean seeds of ‘Sonali B1’ variety primed with chitosan in four different concentrations (0, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.5%) under salinity stress of five different concentrations (i.e., 0, 4, 6, 8 and 12 dS*mm) and halotolerance pattern by applying Celite as matrix at three different moisture levels (5%, 10% and 20%). Improved germina...
