Physiological basis of genetic variability in drought response and its association with yieldand related indices is not clear in Brassica. In this study 36 accessions belonged to sevenspecies of Brassica were evaluated under normal, moderate and severe stress environments.Physiological traits along with seed yield, seed yield components, oil content and two selectionindices (stress tolerance in...

in this research, catalase activity and leaf chlorophyll stability of satsuma mandarin on some citrus rootstocks under waterlogging condition were studied. experiment was conducted as factorial with randomized complete blocks and 6 replications. the first factor, include 7 soils from east mazandaran and the second factor included 7 different citrus rootstocks: 1. sour orange, 2. swingle citrome...

to improve bread wheat salt tolerance, new genetic sources of salt tolerance are indispensable, and this requires a screening of wheat germplasm. in order to evaluate bread wheat germplasm, 34 accessions including; hexaploid wheats (aabbdd), tetraploid (aabb) and wild relative diploids (dd and aa genome) collected from different regions of iran were evaluated under normal vs. salinity stress (n...

one of the most effective ways to deal with drought stress and increase water use efficiency is the development of drought-tolerant varieties which display less reduction in yield per unit water reduction. therefore, the breeding of diploid pollinators was considered as an essential measure for producing drought-tolerant hybrids. in this study, from 4 diploid pollinator populations, 45 half-sib...

the development of seminal and lateral root system plays a major role in plant access to water and nutrients under abiotic stress, especially salinity. in order to understand the relation between root growth responsesand shoot physiological indices oftwo bread wheat cultivars contrasting in salt tolerance (kavir and shiraz), a greenhouse experiment was conducted with two salinity levels (0 and ...

salinity and drought are two major abiotic stresses that affect rice (oryza sativa l.) production in worldwide. salt and drought tolerance and high seedling vigor of rice is one of the important traits in the establishment of seedling in direct planting system and saline and drought environments. in this research, the mapping population of f2:4 families derived from the cross between local vari...

drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...
