salicylic acid (sa) is part of a signaling pathway that is induced by a number of biotic and abiotic stresses. it has been recognized as an endogenous regulatory signal in plants. in order to study the effect of different concentrations of sa on germination, growth and some physiological parameters in chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) two genotypes (mcc414, mcc361) under drought stress conditions, ...

Selection for drought tolerance typically involves evaluating genotypes for either high yield potential or stable performance under drought stress. In order to select drought tolerant land races of bread wheat an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications under two different rainfed and irrigated conditions during the growing season 2010-2011. ...

in order to investigate the effects of weeds interference on yield and yield components of different genotypes of common bean, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications at agricultural research station of tabriz university, in 2011. the main plots were eight genotypes of different types of common bean including red bean, (cv. gho...

Salicylic acid (SA) is an endogenous plant growth regulator of phenolic nature that plays a key role in the regulation of plant growth, development, interaction with other organisms and in the responses to environmental stresses such as drought. An experiment was therefore, conducted to evaluation the influence of exogenous SA application on some traits of common bean under water stress conditi...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume (Broughton et al. 2003); however, drought stress (DS) results in significant seed yield reductions in 60 % of global bean production areas (White and Singh 1991). Increasing competition for production area has resulted in a move of bean acreage to more marginal zones often associated with increased abiotic stress (Porch et al...

ABSTRACT Among the efficient strategies to manage plant parasitic nematodes, use of resistant cultivars stands out for being frequently easiest and least expensive approach that can be adopted by farmers. However, common bean, in Brazil, few sources resistance have been identified so far. This study aimed assess reaction 81 bean genotypes most abundant harmful nematode species Brazilian crop fi...
