drought stress as the most important abiotic stress plays a significant role in reduction of crops yield. this study was conducted at six agricultural experimental stations (karadj, ardebil, arak, mashhad, jolgerokh and miandoab) during 2006-08 cropping seasons. experiments were carried out under normal irrigation and post-anthesis drought stress conditions using 18 wheat genotypes. experimenta...

At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...

to evaluate the effects of accelerated aging and cold stress on seed germination and seedling growth indices in five oilseed rape cultivars (hyola330, hyola401, hyola420, syn3 and pr401/15e), an experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design of three replications. results indicated that the cultivars were significantly different in germination percentage, seed vigour, germination ...

one of the possible ways to ensure future food needs of an increasing world population involves the better water use through the development of crop varieties which need less water and are more tolerant to drought. in order to study the response of twenty landraces of bread wheat to drought stress, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications under t...

to evaluate the effects of water deficit stress in barley germplasm collection of national gene bank ofiran, 25 genotypes collected from arid and semi arid provinces of iran and 3 sample cultivars werestudied in two environments including: non-stressed and water deficit stress. agronomical, phenologicaland morphological traits were measured. stress indices were calculated to determine tolerant ...

This paper presents a case study to determine the efficiency of the currently used heat stress indices in correlation with wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT) as a permissible index at a foundry plant and to evaluate the extent of the physiological responses such as heart rate and body temperature in correlation with heat stress indices. The field consisted of a foundry plant where a shift w...

in order to quantify of schooling behavioral responses of rosy barb (puntius barbus) subjected to acute decreasing temperature stress monitored by computer- vision system. four aquaria as duplicate with a density of 30 fish per unit were used for rearing of fish in normal and stress conditions. some geometric schooling parameters such as average location of center gravity school and distance of...

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of drought stress and nitrogen fertilizer on growth of strawberry plants, present study was conducted in the mazandaran province in 2010. experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stress treatments (30, 50 and 70% maximum allowable depletion of moistur (mad)) and nitrogen...
