Drought induced stress is one of the most significant environmental challenges. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of drought stress on crop yield and antioxidant systems during the vegetative period of wheat. The study was carried out in a greenhouse using factorial experiment based on complete randomized block design (RCBD) in three replications in Razi University in Iran from 20...

The present study was designed to clarify the effects of salinity and water intercross stresses on the growth and physiobiochemical characteristics of Tamarix chinensis seedlings by pots culture under the artificial simulated conditions. The growth, activities of SOD, POD, and contents of MDA and osmotic adjusting substances of three years old seedlings of T. chinensis were studied under differ...

literatures have reported that a lot of drought related genes were cloned and individual gene showed positive effects under controlled stress experiments, but were not much effective in the field. although, the progresses by conventional breeding approaches were achievable as some drought varieties have been released to the farmers in the recent years but this is not adequate to cope up with th...

Differences in drought stress tolerance within diverse rice genotypes have been attributed to genetic diversity and epigenetic alterations. DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification that influences diverse biological processes, but its effects on rice drought stress tolerance are poorly understood. In this study, methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing and an Affymetrix Gene...

in order to evaluate of physiological traits, related to drought tolerance, an experiment was carried out in controlled condition. the experiment was conducted to assess the effect of drought stress on photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and photosynthetic pigments in two tolerant genotypes (mcc392 & mcc877) and two susceptible genotypes (mcc68 & mcc448) were grown in drought stress (25% f...

kentucky bluegrass (poa pratensis l.) is one of the most widely used turfgrasses for home lawns, golf courses, parks, and athletic fields in temperate climates. oxidative stress caused by drought stress is a major limiting factor for grass cultivation in arid and semi-arid regions. the objective of this study was to investigate whether prohexadione-calcium (pro-ca) may play a role in promoting ...

continuous desertification of arable lands mandates use of low quality/ saline water for irrigation, especially in regions experiencing water shortage. using low quality/ saline water for irrigation imposes more stress on plants that are already under stress in these regions. thus, a logical solution will be to find a salt/ drought-tolerant plant species that will survive/sustain under such str...
