Abstract Food security is a key target in the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and also one of biggest challenges for China, largest developing country population world. Massive attention has been directed to future impacts hydrometeorological extremes on crop yield. However, knowledge gaps still stand concerning effectiveness irrigation, as water consumption sector, agricultural product...

In August 1990, a 2-ha plantation was established in an area where rainfall (about 515 mm year(-1)) was insufficient to meet evaporative demand. On nine occasions between September 1991 and April 1993, pressure-volume curves were constructed for irrigated and rainfed Eucalyptus globulus ssp. globulus Labill. and E. nitens (Deane and Maiden) Maiden trees. During the experiment, rainfed trees exp...

Objective: In order to study genetic variation and effect of drought stress on grain yield and some morphological traits in chickpea, an experiment was conducted on 64 genotypes during 2013-2014 cropping season at deputy of Kermanshah Sararood Dry Land Agricultural Research Institute, located on the western part of Iran. Methods: The experimental design was a randomized lattice design with tow ...

Recent drought and population growth are planting unprecedented demand for the use of available limited water resources. Irrigated agriculture is one of the major consumers of fresh water. Huge amount of water in irrigated agriculture is wasted due to poor water management practices. To improve water management in irrigated areas, models for estimation of future water requirements are needed. D...

Our objective was to define sensitive morphological indicators that could be used to discriminate between drought sensitive and drought tolerant potato cultivars before final tuber yield is reached. A total of six potato cultivars contrasting for drought tolerance and earliness were subjected to three levels of water supply in two field trials in 1995 and 1996. We examined which parameter among...

Drought is the most important factor limiting rice yield in most rainfed areas of Asia and Africa. Four large BC2F2 populations consisted of 3,200 individuals, which were derived from crosses between an elite Geng variety, Jigeng88, and four donors from three different countries, were screened and progeny tested under severe drought stress, resulting in the development of 72 introgression lines...

Drought is a natural phenomenon that causes lot of damages annually in various sectors, including agriculture and resources. The aim this study to evaluate the influence meteorological drought index on vegetation index. For purpose, standard precipitation (SPI) as calculated using data 28 stations located area Lorestane province, Iran, during years 1987–2017. Then, condition (VCI) computed norm...

drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. proteomics in recent years one of the most powerful tools that help us to study the changes in protein in order to investigate the proteome of wheat leaves in response to terminal drought, two genotypes susceptible and resistant wheat genotypes were evaluated under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fe...

The effects of drought due to insufficient soil water supply frequently occur concurrently with high air temperature. These combinations of environmental conditions are likely to increase in frequency if climate change predictions are realised. While there have been studies of the effects of heat shocks and high temperatures at various stages of wheat reproductive growth, there are no published...
