in countries such as iran which will be faced water deficit as the main challenge in the future and the food production is going to be dependent to water recourses, wheat water-deficit tolerant and adapted genotypes release is one of the most important strategies under such a condition. in order to study the adaptation and terminal water deficit stress tolerance, fifteen bread wheat lines and c...

this study was conducted to evaluate the genetically effective traits that related to drought tolernace using 14 bread wheat lines and cultivars where in previous experiment clusterd into two resistant and susceptible groups under non-stress and stress conditions using randomized complete block design replicated three times. the combined analysis based on north carolina desing ii for studied tr...

water deficient is one of the most important limiting factors in rapeseed (brassica napus l.) production in arid and semiarid areas speciallyiran, which is the best approach to deal with the introduction of resistant and compatible varieties to drought stress. the response of fourteen rapeseed cultivars to water stress was studied in a split plot experiment based on complete randomized block de...

The chickpea and pigeonpea are protein-rich grain legumes used for human consumption in many countries. Grain yield of these crops is low to moderate in the semi-arid tropics with large variation due to high GxE interaction. In the Indian subcontinent chickpea is grown in the post-rainy winter season on receding soil moisture, and in other countries during the cool and dry post winter or spring...

introduction drought stress as the most important abiotic stress plays an important role in yield reduction of crops worldwide. considering the extends and problems caused by the moisture stress, agronomic and breeding strategies in reducing yield loss are essential. in this regard, the identification and selection of effective characteristics of wheat under drought stress in increasing yield, ...

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food supplying nutrition for more than half of the world’s population. Amylose content (AC) is widely considered as the most important factor determining rice grain quality for cooking, eating and processing. Field experiments of 32 rice varieties of different ecotypes grown under artificial drought stress from 30 days after transplanting to maturity and well ...

The genus Triticum includes bread (Triticum aestivum) and durum wheat (Triticum durum) and constitutes a major source for human food consumption. Drought is currently the leading threat on world's food supply, limiting crop yield, and is complicated since drought tolerance is a quantitative trait with a complex phenotype affected by the plant's developmental stage. Drought tolerance is crucial ...

Improving drought tolerance through drought preconditioning is an important way to understand drought tolerance mechanism in plants. Some limited researches have focused on the gene expression patterns in conjunction with the underlying enzymes promoting drought tolerance and post-drought recovery in white clover. The objective of this study was to identify whether preconditioning-induced droug...
