to evaluate the response of wheat to drought stress and salicylic acid, this field experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of college of agriculture, university of shahid bahonar kerman, iran in 2011-2012, in a split-plot arrangement using completely randomized block design with four replications. main plot was irrigation (normal irrigation and cut off at flowering) and sub plot was...

wheat stem reserves can be an important contributor to grain particularly under decrease in the source strength through defoliation. the aim of this research was to study ability remobilization as important contribution on yield stability under drought conditions and to investigate their intrinsic compensatory mechanism in the wheat cultivars with different degrees of resource limitations under...

to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

Production in cereal crops is due to some complex physiological and biochemical processes, but essentially associated with the process of carbohydrate accumulation grain filling phase which turn attributed leaf functionalities. A critical stage development wheat plants emergence final called flag leaf. At this point emphasis management needs shift its protection as for attaining high yields. Un...

Wild species and derived introgression lines (ILs) are a good source of genes for improving complex traits such as heat tolerance. The effect of heat stress on 18 yield traits was studied in four treatments in two seasons, under field conditions by subjecting 37 ILs and recurrent parents Swarna and KMR3, N22 mutants, and wild type and 2 improved rice cultivars to heat stress using polycover hou...

A model to predict Septoria tritici blotch (STB) and leaf rust effects on wheat growth was constructed and evaluated in two steps. At the leaf scale, Bastiaans' approach that predicts the relative photosynthesis of a wheat leaf infected with a single disease, was extended to the case of two diseases, one biotrophic and one necrotrophic by considering the leaf rust-STB complex. A glasshouse expe...
