in order to study the combined and separate effects of phosphorus fertilizer, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungus on adjusting and reducing the loss of yield resulting from drought stress during the stage of growth of grain corn (sc704) an experiment was performed in aboureihan campus of the university of tehran, iran, during 2007-2008. the experiment was conducted as split p...

Drought stress is a critical environmental factor that adversely affects crop productivity and quality. Because of their immobile nature, plants have evolved mechanisms to sense and respond to drought stress. We identified a novel locus of Arabidopsis, designated DRA1 (drought responsive ankyrin1), whose disruption leads to increased drought-stress tolerance. DRA1 encodes a transmembrane protei...

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...

one of the most effective ways to deal with drought stress and increase water use efficiency is the development of drought-tolerant varieties which display less reduction in yield per unit water reduction. therefore, the breeding of diploid pollinators was considered as an essential measure for producing drought-tolerant hybrids. in this study, from 4 diploid pollinator populations, 45 half-sib...

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...

the present study was designed to evaluate the drought tolerance of new sugar beet monogerm hybrids using polyethylene glycol 6000, under in vitro condition. the experiment was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications in sugar beet seed institute, karaj in 2013. 23 new sugar beet monogerm hybrids with two tolerant and normal controls wer...

Photosynthetic characteristics and induction of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) by drought stress were investigated in Sedum album, Sedum stoloniferum and Rosularia elymaitica from Crassulaceae. Titratable acidity, malate content, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) activity and gas exchange parameters were determined in plants at the end and beginning of the photoperiod. Results showed t...
