To investigate genetic variation, and identification of tolerant genotypes according to quantitative indices of drought tolerance, 8 sesame genotypes were tested in a randomized complete block design with three replications under optimum and limited irrigation at the Research Station of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University. Based on the potential yield and yield under stress, quantitative ...

     In order to study the effect of drought stress and determination of effective traits on grain yield of wheat in normal and terminal drought stress conditions, 82 wheat genotypes were studied in two separate experiments using randomized complete block design with three replications during cropping season 2011-2012. Drought stress was applied in heading stage by limited irrigation. Set of 22...

Despite the high potential of sesame production in the country, its yield and water use efficiency is low. Therefore, identifying genotypes with high grain yield, especially under drought stress conditions, is essential for developing this crop. For this purpose, field experiments were conducted to investigate the qualitative and quantitative response of 21 sesame genotypes to drought stress co...

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...

this study investigated the effects of planning on second-language written production with regard to task type. the participants were 75 iranian learners of english as a foreign language attending a private foreign language institution. they were asked to complete two different types of writing tasks (expository writing task and argumentative writing task) in different planned conditions (indiv...

­­Drought is one of the most destructive abiotic stresses worldwide that affects growth, development and final yield of crops. Reactions of thirteen rainfed spring 2-row barley genotypes and cultivars of cold areas of Iran to water stress were evaluated based on phenological, physiological and morphological traits. The experiment was carried out as factorial experiment based on a randomized com...
