Twenty five Sri Lankan modern rice cultivars were screened for submergence tolerance at seedling and vegetative stages. An experiment was carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna, Mapalana, Kamburupitiya, Sri Lanka during May to September, 2011 according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD) with 4 replicates and each replicate contained 20 plants to evaluate sub...

in order to study the effects of foliar application of zn and k on yield and some physiological traits of spring safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.), cv. esfahan 14, under drought stress, a pot experiment was conducted in research greenhouse of yasouj university. experiment was a factorial based on completely randomized design with three replications. factors consisted of drought stress (s1- wi...

Climate change projections predict warmer and drier conditions. In general, moderate to severe water stress reduce plant vegetative growth and leaf photosynthesis. However, vegetative and reproductive growths show different sensitivities to water deficit. In fruit trees, water restrictions may have serious implications not only on tree growth and yield, but also on fruit quality, which might be...

mungbean (vigna radiata (l.) wilczek) or green gram as a dryland grain legume is exposed to varied timings and severity of drought stress, resulting in variability in photoassimilate production. in order to evaluate some physiological responses in one mungbean cultivar to timing and severity of drought stress, a 3-replicate rcbd (randomized complete block design) field experiment was carried ou...

in order the the effect of biofertilizer and cut irrigation on growth of borage (borago officinalis) an experiment in split plot randomized based on complete block design with three replications in 1393 at the agricultural research station of roudehen islamic azad university done. treatments were first factor drought in four levels (control, stress at vegetative stage, stress at flowering stage...

Salinity is a severe environmental stress that greatly impairs production of crops worldwide. Previous studies have shown that GMPase plays an important role in tolerance of plants to salt stress at vegetative stage. However, the function of GMPase in plant responses to salt stress at reproductive stage remains unclear. Studies have shown that heterologous expression of rice GMPase OsVTC1-1 enh...
