For evaluation of the traits related to water deficit stress in 20 spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and subsequently  determination of the most tolerant and sensitive cultivars, an experiment was carried out in split plot based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) in the research farm of the University of Tabriz, Iran during 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 crop seasons. The first fac...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Moldavian balm (Dracocephalum moldavica L.) is a medicinal plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family which uses as stomachic, sedative and healing of wound. Non-uniform establishment of medicinal plants in arid zones soil especially under abiotic stresses such as salinity is the most important problems in cropping and developing of these plants. Mat...

DOR: 98.1000/2383-1251.1397.5.87.9.1.1578.1610 Extended abstract Introduction: Drought stress is one of the major problems in sugar beet production in Iran, and is the most important limiting factor for germination and establishment of sugar beet in the early stages of growth. Seed priming with chemical, nutrient elements or pre-chilling techniques are the most effective methods to impro...

Anise is an annual plant belonging to Apiaceae family and fruit essential oil of this herb is used in various pharmaceutical, cosmetic and beverage industries. Drought stress is one of the most critical limiting factors for anise production in worldwide. In this research, to finding interrelationships among different traits and performance, some anise genotypes were evaluated using the biplot m...

To study the responses of seven rice genotypes (Khazar, SA13, Deylam, Sange Joe, Sepidrud, 831 and T5) to different levels of irrigation water salinity, and determining grain yield based on tolerance indices, a CRD based factorial pot experiment with five levels of irrigation water salinity (1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 dSm-1) and three replications was carried out at Rice Research Institute of Iran in 201...

Chlormequat chloride (CCC) as one of the most important growth retardants has been used for manipulation of growth and yield of cereal crops; however, the effect of CCC has not yet been well understood under drought stress conditions. Therefore, one greenhouse and a field experiment were conducted to examine the effects of CCC on yield and yield components of wheat in drought conditions at Coll...

Among different environmental stresses, drought is of great importance that induces a highly negative effect on crop production. In order to evaluate drought tolerance in dryland wheat genotypes, 36 genotypes were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications under rainfed (drought stress) and supplemental irrigation conditions during 2016–2017 growing season in Research...
