Cereal crops mainly cultivated as a rainfed crops, where grain yield is often limited by terminal drought stress. Therefore, ability of plants to withstand drought is an important aspect of crop production in water limited conditions. In this context grain yield is closely related to post-anthesis water availability. Hence, grain yield can be increased by restricting pre anthesis water use to m...

abstract in order to evaluate crop water stress index (cwsi) and canopy temperature of wheat cultivars under terminal drought stress, a field experiment was conducted at the agricultural research station of shiraz university, shiraz, during 2009 growing season. five wheat cultivars including shiraz, bahar, pishtaz, sistan and yavaros and four levels of water regime including well watering [irr...

drought, specially in reproductive stage is one of the major constraints, limiting the productivity of crops, including chickpea (cicer arietinum l.). to study the effects of drought during pod set and seed filling stages (terminal drought) on phenology, growth and seed yield of 5 kabuli chickpea genotypes of: arman, jam, hasham, flip93-93 (azad) and ilc482, an experiment was conducted during t...

to identify and characterize bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) genotypes adapted to terminal water deficit conditions, 51 superior hexaploid wheat genotypes together with commercial check cultivars were studied, in a two stages screening practice, for drought tolerance in karaj, kermanshah, isfahan, neishabour and varamin filed stations under terminal water deficit conditions in 2002-2005 grow...

Drought stress from soil or air limits plant growth and development, leading to a reduction in crop productivity. Several E3 ligases positively or negatively regulate the drought stress response. In the present study, we show that the pepper (Capsicum annuum) Drought Induced RING type E3 ligase 1, CaDIR1, regulates the drought stress response via abscisic acid (ABA)-mediated signaling. CaDIR1 c...

Abstract In order to evaluate crop water stress index (CWSI) and canopy temperature of wheat cultivars under terminal drought stress, a field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Shiraz University, Shiraz, during 2009 growing season. Five wheat cultivars including Shiraz, Bahar, Pishtaz, Sistan and Yavaros and four levels of water regime including well watering [Irr...

development of new cultivars with high grain yield (gy) stability and good adaptability under both terminal drought stress (tds) and normal irrigation conditions, which plays important role in production of wheat, is one of the major goals of wheat breeding program for cold dry areas of iran. the objective of this investigation was to study the stability and adaptability of gy and genotype × lo...

root and shoot osmotic and elastic properties of two species of haloxylon aphyllum and h.persicum in response to water stress were studied. the main goal of the study was to determine if the tissuesof two species utilize osmotic adjustment and/or enhance their elastic property during prolonged water stresscondition. the results showed that although tissue elasticity of both species of haloxylon...
