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...

abstract: evaluation of drought tolerance for 20 barley genotypes were conducted under normal irrigation and terminal stress condition by withholding irrigation at the time of 50% flowering. drought effect on grain yield and plant total mass traits was studied and eight of stress indices including stress tolerance index (sti), stress tolerance (tol), stress susceptibility index (ssi), mean prod...

In this study, it was aimed to determine the internal and external quality traits of the Guinea fowl eggs as well as the phenotypic correlation among the these traits. Totally 100 Guinea fowl eggs were collected in three sequential days were used for this study. The birds were housed at Poultry Research Unit of the Department of Animal Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Akdeniz. Val...

one hundred forty-four 26-wk-old white hy-line layers (w-36) were fed commercial diets containing 0, 1.5, 3 and 5% surplus date for three period of 28 days each to study the effects of dietary surplus date on hen performance (egg production, egg weight, egg mass, feed intake, feed conversion ratio ‘fcr’ and body weight gain) and egg quality parameters (haugh unit score, yolk colour index, yolk ...

At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...
