introduction drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses all around the world. the aim of breeding studies and breeding for resistance to drought is that breeders seek to identify varieties and genetic resources to drought resistant and comparison of drought resistance among the varieties and the introduction of superior varieties to farmers. drought or imbalance between supply...

in order to identify and selection salt tolerant hybrids based on tolerance indices, 17 sugar beet three-way cross hybrids produced by crosses between 17 salinity improved s1 pollinators and a cytoplasmic male sterile (cms) single cross as female, along with three control genotypes were grown in 2007 in rudasht station (isfahan) under saline (12 ds/m and 8 ds/m for water and soil) and non-salin...

breeding for environmental stress is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. among stresses, drought stress has high influencing on limitation of wheat production. so, in order to find the best drought tolerant genotypes, 24 genotypes were planted in three separate experiments in ardebil: one with optimum irrigation (control), another with water stress at pre-anthesis stage and the o...

in order to evaluate and drought tolerance selection in cowpea genotypes and to identify the best indices for drought tolerance, an experiment was conducted at research field university of tehran in karaj during 2011-2012 growing season. in this study, 31 cowpea genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications under normal irrigation (non- stress) an...

in order to comparison and determination of the best drought tolerance indices in sweet corn hybrids, an experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design in split plot lay out with three replications at seed and plant improvement institute in karaj in 2006. three irrigation levels (irrigation after 75 as control, 100 and 125 millimeters cumulative evaporation from class a evapo...

in order to evaluate of drought tolerance in different canola varieties based on stress evaluation indices in terminal growth duration, an experiment was conducted as split-plot design on randomized complete block design with four replications at experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, karaj in 2005 and 2006. results using stress susceptibility index (ssi) and tolerance inde...
