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...

drought is the most significant constraint for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. in order to assess drought tolerance in fifteen rapeseed (brassica napus) cultivars using yield-based drought tolerance indices, two experiments were conducted at the research station of college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran during 2009-2010 growing season. the cultivars were arranged...

wheat grain yield is adversely affected by post-anthesis drought stress conditions in most wheat growing areas of iran. to evaluate the effect of late drought stress on wheat cultivars, a field experiment was conducted as split plot in a completely randomized block design with four replications at experimental farm of collage of agriculture, shiraz university during 2009-2010 growing season. ir...

in order to study the response of different chickpea genotypes to drought stress and determination of drought resistant genotypes, this experiment was conducted with 18 kabouli type chickpea genotypes including of susceptible check (ilc 3279) and local check (jam). the experiment was performed in a rbc design with three replications under rained and irrigated conditions during 2001-2 cropping s...

in order to study drought tolerance indices and to introduce tolerant maize hybrids in drought conditions, an experiment was conducted at the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, in 2009. the experiment was carried out using split-plot in a randomized complete block design (crbd) with three replications. the main plots consisted of three levels of irrigation regimes (irri...

Texas Gulf of Mexico populations of the marine mytilid Perna perna (Linnaeus, 1758) were sampled monthly on Fish Pass Jetty (FP) (27°41’ N) from September 1993 to February 1995 and Mansfield Pass Jetty (MP) (26°34’ N) from March 1994 to June 1995 within 1 yr of initial colonization. Population density and mussel size distributions allowed identification of annual cohorts. Mean individual tissue...

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...

to evaluate genetic variation and to study of dry matter remobilization towards seed, 64 bread wheat genotypes were examined in two separated experiments using alpha-latic design of 2 replications during 2002–2003. significant differences observed for most traits in normal and drought conditions. there were considerable variations among genotypes for independent parameters of dry matter remobil...
