The effect of water deficit on stem reserve mobilization and sink activity in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars, viz., C306 (drought tolerant) and PBW343 (drought sensitive) was studied. Drought was maintained in pot raised plants by withholding irrigation at 95 days after sowing (DAS), i.e. just five days before the initiation of anthesis. Drought induced a significant reduction in mean b...

in order to study of drought tolerance levels in some wheat lines and cultivars based on uniform regional wheat yield trial (urwyt-m-75) an experiment was carried out using a strip plot design based on complete block design with 3 replications for two years (1998-2000) in torogh agricultural research station (mashhad, iran). the main plots (horizontal factor) were 3 levels of irrigation: 10, 20...

mechanisms of tolerance to water deficiency stress for introducing sunflower hybrid was investigated by a two-factor experiment as a split plot design based on rcbd was at the research station in alborz province, hashtgerd region, iran in 2013. irrigation rates (irrigation after 50, 100 and 150 mm cumulative evaporation from class a evaporation pan) were considered in the main plots and sunflow...

Drought stress induced pollen sterility is a detrimental factor reducing grain number in wheat. Exploring the mechanisms underlying pollen fertility under drought conditions could assist breeding high-yielding wheat cultivars with stress tolerance. Here, by using two Chinese wheat cultivars subjected to different levels of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced drought stress, possible links between...

Salt stress is one of the most common stresses in agricultural regions worldwide. In particular, sugarcane is affected by salt stress conditions, and no sugarcane cultivar presently show high productivity accompanied by a tolerance to salt stress. Proteomic analysis allows elucidation of the important pathways involved in responses to various abiotic stresses at the biochemical and molecular le...

for assessment of drought stress effects on agro characteristics of 30 lines and 6 wheat cultivars and for introducing of drought tolerant and susceptible ones one trial were established using split plot base of randomized complete block design with two replications, main plots were stress and non-stress condition and sub plots contain 30 lines and six wheat cultivars in the check trial, irriga...

abstract cumin (cuminum cyminum) is one of the most important medicinal plants in iranian dry region. in order to study the effects of irrigation times and salinity stress on yield and yield components of cumin, an experiment was conducted at the research farm ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2009. factors including irrigation times (1: one time irrigation, 2: two times irrigation 3: three tim...
