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...

Selection for drought tolerance typically involves evaluating genotypes for either high yield potential or stable performance under drought stress. In order to select drought tolerant land races of bread wheat an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications under two different rainfed and irrigated conditions during the growing season 2010-2011. ...

Drought is an important factor limiting crop production in arid and semi-arid conditions. Drought indices which provide a measure of drought based on yield loss under drought condition in comparison to normal condition was used for screening drought-tolerant genotypes. This study was conducted to determine drought tolerant genotypes with high yield in stress and non-stress conditions. Ten barle...

the first step in identification of genes which control traits in stress and no stress conditions is localization of chromosomal related to traits. in order to locate the genes controlling drought resistance and screening quantitative indices of drought resistance in wheat, substitution line series of hope into the genetic background of chinese spring (cs) were tested in a randomized complete b...

continual heat stress affects approximately 7 million hectares of wheat in developing countries, while terminal heat stress is a problem in 40% of temperate environments, which cover 36 million hectares throughout the world. heat tolerance is a quantitative and complex trait that doesn’t have much success in direct selection. for this purpose, however, a thorough understanding of physiological ...
