Despite recent development in producing chemical medicines, associated side effects have led to increased use of medicinal plants and natural compounds. Soil salinity, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, is a serious threat to global agriculture. Nowadays, efforts have been made to find benchmarks that can effectively select salt-tolerant or salt-resistant genotypes. In this regard, the u...

Background Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) remains an important medical condition. The biophysical characteristics of thrombus may determine the response to endovascular interventions. We demonstrated that multi-sequence thrombus imaging (MSTI) using magnetization transfer rate (MTR), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and T1 mapping can characterize thrombus organization and identify thrombi amen...

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...

drought stress, especially drought at terminal stages, plays an important role in reduction of yield in field crops such as common beans. 50 genotypes of common bean including 3 control genotypes (dehghan, bahman and naz) were used to evaluate and identify the tolerant genotypes. this experiment were performed in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications under two condit...

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...

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...

in order to evaluate drought tolerance of some aegilops triuncialis ecotypes a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design was conducted under non-stress and drought stress (irrigation until 50% of heading) condition in the greenhouse of mohaghegh ardabili university in 2012. drought tolerance and susceptibility indices for grain yield were calculated and principal component an...
