Drought is the most destructive environmental limitation that jeopardizes agronomic production. Given wide range of industrial and medicinal applications arugula (Eruca sativa. L.), present study evaluated response a world collection 64 genotypes to drought stress over two-year period (2019 2020) through selection indices some traits. The main objective was identify best from Susceptibility Ind...

In order to study the adaptation of rice lines to drought stress and to identify the tolerant and sensitive lines, 150 pure lines in RIL population each derived from a cross between two Iranian rice varieties Gharib and Sepidroud were investigated. Augment design based on the randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used with 6 check cultivars and 4 replications in 2013-2014 growing season. ...

Drought and heat stress have become the most prevailing problems for maize (Zea mays L.) crop production. Therefore, development of tolerance has an essential goal in a breeding programme. Hence, experiment was conducted at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, to identify tolerant DH lines during spring season, 2016 2017. A total 32 were evaluated under non-stress conditions. Five indices ...

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 ...

Macular pigment (MP) distribution profiles were measured for 18 subjects using a Moreland anomaloscope modified for motion photometry. The total amount of MP within the central 7 degrees was estimated from the distribution profile by numerical integration. Fundus autofluorescence images were obtained for eight of these subjects using a scanning laser ophthalmoscope. Peak optical density of MP i...

The main objective of this research was to evaluate fourteen oat (Avena sativa L.) landraces and cultivars for drought tolerance using several indices. The trials were conducted both under rain-fed and irrigated conditions for three growing seasons (2001–2004) in two locations in the Central Anatolian Region of Turkey. Biplot analysis based on the Spearman’s rank correlation matrix revealed tha...
