to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under water deficit stress on linseed, a field experiment was conducted as split-plot in rcbd design with three replications at the research station of faculty of agriculture at shahrekord university in 2013. water deficit stress at four levels of no stress, mild, medium and severe stress as main factor and inoculation with glomus intraradi...

this study was conducted to evaluate changes in antioxidants, free proline, relative water content and determination of root colonization of four commercial wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars (azar2, darab2, shiraz, and falat) inoculated with the fungus glomus intraradices, under four water regimes of 100, 75, 50, and 25% of field capacity in the year 2010 at the school of agriculture, shir...

The ABA-responsive barley gene HVA1, a member of group 3 late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) protein genes, was introduced into spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cv. Hi-Line using the biolistic bombardment method. High levels of expression of the HVA1 gene, regulated by the maize ubi1 promoter, were observed in leaves and roots of independent transgenic wheat plants and were inherited by offspr...

Water scarcity and the increasing severity of water deficit stress are major challenges to sustaining irrigated rice (Oryza sativa) production. Despite the technologies developed to reduce the water requirement, rice growth is seriously constrained under water deficit stress compared with other dryland cereals such as wheat (Triticum aestivum). We exposed rice cultivars with contrasting respons...

BACKGROUND Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) is an important crop, but droughts often affect peanut production. There is a lack of genomic information available for peanut; therefore, little is known about the molecular basis of its drought stress response. RESULTS Previously, we found that peanut stomata close rapidly during water deficit and in response to abscisic acid (ABA) treatment, and many ge...

34 Elucidating the genetic control of rooting behaviour under water-deficit stress is essential to 35 breed climate-robust rice cultivars. Using a diverse panel of 274 indica genotypes grown 36 under control and water-deficit conditions during vegetative growth, we phenotyped 35 traits, 37 mostly related to root morphology and anatomy, involving ~45,000 root scanning images and 38 nearly ~25,00...
