drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses which can affect the growth of a plant, thereby curbing crop yield. identification of effective morphological traits is the main aim of each breeding program. our objective was to identify agronomic traits associated with changes in grain yield of wheat under irrigated and drought conditions. to address this objective, grain yield and...

Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...

terminal drought stress during grain filling period has recently become more common in the semiarid mediterranean regions, where wheat (triticum aestivum) is grown as an important winter cereal crop. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of terminal drought stress on grain yield, gas exchange variables, and some physiological traits of nine bread wheat cultivars. an experimen...

drought stress is a major factor limiting crop production. investigation of physiological characteristics related to drought tolerance and crop production may be useful in selecting drought tolerant cultivars as well as in improving crop yield. two drought tolerant (azar2 & back cross roshan) and two drought susceptible (marvdast & shiraz) cultivars were investigated in both greenhouse and fiel...

to evaluate the anti-transpiration effect on yield and yield components of corn late yield 704 under drought stress experiment split factorial randomized complete block design with three replications in spring 2012 at the research station, kermanshah. and paclobutrazol treatments include salicylic acid, which is taking on two levels. based on the values determined in the following order foliar ...

today, environment protection and safe crop production are very important. the management of soil elements by bio-fertilizers is considered as important point for sustainable agriculture. mode of action of fertilizers is very different in drought stress conditions. to evaluate biological fertilizers (agrohumic, nitroxin, superabsorbent and vermicompost) and compare them with current chemical fe...

     Triticum boeoticum wild wheat is a remarkable gene pool to environmental stress resistance. It is one of the most valuable species of the Triticeae tribe for improving wheat cultivars to moisture-stress. This research was carried out to assess the changes and responses of different traits of 10 accessions of Triticum boeoticum under non-stress and imposed moisture stress conditions in 2015...
