one of the soil and water management practices in order to delay drought stress under water deficit condition; is superabsorbent application. in order to study the effect of  superabsorbent application on yield and yield components, two antioxidant enzymes activity and water relation of two canola hybrids under terminal drought stress condition, a research was carried out in ahvaz climate condi...

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...

development of new cultivars with high grain yield (gy) stability and good adaptability under both terminal drought stress (tds) and normal irrigation conditions, which plays important role in production of wheat, is one of the major goals of wheat breeding program for cold dry areas of iran. the objective of this investigation was to study the stability and adaptability of gy and genotype × lo...

drought causes significant reductions in crop productivity in many parts of the world, including iran. identifying genotypes tolerant to drought stress is therefore one of the foremost goals of crop breeding programs. this study investigated the effect of terminal drought stress on yield and yield components of new winter rapeseed lines, and identified new winter rapeseed lines tolerant to term...

knowledge of traits associated with drought tolerance would be useful for developing breeding materials fortarget environments. to study these traits, 119 spring durum wheat breeding lines (bls) from the international maize and wheat improvement center (cimmyt) were evaluated along with local checks (one modern cultivar and three landraces) in three experiments under terminal and non-terminal d...

to evaluate canola cultivars response to physiological characteristics and grain yield end seasonal drought stress in weather condition of ahvaz, farm experiments were done at research farm of khuzestan agriculture and natural resources center. during 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 crop years. farm test comprised drought stress was done as split plot form with randomize complete block design with four...

in order to study and determine the most effective traits, drought tolerance indices and identify tolerant genotypes in terminal drought stress on the cowpea, an experiment was carried out based on an augment design in two separate conditions in the karaj farm, faculty of agriculture, tehran university in 2009. drought stress was imposed by cutting irrigation after flowering against normal irri...

earliness and drought escape are as a primary strategy for plant adaptation in regions that plants are subjected to terminal drought stress. plants react to drought through morphological changes and alteration in physiological behavior. accordingly, two separate experiments to assess the response of yield and morphophysiological characteristics of earliness chickpea genotypes to drought stress ...

in order to evaluate terminal drought tolerance in different canola cultivars based on drought tolerance indices, an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute (spii), karaj in 2008-09. results using stress tolerance index (sti), geometric mean productivity (gmp) and mean product...
