Effectiveness of Drought Tolerance Indices to Identify Tolerant Genotypes with High Yielding Potential in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Introduction of new indices to identify relative drought tolerance and resistance in wheat genotypes

Evaluation of Drought Tolerance in Barley Genotypes (Hordeum vulgare L.) using Drought Tolerance Indices

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress is one of the most important factors in reducing yield and barley production in rainfed arid regions, and counteracting or reducing the effect of stresses as a useful solution to increase barley yield. Therefore, improvement of stress-tolerant and suitable barley cultivars for arid and semi-arid regions is essential. Material and Me...

Acclimation to Drought Stress Enhances Oxidative Stress Tolerance in Solanum lycopersicum L. Fruits

A moderate water deficit stress (S1) applied 10 days after anthesis was found to induce acclimation to a subsequent more severe drought stress (S2) in Solanum lycopersicum L.. When plants were pretreated with S1, and then subjected to S2, fruit water status remained similar to controls. In contrast, S2 induced a decrease in both parameters of water status and diameter of fruits from non-acclima...

Assessment of genetic variation in Bulgarian tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genotypes, using fluorescent SSR genotyping platform

Genetic variability in modern crops is limited due to domestication and selection processes. Genetic variation in eight Bulgarian tomato varieties and breeding lines (variety Plovdivska karotina, variety IZK Alya, L21β, L53β, L1140, L1116, L975, L984) differing in their morphological and biochemical composition was assessed using a highly efficient and low-cost fluorescent simple sequence repea...

determination of drought tolerant genotypes in brassica napus l. based on drought tolerance indices

drought stress is one of the most important dangers for increasing the yield and good production of crops in iran and the world. to evaluate the genetic diversity of rapeseed genotypes, identifying the drought resistance indices and drought tolerant genotypes, 16 genotypes were tested in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications and two different water regimes (irrigated...
