Plant responses to water deficit
نویسنده
چکیده
Plant responses to water deficit are dependent on the amount of water lost, the rate of loss and the duration of the stressed condition. The characterization of a large number of genes induced by stresses involving water deficit has significantly improved understanding of the response. There appear to be several pathways for gene induction involved, and these are being elucidated by the analysis of DNA elements, mutants and gene expression patterns. However, it has been difficult to resolve the functions of many drought-induced genes against the background of other stress-induced changes, and thus it is now important to integrate information about cellular and whole plant responses.

Responses of agronomic components of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) as influenced by deficit irrigation, water salinity and planting method
Shortage and salinity of irrigation water are two major constraints that influence rapeseed production in arid and semi-arid regions of central and southern Iran. In this study, effects of deficit irrigation with different salinity levels and planting methods (in-furrow and on-ridge) as strategies for coping with water and salinity stresses on yield and yield quality of rapeseed were invest...
متن کاملEffect of Foliar Application of Salicylic Acid on Yield, Yield Components and Essential Oil of Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum-Graecum L.) under Water Deficit Conditions
Salicylic acid is an important signal molecule modulating plant responses to abiotic (drought) stresses. A pot factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was carried out to investigate the effect of salicylic acid on yield and essential oil content of fenugreek under water deficit conditions. Factors were two irrigation levels (50 and 100% of field capaci...
