The objective of present study was to evaluate the response of the mung bean seeds of ‘Sonali B1’ variety primed with chitosan in four different concentrations (0, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.5%) under salinity stress of five different concentrations (i.e., 0, 4, 6, 8 and 12 dS*mm) and halotolerance pattern by applying Celite as matrix at three different moisture levels (5%, 10% and 20%). Improved germina...

This study was conducted to determine drought tolerance genotypes with superiority in different stressed environments. To screening quantitative indices of drought tolerance, genotypes of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were tested in a complete randomized block design with three replications under two different water regimes (irrigated and rainfed). Significant positive correlatio...

Drought is the most significant constraint for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. In order to assess drought tolerance in fifteen rapeseed (Brassica napus) cultivars using yield-based drought tolerance indices, two experiments were conducted at the research station of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran during 2009-2010 growing season. The cultivars were...

in order to evaluate salinity tolerance in 20 sugar bee genotypes, an experiment was conducted in two fields with salinity (ec= 12 ds/m, ph= 7.6) and non-salinity stress, in the form of rcbd at miandoab agricultural research station. different morphological and physiological traits such as root yield, sugar percentage, white sugar percentage, molasses, n, na, k, syrup purity and green cover per...

heat stress is a major environmental stress limiting wheat productivity in most cereal growing areas of the world. in order to map and characterize quantitative trait loci controlling heat tolerance, 144 recombinant inbred lines deriving from the cross of kauz and mtrwa116 were assessed in a greenhouse and growth chamber at 35°c. one hundred and sixty six ssr and 3 aflp markers were used to...
