Wild jujube, Ziziphus lotus, is a multipurpose xerophytic shrub of the Rhamnaceae family widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions of Tunisia, where it occupies most soil types. The fruit is the edible part of the plant by local population. The reintroduction of this shrub requires the control of its multiplication in response to water shortage. This study aims to evaluate growth and wat...

abstract- the crop water stress index (cwsi) is the most common index to monitor and assess crop water stress, based on canopy temperature. to calculate cwsi, upper and lower baselines adaptable to different environments are needed. in this study, empirical and theoretical limiting baseline equations were developed to determine eggplant cwsi values at different levels of water deficit and salin...

In order to evaluate the tuber fresh weight and some physiological attributes of Agria potato cultivar in response to water deficit stress and mycorrhiza inoculation, a field trial was conducted as a split plot scheme based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the research site of Islamic Azad University, Tabriz Branch in 2012. Four water levels including: irrigation a...

to evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi under water deficit stress on linseed, a field experiment was conducted as split-plot in rcbd design with three replications at the research station of faculty of agriculture at shahrekord university in 2013. water deficit stress at four levels of no stress, mild, medium and severe stress as main factor and inoculation with glomus intraradi...

abstract seed germination is an important phase of plant development during which soil water availability is crucial. salinity can affect seed germination in two ways: 1) change of osmotic potential of available water, 2) toxicity effects. in this experiment, interactive effects of salinity and water deficit on germination criteria of two species of a, littoralis and a. logopoides were studied ...

seed protein usually is not sensitive to environmental fluctuations; its banding pattern is very stable which advocated for cultivars identification purpose in crop. this study was planned to study effect of water deficit on protein content and protein banding pattern of wheat genotypes. in this study five wheat genotypes were planted in early november, growing season of 2008-2009. the experime...

abstract: deficit irrigation technique can be used for produce more yield for every unit of irrigation water, and cause to increase crop economical benefit. main purpose of deficit irrigation is high water use efficiency with decreasing in irrigation sufficiency. in this research potential of cropwat model in deficit irrigation management for two crops, wheat and barley in karaj climate was stu...
