abstract: evaluation of drought tolerance for 20 barley genotypes were conducted under normal irrigation and terminal stress condition by withholding irrigation at the time of 50% flowering. drought effect on grain yield and plant total mass traits was studied and eight of stress indices including stress tolerance index (sti), stress tolerance (tol), stress susceptibility index (ssi), mean prod...

The effect of four different levels of irrigation periods, including normal irrigation, irrigation after 100, 150, and 200mm evaporation, with three different bio-fertilizer including control, Mycorrhiza, and Rhizobium were investigated on morphological and yield traits of guar. The experiment was conduct in form of split-plot design with irrigation periods as main plots and bio-fertilizers as ...

Drought stress reduces the yield and production of tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.). Tomato does not naturally accumulate glycinebetaine (GB) in the cells under natural conditions. Effects of exogenous glycinebetaine on some morpho-physiological characteristics of Lycopersicum esculentum Mill. cv. PS was evaluated at different levels of drought stress. The experiment was conducted in a fa...

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 arranged...

in order to study drought stress, zn and, fe foliar application on grain yield and yield components of sorghum (sorghum bicolar l .moench)in sistan region, an split plot experiment was carried out base on randomized complete block design with 3 replications during summer2010. three irrigation levels (normal irrigation, pre-anthesis drought stress and post-anthesis drought sress) ialocated in ma...

Oxidative stress is commonly induced when plants are grown under drought stress conditions.To analyze how salicylic acid (SA) can partly alleviate drought-induced oxidative stress and negative impacts of drought on physiology and growth of Salvia nemorosa plants, we investigated the physiological responses of S. nemorosa to SA application under drought stress. The treatments were composed of Co...

Drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses affecting plant growth, yield and crop production around the world. It is believed that arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are used for protecting plants against drought damage.Vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in recent years to cope with water stress in many plants. In this study, the relationship between water d...
