This experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology, Najafabad, Iran in 2014 and 2015 to evaluate drought tolerance indices of some sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) genotypes. In this study, 21 sesame genotypes isolated from different local populations along with seven exotic cultivars were evaluated at two irrigation regimes, using a randomized complete block desi...

structure. So, it is possible to achieve the salinity-tolerant genotype in plants through creating changes in the genetic structure and breeding activities. Tomato is in the group of plants sensitive to salinity stress. Distinct studies have been explained different indicators for tolerance to salt stress in tomato. Identifying a reliable indicator in the early stages of plant growth under salt...

  In order to evaluate drought tolerance of some safflower genotypes, an experiment was conducted at the Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology in 2016 and 2017. In this study, 18 safflower genotypes selected from different local populations along with 2 exotic cultivars and one local population (21 genotypes) were separately evaluated at two normal (non-stress) and water deficit (s...

Wheat grain yield reduction occurs in most wheat growing regions of Iran due to post-anthesis water stress. This research was conducted to evaluate yield and yield components of wheat cultivars in normal irrigation and post anthesis irrigation cut-off conditions as a split-plot arrangement based on a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2015-16 in College of Agricultu...

Drought stress is one the most limiting factors for crop production worldwide. The wide ecological and environmental dispersion of crop wild relatives, generates a high potential of their adaptive diversity to abiotic stresses such as drought. In this study 21 (including 10 cultivated and 11 wild barley (Hordeumvulgaressp. spontaneum))genotypes were evaluated under three soil water conditions f...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Due to the water resources limitation required for agriculture in Iran, providing effective methods to reduce the negative effects of drought on crop yield is one of the important studies to plant breeding. Drought tolerance in crops is very important. By using different cultivars of crops that are able to produce relatively good yield in drought s...
