to study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and  oil percentage of goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the agricultural research farm station of islamic azad university, roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. in...

in order to investigate of the effects of water stress on seed yield and gas exchange and to evaluate the relationship between source and sink in sunflower azargol variety, a split-plot factorial field experiment was conducted in 2008. in this experiment, water stress (no irrigation from 30 days after sowing till ripening) and irrigation (irrigation at -3 bar soil water potential) were consider...

Rice (Oryza sativa) is the primary food source for more than one-half of the world's population. Because rice cultivation is dependent on water availability, drought during flowering severely affects grain yield. Here, we show that the function of a drought-inducible receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, named GROWTH UNDER DROUGHT KINASE (GUDK), is required for grain yield under drought and well-wa...

A field experiment was conducted during 2001-2003 to evaluate the effect of water stress on the yield and yield components of four rice cultivars commonly grown in Mazandaran province, Iran. In northern Iran irrigated lowland rice usually experiences water deficit during the growing season include of land preparation time, planting, tillering stage, flowering and grain filing period. Recently d...

drought is still limited in most crops is produced. morphological and physiological knowledge to improve drought resistance under drought conditions created problems important is the fact each of these genetic relationships and processes associated with the exact amount of important plant and grain yield is unknown. the other hand, heritability of grain yield under water is reduced. improve the...

abstract drought is the most important factor limiting crop yield word wide. osmotic adjustment (oa) and strong and deep root system result in increased cereal drought tolerance through increasing water uptake and water use efficiency. the impact of root structure and physiological traits on drought stress response was studied in three barley cultivars including yousof (drought tolerant), moroc...

in order to investigate the effects of drought stress on grain yield and its components, a study was carried out (2011) as split plots in randomized complete blocks design in isfahan (32° 40'  n,51° 48' e). main factor was drought stress in four levels including irrigation after 80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan (class a) and subplots were three cultivars (sirena, record...

introduction drought stress reduces plant growth by affecting various physiological and biochemical processes, such as photosynthesis, respiration, translocation, ion uptake, carbohydrates, nutrient metabolism and growth promoters. garlic (allium sativum l.) is an annual bulb crop that has been cultivated since ancient times and was used as a spice and condiment for many centuries. garlic is an...
