The narrow genetic variation of bread wheat is one of the limitations to improve it for drought-tolerance. The research carried out to study the responses of different genotypes and traits to imposed moisture stress. The plant material comprised of 10 Aegilops tauschii accessions as well as a tolerant (BW2) and a susceptible (BW1) bread wheat cultivar. To assess the root and shoot-traits, two s...

an experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of se spraying on yield and growth indices of wheat under drought stress condition, in agriculture and natural resource research center of tehran province in 2011-12. a split plot layout within randomized complete block design with three replications were used. main plots were three irrigation treatments (normal irrigation, non-irriga...

Rainfall exclusion experiments allow us assessing the effects of environmental stresses such as long-term water limitations on both leaf and canopy structural traits. This work aimed to evaluate how anatomical traits development productive coffee trees change when submitted more dry conditions in southern region Minas Gerais - Brazil. The experimental plots have been set up a plantation area wh...

Salvia sclarea L, is an important medicinal plant that its oil has been evaluated for antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antimalarial, anticholinesterase and antiviral. Yield of plants are influenced by environmental and agricultural management factors such as drought stress and nutrition. Plant nutrition is one of the most important factors that positively influence pla...

Drought resistance is an important breeding target for enhancing alfalfa productivity in arid and semi-arid regions. Identification of genes involved in drought tolerance will facilitate breeding for improving drought resistance and water use efficiency in alfalfa. Our objective was to use a diversity panel of alfalfa accessions comprised of 198 cultivars and landraces to identify genes involve...

application of nanofertilizers is one of the promising methods for increasing resources use efficiency and reducing environmental pollutions. uncontrolled application of chemical fertilizer and pesticides has caused many problems to human health and domestic animals. nanofertilizers application could be a suitable way to reduce these problems. accordingly, in order to assess the silicon nanopar...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria(PGPR) on physiological and biochemical properties of maize (Zea mays L.) in different cultivation methods under water stress. The experiment was carried out as split-plot design including water stress (well-watered, mild stress, and severe stress) as main plot and also cultiv...

the deleterious effects of salinity on plant growth and development are associated with the imbalance ion in plant, decreased k+ and increased na+, and ultimately yield loss. in order to evaluate the effects of salinity, 41 bread wheat varieties (trticum aestivum l.) were planted in the randomized complete block design with three replications under two saline irrigation conditions, 0.631 and 11...
