terminal heat stress is the most widespread heat stress in the world. in order to evaluate the effect of heat stress on yield, yield component, and mopho-phenological traits of barley, 10 barley genotypes including the 2-row genotypes: mahour, khoram, nimrooz, abidar and 6-row genotypes: yousef, rihan 03, izeh, zahak, nosrat, jonoub were tested under normal (optimum sowing date) and heat stress...

Abstract Effects of water stress on root and leaf growth rates and their relationships with yield under normal and water stress conditions were examined at the Greenhouse and Research Field of Faculty of Agriculture, Kerman University, Iran, using seven maize cultivars including SC-404, SC-704, BC-666, TC-647, DC-370, Jeta and Kordona. During a period of 14 days, water stress at -0.4 MPa was ...
