current study aimed at determining the most reliable drought tolerant criteria for identification of sugar beet genotypes. a split plot design based on randomized complete block design with three replications was applied at motahari research station, karaj, iran in 2012. two irrigation treatments including normal irrigation after 80-90 mm and irrigation after 270 mm evaporation (stress conditio...

in order to evaluate drought tolerance of chickpea genotypes and identifying the best indices of drought tolerance, the 20 genotypes desi chickpea plus two improved cultivars (kaka and piroz) were tested using a randomized complete block design under two irrigated (non stress) and (stress) conditions. quantitive drought tolerance and susceptibility indices such as stress tolerance index (sti), ...

breeding for environmental stress is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. among stresses, drought stress has high influencing on limitation of wheat production. so, in order to find the best drought tolerant genotypes, 24 genotypes were planted in three separate experiments in ardebil: one with optimum irrigation (control), another with water stress at pre-anthesis stage and the o...

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...

An active role of T regulatory cells (Treg) and tolerogenic dendritic cells (Tol-DC) is believed important for the induction and maintenance of transplantation tolerance. However, interactions between these cells remain unclear. We induced donor-specific tolerance in a fully MHC-mismatched murine model of cardiac transplantation by simultaneously targeting T cell and DC function using anti-CD45...

in order to study drought tolerance indices and to introduce tolerant maize hybrids in drought conditions, an experiment was conducted at the experimental field of seed and plant improvement institute, in 2009. the experiment was carried out using split-plot in a randomized complete block design (crbd) with three replications. the main plots consisted of three levels of irrigation regimes (irri...

Selection for drought tolerance typically involves evaluating genotypes for either high yield potential or stable performance under drought stress. In order to select drought tolerant land races of bread wheat an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications under two different rainfed and irrigated conditions during the growing season 2010-2011. ...

Plants of six wheat varieties (Damani, Hashim-8, Gomal-8, DN-73, Zam-04, and Dera-98) were grown under three water regimes i.e. 100% Field Capacity (FC), 35% FC and 25% FC. Results of this experiment showed highly significant difference among wheat varieties in all the studied traits and water stress conditions decreased them significantly. The superior variety Hashim-8 which indicated higher r...
