In order to evaluate grain yield potential and study dry matter remobilization to seed, 8 commercial bread wheat cultivars were examined in two separate experiments, using randomized complete block design with 4 replications in 2003. There were significant differences for most traits in normal and drought conditions. Sarday variety had the least grain yield in the two environments. There was c...

Drought is one of the most important environmental factors affecting plant growth. The double haploid method is one of the most common breeding methods in wheat. Using old cultivars in cross-breeding programs can be effective for restoring genes lost during evolution. In this study, in order to evaluate the genetic diversity and to select the drought-tolerant introgression wheat lines, 151 doub...

Drought stress is one of the most limiting abiotic stresses affecting growth, production and survival of plants in many areas of the world, and is expected to intensify considering the trend of climate change. Grass species are important for the sustainability of agricultural systems, forage resources for animal farming and landscapes. Grass species adapt to water deficit by different morpholog...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) as one of the oilseed crops has recently received lots of attention due to its suitable oil quality and high oil percentage. To evaluate the effect of water deficit stress on canola genotypes with regard to yield, drought tolerance quantitative indices and identify drought tolerant genotypes, an experiment was conducted in research farm of seed and plant improvement I...

Breeding of rice for drought tolerance requires proper evaluation and analysis of genetic diversity in breeding populations related to drought tolerance. In order to identify indices for tolerant and sensitive rice genotypes to drought stress, an experiment with 59 genotypes of rice was conducted based of a complete block design with three replications in non-stressed (flooding) and stressed co...
