One of the possible ways to ensure future food needs of an increasing world population involves the better water use through the development of crop varieties which need less water and are more tolerant to drought. In order to study the response of twenty landraces of bread wheat to drought stress, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications under t...

PURPOSE Several studies have reported higher levels of macular pigment (MP) in association with reduced risk for age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), a disease to which there is a genetic predisposition. A classic twin study was performed to determine the heritability of MP in the healthy eye. METHODS One hundred fifty twin pairs (76 monozygotic [MZ] and 74 dizygotic [DZ]), aged 18 to 50 ...

inheritance of several yield-based drought resistance indices was studied by a halfdiallel method using seven winter wheat varieties. the parental lines were such chosen as to represent a broad range of drought stress resistance. the experiment was conducted in a split-plot design at the research farm, faculty of agriculture, zanjan university, iran, in 1998. irrigated vs. rainfed regimes w...

in order to investigate the effects of water deficit at different growth stages of chickpea genotypes, determining the best drought tolerance index and genotypes, an experiment carried out in the saatlu agricultural research station of uromia in 2008-2009. the experiment was split plot based on the randomized complete blocks design with four replications, in which, four levels of irrigation as ...

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...
