in order to determine the best index for evaluating maize genotypes, 15 maize inbred lines were evaluated in two planting dates, 6 july to coincide heat stress with pollination time and 27 july as normal planting to avoid high temperature during pollination and grain filling period, using a randomized complete block design with three replications, in shushtar city, in 2007. result showed that i...

introduction obtaining varieties with acceptable yield and tolerant to different arid and semi-arid climate condition of iran is an important goal in canola breeding programs. selection of genotypes base on one or more traits without regarding to correlation between them, could biases the expected results. therefore, identifying of genetic correlation among traits especially in environmental st...

earliness and drought escape are as a primary strategy for plant adaptation in regions that plants are subjected to terminal drought stress. plants react to drought through morphological changes and alteration in physiological behavior. accordingly, two separate experiments to assess the response of yield and morphophysiological characteristics of earliness chickpea genotypes to drought stress ...

in order to investigate the effects of drought stress and nitrogen fertilizer on photosynthesis rate and some physiological characteristics in two barley cultivars, a pot experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design as a factorial experiment with three factors including water stress, nitrogen fertilizer and barley cultivars in three replications. irrigation treatments condu...

barley (hordeum vulgare l.) is a model plant, as genetic and physiological studies are concerned. abiotic stresses such as drought adversely affect the growth of plants. the objective of this experiment was to identify the responsive genes to osmotic stress, using macroarray (covering 13050 genes). rna was extracted from 5 barley genotypes in stress as well as in normal conditions at 3 times of...

one of the soil and water management practices in order to delay drought stress under water deficit condition; is superabsorbent application. in order to study the effect of  superabsorbent application on yield and yield components, two antioxidant enzymes activity and water relation of two canola hybrids under terminal drought stress condition, a research was carried out in ahvaz climate condi...

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...

in order to investigate the effect of hexaconazole (hex) on the increasing tolerance to water deficit stress of two soybean (glycine max l.) cultivars, an experiment was conducted in faculty of agronomy of tarbiat modares university as factorial experiment in randomized complete block design arrangement. factors examined in this study were included soybean cultivars (l17 and clark63), hex conce...
