Drought is the most significant constraint for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. In order to assess drought tolerance in fifteen rapeseed (Brassica napus) cultivars using yield-based drought tolerance indices, two experiments were conducted at the research station of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran during 2009-2010 growing season. The cultivars were...

drought is the most restricting factor in agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions. this research was conducted on 19 facultative and winter wheat genotypes grown under normal irrigation (n), early post-anthesis (s1), and late post-anthesis (s2) drought stress conditions. the experiments were conducted at karadj, arak, and jolgehrokh agricultural research stations in iran, during 2...

In the current study, a set of 96 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) at F8, derived from a cross between two varieties, Anbarbu (sensitive to drought stress) and Sepidroud (tolerant to drought stress) were used. The experiment was performed at Gonbad Kavous located in the Golestan province of Iran in 2010–2011 using two augmented designs at normal and stress conditions, separately. The RIL populati...

The plant-specific NAC transcription factors play important roles in plant response to drought stress. Here, we have compared the expression levels of a subset of GmNAC genes in drought-tolerant DT51 and drought-sensitive MTD720 under both normal and drought stress conditions aimed at identifying correlation between GmNAC expression levels and drought tolerance degree, as well as potential GmNA...

To examine the genetic variation for drought stress in chamomile, eight accessions belonging to four species were evaluated under both field and greenhouse conditions using normal and late season drought stress. In the field experiment drought stress were initiated with irrigation cease at the commencement of flowering time. In greenhouse experiment, irrigation carried out at flower initiation ...

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...
