drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses which can affect the growth of a plant, thereby curbing crop yield. identification of effective morphological traits is the main aim of each breeding program. our objective was to identify agronomic traits associated with changes in grain yield of wheat under irrigated and drought conditions. to address this objective, grain yield and...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacing progesterone injections by progesterone vaginal inserts on productive and reproductive parameters of lactating cows with reproductive problems after prolonged periods of heat stress. fifteen holstein cows were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: 1) treated with two progesterone vaginal inserts (p4-ins); 2) treated with prog...

in order to investigate effective morpho-physiological traits related to salinity resistance, and their relationship with grain yield as well as study of salinity tolerance and susceptibility indices in 169 barley recombinant inbred lines, a  population of barley derived from a cross between arigashar and igri, this experiments were carried out using alpha lattice design with two replications d...

in order to assess the performance of two soybean cultivars produced in two regions including karaj and moghan to drought stress at reproductive stages and also the impact of drought stress on yield and its components, oil and protein percent, an experiment was conducted as a split factorial based on complete randomized block design in three replications in agriculture faculty of tarbiat modare...

We propose a new view on yield stress materials. Dense suspensions and many other materials have a yield stress-they flow only if a large enough shear stress is exerted on them. There has been an ongoing debate in the literature on whether true yield stress fluids exist, and even whether the concept is useful. This is mainly due to the experimental difficulties in determining the yield stress. ...

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), ...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...
