Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses influencing performance of crop plants. Therefore, the identification or development of tolerant genotypes is of high importance for incorporating in cotton production. In this study to evaluate the effect of drought stress on some cotton traits, 5 improved cotton varieties were studied in a split plot design with three replications i...

to study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and oil percentage of goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the agricultural research farm station of islamic azad university, roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. in ...

the present study was designed to evaluate the drought tolerance of new sugar beet monogerm hybrids using polyethylene glycol 6000, under in vitro condition. the experiment was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications in sugar beet seed institute, karaj in 2013. 23 new sugar beet monogerm hybrids with two tolerant and normal controls wer...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect  of irrigation period on the quality and quantity of yield and some morphological and physiological traits of three multigerm sugar beet genotypes named BP Mashhad, BP Karaj and 191. The experiment was in a split  plot  based on randomized complete block  design , carried out  at Motahari Research station of Sugar beet Seed Research Institute ...

abstract in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and defoliation on sunflower, a study was conducted under controlled conditions. treatments were a combination of three levels of drought ((100, 60 and 30 percent of field capacity (fc)) and three levels of defoliation (control, removal of either 4 or 6 leaves from lower part of the plant) laid out, in a completely randomized design wi...

water stress is one of the main factors affecting the quantity and quality properties of sugar beet. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of irrigation management on quality and quantity of sugar beet. the present research was conducted in motahary station of sugar beet seed institute,karajin two years, 2005 and 2006. the experiment was based on split plot design, in which e...

rapid germination is an important factor determining the final yield. the most important abiotic stress threatening lentils is drought and temperature. therefore, this study was performed with the aim of investigating effects various thermal treatments (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30°c) and four levels of drought (0, -4, -8, -12 and -16 bar) on percentage and germination rate of lentil genotypes. a s...

understanding the physiological processes associated with drought stress lead to an understanding of the basic mechanisms of resistance, maintaining yield potential and contribute to the identification of drought tolerant cultivars. for this purpose, the effects of drought stress in cowpea genotypes was evaluated using five different genotypes with different yield potential in a pot experiment ...
