grapevine rootstocks are of the potential to increase cultivars, adaptation to different climates, soil types and a variety of unfavorable conditions. considering the existence of a rich grapevine germplasm in iran, it is possible to pick up vigorous genotypes and cultivars as drought tolerant rootstocks for commercial use due to their vast genetic potential. in this study, 698 fruitful genotyp...

late-season drought is the major constraint reducing the productivity of chickpea. this experiment was carried out to study response of root and shoot characteristics in 12 chickpea genotypes to drought stress. two-drought stress levels (-3 and -6 bar) induced by peg 6000 and control in hydroponic condition at green house was performed. leaf relative water content (rwc), plant height, number of...

fungal diseases, chocolate spot (botrytis fabae sard) is the most destructive diseases of faba bean and causes considerable dramatic damage losses on faba bean yield worldwide. the levels of resistance to chocolate spot were evaluated in 35 faba bean cultivars and one susceptible check (ilb365) and local check (barkat) at the gorgan agricultural research station during the 2010 and 2011 croppin...

When crops are exposed to drought there is commonly an increase in solute-pool of the plant tissue. A series of experiments were conducted in 1994 and 1995 in the University of Hohenheim, Germany, to evaluate whether drought-induced solute accumulation per se will improve drought resistance, to determine the species of active osmotica involved, and to identify alternative mechanisms in grain le...

to evaluate genetic variation and to study of dry matter remobilization towards seed, 64 bread wheat genotypes were examined in two separated experiments using alpha-latic design of 2 replications during 2002–2003. significant differences observed for most traits in normal and drought conditions. there were considerable variations among genotypes for independent parameters of dry matter remobil...
