sericulture has played a very important role in the socio-economic empowerment of rural and semi-urban population. the eco-friendly nature of the industry, in addition to its employment generation potential, low investments and frequent returns, has rendered the industry as one of the most suitable land based economic activity, particularly in the context of global movement against environmenta...

in order to evaluate the utilization ability of drought resistance indices such as: yield index (yi), yield stability index (ysi), stress susceptibility index (ssi), tolerance (tol), mean productivity (mp), geometric mean productivity (gmp) and stress tolerance index (sti) in sunflower hybrids, three separate experiments were conducted as randomized complete block design at the research field o...

drought stress is considered as the most important environmental abiotic stress, affecting grain yield of crop plants especially in arid and semi arid regions. increasing and utilization of the genetic diversity can be a useful strategy in breeding for drought resistance. in this study, twenty iranian durum wheat landraces along with two check cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete b...

in order to evaluate the best drought resistance indices in sugar beetgenotypes, an experiment was conducted in 2002 using a split- plot design within randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm, shiraz-zarghan. the main plots consisted of three irrigated regimes: non stress, 75% (mid stress) and 50% (intense stress) non stress and the ten genotypes as the sub ...

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 evaluation the effect of drought stress on germination indices and early seedling growth of medicinal herb dill (anethum graveolens l), an experiment was conducted in the agricultural laboratory of urmia payam noor university in 2015 as a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments were five levels of drought stress (0, -1, -2, -3 and -4 bar induced by polyet...

Objective Antenatal anxiety or maternal stress is a prevalent chronic mental disorder in pregnant women. We assessed the effect of maternal stress because of positive aneuploidy screening results on the alteration of uterine artery’s blood flow. MaterialsAndMethods A prospective cohort (one sample) study as a pilot study was done at a hospital in Tehran. Sixty pregnant women who were candidates...
