continual heat stress affects approximately 7 million hectares of wheat in developing countries, while terminal heat stress is a problem in 40% of temperate environments, which cover 36 million hectares throughout the world. heat tolerance is a quantitative and complex trait that doesn’t have much success in direct selection. for this purpose, however, a thorough understanding of physiological ...

Drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses that have limited the production of wheat, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. To recognize drought tolerant rain-fed wheat genotypes and to determine the best tolerance/susceptibility indices, a study was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Miandoab for two cropping years (2013-15). The experime...

1 Wheat Research Center, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh ABSTRACT. Twenty five spring wheat genotypes were evaluated for terminal heat stress tolerance in field environments in the Agro Ecological Zone-11 of Bangladesh, during 2009-2010 cropping season. The experiments were conducted at Wheat Research Centre, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, using rand...

At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...

in order to study stress tolerance indices and identifying tolerance genotypes to drought stress condition 16 genotypes of durum wheat were assessed in a randomized complete block design with four replications under two irrigated and rainfed conditions in the research station located in west of iran ilam in 2006- 2007. results showed that variation in among durum wheat genotypes under irrigated...

abstract this study was conducted at rudasht research farm in isfahan to evaluate tolerance to zinc (zn) deficiency of 30 spring wheat genotypes, using split plots in a randomized complete blocks design with triplications. main plot consisted of two zn levels (zero and 80 kg zn ha-1 applied as zinc sulfate at planting). the results of anova as well as correlations between tolerance and suscepti...

breeding for environmental stress is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. among stresses, drought stress has high influencing on limitation of wheat production. so, in order to find the best drought tolerant genotypes, 24 genotypes were planted in three separate experiments in ardebil: one with optimum irrigation (control), another with water stress at pre-anthesis stage and the o...
