        Over use of water and unnecessary limitation irrigation water, both affects economic production of corn. Therefore, it is necessary to use different irrigation regimes in order to determine the most suitable irrigation interval with minimum effect on yield. To study the effect of different irrigation regimes on forage and grain yield of three varieties of maize, an experiment was carried out at the Research Center of Khoy, a province of west Azarbaijan, in 2008. The experiment was carried out with four replications in an form of split plot based on randomized complete block design. The main plot consisted of four levels of irrigation intervals (I1, I2, I3 and I4) of corn plots, irrigated after 60, 90, 120 and 150 (mm) evapotranspiration pan. Subplots consisted of three varieties of corn (SC704, Maxima524, Jeta600). In this experiment, different features of maize varieties were analyzed and measured at milk stage (R3) as forage. Results showed that by increasing irrigation cycle and as a result decreasing water using in four levels of irrigation, traits like forage yield, ear weight, plant height, stem and leaf weight, ear leaf area and relative water content have decrease in treatment according to decrease in water used. Among three the varieties under study, Maxima524 due to lower growing period as compared to the other two varieties, used low water volumes while yielded equal to the other two varieties. Overall, results showed that Maxima524 based on irrigation after 90 mm evaporation is found to be low water user against optimal performance. Manuscript profile

        In order to study the effects of irrigation and abscisic acid regime on physiological factors and gas exchanges of Lavandula angustifolia CV. Organic Munestead, a pot experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications at Plant Production faculty of Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, during growing season of 2016- 17. The treatments were four levels of irrigation regimes (30-40, 50-60, 70-80 and 90-100 percent field capacity) and Abscisic acid including three levels (0, 15 and 30 Mm/L). The results showed that irrigation regimes increase chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll a+b, gas exchange and RWC. Abscisic acid had significant effect on all traits except of carotenoid content that except to efficiency of water consumption was Abscisic acid 15 Mm/L, the others were the highest in Abscisic acid 30 Mm/L. Also interaction effect of irrigation regimes and Abscisic acid was significant for all traits except of chlorophyll a+b. Abscisic acid 15 Mm/L spray and irrigation regimes 30-40 percent field capacity increase 25.04 and 38,75 in efficiency of leaf water consumption and efficiency of water consumption, respectively. Generally, Abscisic acid 15 Mm/L application and irrigation regimes 30-40 percent field capacity Introduces the best treatment, due to the lower consumption of water and the use of Abscisic acid in stress conditions, higher levels of Abscisic acid can be achieved in inducing drought tolerance.

        Water stress is the main limitation in the production of many crops and causes many physiological and morphological reactions in plants. This problem has been observed in different cultivars of the same species, including soybeans. The aim of this research was to study the effect of water stress on water relations, proline content and morphological characteristics of two soybean cultivars including Pershing and DPX. For this purpose, an experiment was carried out in pots and water treatments of 80 (flooded), 60, 40 and 20% (dry) of the water saturation capacity of the soil were applied on them. The results of the studies showed a significant difference in the measured measurements in two soybean cultivars. In both cultivars, reducing the amount of irrigation caused a decrease in plant height and root length, and in the flooding treatment, it was associated with a significant increase in misplaced roots. In the Pershing variety, the decrease in the amount of irrigation led to a decrease in the relative amount of water (RWC), but in the DPX variety, the lowest amount of RWC was observed in the 40% treatment. Leaf water loss (LWL) was higher in all treatments in Pershing variety than similar treatments in DPX variety. The highest amount of proline in leaves and roots was related to treatments with lower RWC, which was observed in Pershing and DPX cultivars in 20% and 40% treatments, respectively. In both cultivars, the amount of proline amino acid was higher in the leaves than in the root. The results showed that in both cultivars, leaves were more affected by water stress than roots, and Pershing cultivar showed more sensitivity in low water levels. Manuscript profile

        In order to evaluate the response of selected cultivars of almond, grafted on different rootstocks under drought stress due to increased irrigation intervals in the 2015-2016 year, in the Temperate Fruit Research Center, Horticultural Research Institute in Karaj, a factorial based on a randomized complete design with three replications was carried out. Factors comprised cultivars in five levels (Supernova, Texas, Marcona, Shokoufeh and K13-40), rootstocks in Three levels [peaches × almonds hybrids (GF-677 and GN-22), and bitter almond seedlings NO. 32], and drought stress in four levels (irrigation intervals were 3(Control), 5, 10 and 15 Days). The results showed that the interaction of three factors for chlorophyll fluorescence parameters include maximum (Fm), variable (Fv) and variable to maximum (Fv/Fm), electrolyte leakage and releate water content(RWC) of leaves at 1% probability level, and interaction effects of rootstock × cultivar for chlorophyll b and a/b as well as cultivar × drought stress for a/b were significant at 5% probability level. Also, interaction effects of rootstock × drought stress were significant for all evaluated traits except a/b at 1% probability level. Drought stress reduced Fv by increasing Fo and decreasing Fm, and reduced Fv/Fm in sensitive cultivars on seedling and GN-22 rootstocks from 0.82 to 0.67. As a general result, all of the cultivars on the GF-677 rootstock showed greater resistance to drought stress. Supernova and Shokofeh cultivars grafted on GF-677 rootstock were most resistant rootstock - scion compounds, but other rootstock-scions compounds, were sensitive to drought stress.

        Drought is the most important environmental stress in agriculture and improving yield maize under drought is a major goal of plant breeding. In order to evalutiaon 15 hybrids under normal and water stress regimes (irrigated after 90±5 and 135±5 mm evaporation from class A pan for normal and water stress conditions, respectively), a study was conducted at Dezful in Khuzestan Province, during 2014 growing seasons, using RCBD with three replications. The results of the variance analysis showed that differences among the genotypes, in terms of all indices and yield in normal and drought stress conditions were significant. Highly significant correlations were found between the grain yield and some physiological traits in drought stress condition, such as RWC and root weight, So these traits can be reliable criteria for the selection of tolerant genotypes with prospect to higher yields. Results of correlation between defferente drought tolerance indices with grain yield in both conditions (normal and water stress) showed that MP, GMP and STI were a successful index to select high yield and tolerante genotypes. Based on this indices and the results of the biplot diagram and cluster analysis the crosses SD/17×SD/15, SD/3×SD/17, CML×SD/3 and CML×SD/17 had the best drought tolerance and the crosses SD/10×SD/704, SD/15×SD/704 and SD/17×SD/10 were high sensitivity to drought and can be identified as the most sensitive hybrids to drought.

          Sensitivity to water deficit a few days before the heads emergence up to complete color change of grains is too much in sunflower. But the most sensitive stage to water deficit is at anthesis level. As a result, decrease in leaf area is the first reaction that a plant choose to adapt the storage of received water; this way is the most important mechanism of plant adaption to water deficit stress. In order to analyze the effects of defoliation on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of randomized complete blocks. The main plot was designed at four levels including the normal irrigation (S1), no irrigation from floret to flowering (S2), no irrigation from flowering to first stage o grain filling (S3), and no irrigation from first stages of grain filling to physiological maturity (S4). And the sub plot was designed at three level of on defoliation (F1), 25% defoliation (F2), and 50% defoliation. The results indicated that the main effect of no irrigation was significant an all factors under study including grain yield , biological yield , oil content, cytoplasm membrane resistance , Relative water content (RWC) , total chlorophyll, and proline. The main effect of defoliation was significant on all factors except for grain yield and biological yield. But, the interaction effect of no irrigation stress and defoliation was not significant on the factors under study. No irrigation at flowering to grain filling could decrease the grain yield to 44% comparing the normal irrigation. Also, under the same condition, the amount of proline increased significantly and reached 56.8 m mol / g; that is 49% more than normal irrigation condition. Moreover, 50% defoliation could increase the total chlorophyll and RWC significantly.   Manuscript profile
