Water is vital for plant growth and development. Water-deficit stress, permanent or
temporary, limits the growth and the distribution of natural vegetation and the performance of …

Water is vital for plant growth, development and productivity. Permanent or temporary water
deficit stress limits the growth and distribution of natural and artificial vegetation and the …

Water stress strongly affects horticultural cultivars, reducing yield and fruit quality. Also the
physiological functions of the plant are altered by this stress, due fundamentally to the …

Field experiments were conducted during two rainy seasons to study the effect of soil
moisture deficit on total biomass, pod yield, harvest index (HI) and drought tolerance index …

Previous studies report conflicting results regarding the sensitivity of cowpeas (Vigna
ungiculata (L.) Walp.) to growth stage water deficits. A field study was designed to monitor …

Gibberellins (GAs) have been shown to be involved in the tolerance of plants to a range of
environmental stresses. However, the physiological and metabolic implications of altered …

The influence of Arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF)(Glomus deserticola and Gigaspora
gigantea) were evaluated on drought tolerance and charcoal rot disease of cowpea …

The effects of water stress were investigated in two Tunisian Medicago truncatula
populations collected from arid (Mt-173) and sub-humid (Mt-664) climates and two Tunisian …

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) production in Argentina is affected by frequent and
unpredictable periods of water deficit that usually overlap the critical period for pod set of …

Drought at pod filling can severely reduce yield of peanut. Better root systems can reduce
yield loss from drought. However, the relationship of root characters with yield under …
