Drought stress is considered a severe threat to crop production. It adversely affects the
morpho-physiological, biochemical and molecular functions of the plants, especially in short …

Seeds of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench.] were submitted
to different osmotic potential levels induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) with the objective …

Twenty different accessions of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor var Moench) were evaluated for
their genetic potential to drought tolerance at seedling stage. Water stress was simulated by …

Drought is one of the main environmental factors affecting growth and yield of sorghum in
arid and semi-arid areas of the world. In vitro selection of Sorghum bicolor for drought …

Drought adversely affects growth and yield of crops to various extents. Growing of drought
tolerant crops is a good option to obtain economical yields from water stress areas for which …

Drought is one the critical abiotic factors that reduces the germination, growth and yield of
crops. Therefore the present project was designed with the objective to screen the best …

Tolerance to abiotic stress is an important agronomic trait in crops and is controlled by many
genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs). As abiotic stresses significantly affect grain yield, it is …

This study was conducted to determine genotypic variation among sorghum cultivars grown
under similar ecological conditions for seed vigor, salt (NaCl) and drought stresses. A …

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is a multiuse crop grown for feed, food and bioenergy. Sorghum
can be cultivated in numerous environments due to its wider adaptation property. Sorghum …

Stress is any external factor that interferes with the normal functioning and growth of crops.
Abiotic stress has been extensively studied for causing devastating loss to agronomic crop …
