Determination of the optimum induction and lethal levels of stress are considered the most important prerequisites for the proposed screening technique. This research was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture at Damascus University in the year ٢٠٠٠. The main objective of this investigation was to screen sorghum lines for heat stress tolerance and determine the effectiveness of the proposed technique in screening for this environmental stress at the seedling stage.

Different experiments were conducted under laboratory conditions, at the Faculty of Agriculture – Damascus University, in order to develop a suitable and efficient screening tool, which can be applied to assess the genetic variability among 20 sor ghum genotypes (Izraa series) for high salt stress tolerance. We were able to develop a screening technique involves pre- exposing sorghum seedlings to a sub – lethal level of salinity stress (induction stress) (150 mM NaCl) for 16 hrs which can induce the genotypes to prepare defensive means, which may differ according to the genetic potentiality of each genotype. These protective responses may help the genotype to endure the lethal level of salinity stress (400 mM NaCl) for 48 hrs. At a later stage, the seedlings were transferred to distilled water for 72 hrs and the rate of recovery growth was taken as a criterion to select the highly salt tolerant genotypes by using Zdistribution analysis. Results revealed that genotypes such as: Izraa 10, Izraa 15, and Izraa 18 could be classified as salt tolerant genotypes which showed higher recovery growth and the least growth reduction over the control. Whereas a genotype such as Izraa 22 was grouped as salt sensitive one where the percent growth reduction over the control was greater, indicating that this genotype has low recovery growth ability. Our results suggest that the proposed screening technique is rapid, effective, and match the natural screening.
A hydroponic culture experiment was conducted under the green house conditions, at the general commission of scientific agricultural research, and the faculty of agriculture, Damascus university, during the year 2002-003. The objectives of this in vestigation concentrated on the influence of four salinity levels (0-50-100-150 mM NaCl) on some physiological parameters of eight sorghum genotypes. The experiment was designed in a RCB design with three replications.
Nineteen locally selected potato lines were screened for water stress tolerance by measuring the growth parameters in vitro. The stress was achieved by adding 4% of sorbitol to the growth medium. Plant height and diameter, leaf area, number, lengt h and diameter of roots and plant fresh and dry weight were measured. The results showed a difference in the response of the studied lines to water stress, cluster analysis, based on the sum of all growth parameters relative values of the lines showed that the lines were divided into three groups according to water stress tolerance: The tolerant group, the moderate tolerant group and the sensitive group. The results indicated the possibility to use the in vitro method to screen the potato lines for water stress tolerance.
The study was carried out at Central Highlands Research Farm, in Yemen, during 2014 and 2015 seasons, to study the adaptation of five sorghum varieties introduced from (ICBA) and local variety (white sorghum) against climate changes, to obtain goo d quantity and high forage yield varieties. RCBD design with three replications was used.
An experiment was conducted in Kharabo station which belongs to the faculty of agriculture, Damascus university during the growing season 2009 ! 2010, to evaluate the response of seventeen sorghum genotypes under water stress conditions during the flowering stage according to the randomized complete block design (RCBD), with three replicates.
