A field study was carried out at the Al-Maraiah Research Station of the Agricultural Scientific Research Center in Deir ez-Zor, the General Authority for Scientific Agricultural Research, during the 2009, 2010, and 2011 agricultural seasons, to evaluate the response of some cultivars of maize to withstand water stress during the flowering and grain filling stages.

This study was carried out at the Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus University, and ACSAD during the year 2001 – 2002 in order to assess the genetic variability of twenty wheat genotypes for osmotic stress tolerance by using PEG-6000 as a water str ess induced tool. This trial aimed to develop a semi-natural rapid and effective screening technique in which the optimum induction as well as lethal levels of osmotic stress are well defined . The results revealed that the treatments –0.4 MPa and –1.5 MPa were the optimum induction and lethal levels of osmotic stress, respectively.
This study was carried out to compare the performance of the FAO AquaCrop and CropWat models in simulating the effects of deficit irrigation on cotton crop. The models were calibrated using data from the 2007 growing season of a field study conduc ted to assess deficit irrigation effects on cotton, whereas the models were validated by comparing their outputs for yield and water use (ETc) with the measured values of the two variables in the 2008 and 2009. The relationship between measured and predicted values of yield and ETc revealed that the AquaCrop was better than CropWat in predicting water stress impact on yield and ETc. The linear regression equation for AquaCrop had a small intercept and its slope was very close to unity. The index of agreement (d) was close to one for both models, except its value for ETc in the 2009 year. Both models could reproduce the general trend of the changes in soil water content in the different irrigation levels. Accordingly, the use of AquaCrop instead of CropWat should be encouraged for management and planning of irrigation, since it is a practitioner type model keeps a good balance between output accuracy and simplicity.
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.
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.
This research was conducted at Izraa research station of The General Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research during the growing season 2010/2011 to study the performance of six durum wheat varieties at early growth stage under water defici t stress. The experiment was designed using randomized complete block design with three replication. The statistical analysis results of the experiment clearly showed genetic variations among cultivars under water stress. Drought stress caused a depression in all studied traits. Mean yield decreased in average 31.7 %. The number of spiks/ m2 was the most trait affected by drought stress, It decreased in average 29.1% while biological yield decreased in average 24.26%. It was observed that the number of spikes per m2 was the highest in the variety Hourani (191) and the highest number of grain per spike (34.1) whereas the variety Bohouth7 and the variety hourani recorded the highest thousand grain weight (40.5 g). The statistical analysis results showed that the variety Cha5 a achieved the highest grain yield per m2 (239.4 g), whereas, the variety Bohouth7 recorded the lowest grain yield per m2 (182.8 g), under water deficit stress conditions.
