To improve crop productivity, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of plant responses to drought conditions with the ultimate goal of improving crop performance in the vast areas of the world where rainfall is limiting or unreliable. Safaei Chaeikar et al. (2008) reported that MP, GMP, HM and STI indices, which showed the highest correlation with grain yield under both optimal and stress conditions, can be used as the best indices to introduce drought-tolerant genotypes in rice breeding programs. They also were introduced Nemat, Sepidrood, IR64, IR50 and Bejar genotypes as tolerant varieties. The present study was conducted to determine how drought affects grain yield in rice mutant lines and also to test this hypothesis in order to identify the most suitable indices/genotypes. Materials and Methods A field trial was conducted at Iranian Rice Research Centers in North of Iran, Rasht (latitude 37◦28', longitude 49◦28'E and altitude 7m below the sea level), during the 2014-2015 growing season. The seeds were sown in a nursery on the 10 May and 25 day old seedlings were transplanted to the field. Two separately experiment was carried out under reproductive stage drought stress and controlled conditions based on randomized complete block design with three replications, in four-row plots of three m length. Transplanting was done using 1 seedling per hill; at hill spacing of 25 cm × 25 cm. 18 rice genotypes were consisted 14 M5 mutant lines and their four parental cultivars. Results and Discussion Analysis of variance indicated significant effects of drought stress, genotype and interaction effects of two factors on grain yield, plant height, flag leaf area, tiller number and grain fertility percentage. Drought stress at reproductive stage caused reduction in grain yield (59.47%), grain fertility percentage (19.08%), plant height (9.35%), flag leaf area (8.59%) and panicle length (1.61%). Different drought indices probably measure similar aspect of drought tolerance/resistance. Significant yield reduction was observed under drought stress in majority of the rice genotypes studied. Drought tolerance indices were varied significantly indicating genotypic variability. Selection based on these stress tolerance indices will results in identification of drought tolerant genotypes for rainfed ecosystems. The stress tolerance index (STI), mean productivity (MP), geometric mean productivity (GMP) and harmonic mean (HM) were superior in genotype indicating that they can be used as alternative for each other to select drought tolerant genotypes with high yield performance in both stress and non-stress conditions. To determine the most desirable drought tolerance criteria, the correlation coefficients between Yp, Ys and other quantitative indices of drought tolerance were calculated. The results indicated that there were positive and significant correlations among Yp and MP, GMP, STI and HM. There were also significant and positive correlation between Ys and YI,HM,GMP,YSI,STIandMP. In this experiment, the principal component analysis was performed on eight indices and grain yield under stress and non-stress in 18 rice genotypes. Results showed that the first two components explained 82.8% and 17% of total variation, respectively. The relationship between principal components and studied indices showed that the higher values of first and the lower values of second components were related to drought tolerance and sensitivity to stress, respectively. Selection based on a combination of indices may provide a more useful criterion for improving rice drought-tolerant lines; therefore, studies of correlation coefficients are useful in finding out the degree of overall linear association between any two attributes. According to these drought stress indices, G1, G2, G3, G4 and G5 (M5 mutant lines of local lanrace, Tarom) and (M5 mutant line of Hashemi) were as drought tolerant and G14 (mutant lines of Khazar), G15 (Hashemi), G16 (Khazar) and G17 (Tarom) were sensitive to drought stress. Conclusions Results of present study showed that MP, GMP, YI and STI are best indices for selecting and specifying of rice tolerant genotypes in arid areas. The use of mutation caused drought resistant on the progenies and the above lines can be used in a project of introduction of drought tolerant rice varieties.}, keywords = {grain yield,Mutant line,Principal Components Analysis,Reproductive stage}, title_fa = {ارزیابی پاسخ به تنش خشکی در برخی از لاین‌‌های موتانت برنج با استفاده از شاخص‌های تحمل به تنش}, abstract_fa = {مجموعه‌ای از 18 ژنوتیپ برنج شامل 14 لاین موتانت M5 و چهار رقم والدینی آنها تحت تنش خشکی در مرحله زایشی و بدون تنش در دو آزمایش جداگانه به‌صورت طرح بلوک‌های کامل تصادفی با سه تکرار در موسسه تحقیقات برنج کشور، رشت در سال زراعی 94-1393 مورد بررسی قرار گرفتند. نتایج تجزیه واریانس نشان داد که اثر خشکی، ژنوتیپ و اثرمتقابل دو فاکتور بر صفات عملکرد دانه، ارتفاع بوته، مساحت برگ پرچم، تعداد پنجه و درصد باروری دانه معنی‌دار بود. تنش خشکی در مرحله زایشی باعث کاهش عملکرد دانه (47/59%)، درصد باروری دانه (08/19%)، ارتفاع بوته (35/9%)، مساحت برگ پرچم (59/8%) و طول خوشه (61/1%) شد. شاخص تحمل به تنش (STI)، میانگین بهره‌وری (MP)، میانگین هندسی بهره‌وری (GMP) و میانگین هارمونیک (HM) به‌عنوان شاخص‌های برتر بودند و از آنها برای معرفی ژنوتیپ‌های مقاوم و یا متحمل به تنش خشکی و با عملکرد بالا در شرایط دارای تنش خشکی و بدون تنش استفاده شد. با توجه به شاخص‌های مذکور، ژنوتیپ‌های 1، 2، 3، 4 و 5 (لاین‌های موتانت M5 از رقم طارم محلی) و (لاین موتانت M5 از رقم هاشمی) متحمل به تنش خشکی و ژنوتیپ‌های 14 (لاین موتانت از رقم خزر)، 15 (هاشمی)، 16 (خزر) و 17 (طارم) حساس به تنش خشکی شناسایی شدند. بنابراین موتاسیون سبب ایجاد تحمل به تنش خشکی در نتاج شده است و لذا می‌توان از لاین‌های فوق در پروژه‌‌های معرفی ارقام مقاوم یا متحمل به خشکی استفاده نمود.}, keywords_fa = {تجزیه مؤلفه‌های اصلی,لاین موتانت,عملکرد دانه,مرحله زایشی}, url = {https://jcesc.um.ac.ir/article_38102.html}, eprint = {https://jcesc.um.ac.ir/article_38102_2ea9f5b9e8524cb0d81e739b901edc57.pdf} }
