This research was aimed to investigate the populations of Fortuynia bongei in a complete blocks design with three replications in field conditions. Treatments included the populations of Fortuynia bongei collected from Sirch, Koohpayeh, Zarand, Bam and Baghin. The traits including vegetation cover, forage yield, and seed yield were recorded. Data were analyzed by SPSS software and mean comparisons were performed by Duncan's Multiple Range Test. The results of ANOVA showed significant differences among the populations of Fortuynia bongei collected in this study. According to the results of mean comparisons, the highest percentage was recorded for the Koohpayeh population and the Bam population had the highest yield and seed production. So, these tow population could be recommended for the range lands rehabilitation projects in this area.

Environmental stress especially drought is one of the most important factors to reduce and disturbance in different stages of floral growth especially sprouting in dry and semi-dry lands of Iran. For this purpose a factorial essay executed in accidentally manner with four iterations in vitro condition. Four genotypes of Bromus tomentellus pasture types were used (92 Tehran, 630 Kordestan, 3414 Shahrekord and 9507 Lorestan) and four drought care (-3, -6 and -9 times distilled water). In this essay the sprouting percentage, Root length, Shoot length, Seedling length, Root length to Shoot length rate, Seedling dry weight, Seedling fresh weight, dry to fresh weight rate sprouting rate and seed health index were determined. The result showed that the with stress drought increase, all attributes except the dry weight to fresh weight proportion reduced significantly. The reduction in all under assessment properties were from -3 to -6 in potential. In general, in tested genotypes, Lorestan (9507) genotype showed a better sprouting in under study potentials and had a meaningful preference to other genotypes. From assessed parameters, Seedling length and seed index standard showed the most possible reaction to changing potential of water. The best levels to assess the stability to drought were the -6 and -9 load potentials in all drought levels.
