چکیده

The research work was carried out to evaluate and compare the growth performance and productivity of a strain of silkworm, Bombyx mori (EC1) fed with three different varieties of mulberry plant (K2, S-36 and E-Lobe).The experiment was carried out at ambient conditions 37oC and 55% R.H. The parameters used to evaluate the growth performance were larval length, width and weight while the characters used for productivity include shell weight, cocoon weight, shell ratio , filament weight ,length, denir and number of breaks. The result revealed that the performance of mulberry leaves varied from each other and that silkworms fed with S-36 variety performed significantly higher in terms of growth and productivity. The next variety to it is the K2 and followed by E-lobe variety.

Evaluation of drought tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars and recombinant inbred lines

In order to study the adaptation of rice lines to drought stress and to identify the tolerant and sensitive lines, 150 pure lines in RIL population each derived from a cross between two Iranian rice varieties Gharib and Sepidroud were investigated. Augment design based on the randomized complete block design (RCBD) was used with 6 check cultivars and 4 replications in 2013-2014 growing season. ...

Evaluation of rain-fed wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes for drought tolerance

Drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses that have limited the production of wheat, especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. To recognize drought tolerant rain-fed wheat genotypes and to determine the best tolerance/susceptibility indices, a study was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station of Miandoab for two cropping years (2013-15). The experime...

Evaluation of grain yield and repeatability of drought tolerance indices for screening chickpea (Cicer aritinum L.) genotypes under rainfed conditions

In order to identify drought tolerant chickpea genotypes, an experiment was conducted in the west of Iran, during 2007-2009 cropping seasons. Several selection indices were used to illustrate genotypic differences in response to drought stress. The results of combined analysis of variance showed that year, genotype, stress conditions and their interaction effects were highly significant. Correl...
