genetic variation and agronomic evaluation of chickpea cultivars for grain yield and its components under irrigated and rainfed growing conditions
Authors
abstract
water deficit is an important factor limiting crop growth all over the world. in order to evaluate genetic variation, heritability and the interrelationship between agronomic traits, twenty chickpea genotypes were cultivated in two separated randomized complete block experiments with three replications under normal irrigated and rainfed conditions. the experiments were carried out at the agricultural research station of razi university, kermanshah, iran, in the 2004-2005 growing season. under normal conditions, plants were irrigated at stem elongation, pod appearance and pod filling stages. in rainfed conditions, no irrigation treatment was applied. the results revealed that the genotypes s95274 under irrigated and x95th69 in rainfed conditions had the highest number of pods per plants (npp), number of seeds per plant (nsp) and grain yield. the genotypes x96th54 and x95th69 produced relatively high grain yield compared to other genotypes in both conditions. the highest genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation in irrigated (32.61% and 34.67%, respectively) and in rainfed conditions (47.88% and 49.39%, respectively) and also the highest estimation of heritability in both conditions (88% and 93%, respectively) belonged to grain yield. in rainfed growing conditions, the correlations between grain yield and its components were significantly positive while in irrigated conditions grain yield showed significant correlation with npp (r=0.50) and nsp (r=0.49). according to the results of path analysis, the highest direct (0.99 and 0.73 in irrigated and rainfed conditions, respectively) and indirect effects (0.89 in irrigated and 0.71 in rainfed experiments) on grain yield belonged to nsp and npp respectively. based on cluster analysis method, genotypes were classified into three and four groups in irrigated and rainfed conditions, respectively. it can be concluded that the npp and nsp traits could be used as selection criteria for grain yield improvement in both conditions in chickpea breeding programs.

The interrelationships of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) kernel yield and its components under rainfed conditions
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a native crop of Asia which is grown worldwide including Iran.In this study,different selection criteria including correlation,regression and path analysis were used to improve yield.The experimental design was split plot with RCBD replicated four times in which three sowing dates (5 January,4 February,and 5 March) were used in main plots and four genotypes;two ...
full textEvaluation 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...

Genome-wide association for grain yield under rainfed conditions in historical wheat cultivars from Pakistan
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were undertaken to identify SNP markers associated with yield and yield-related traits in 123 Pakistani historical wheat cultivars evaluated during 2011-2014 seasons under rainfed field conditions. The population was genotyped by using high-density Illumina iSelect 90K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assay, and finally 14,960 high quality SNPs were us...
