[ 1 ] - Monitoring Response of a Few bZip Transcription Factors in Response to Osmotic Stress in Sunflower
Background: Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the important vegetable oil supplies in the world and in Iran, as well. It is classified as a drought semi-tolerant crop; however, its yield is adversely affected by drought stress. Understanding the initial events in sensing stress and the related physiologic and biochemical events thereafter, is crucial in designing droug...
[ 2 ] - Gene-Based Marker to Differentiate Among B, A, and R Lines in Hybrid Production of Rapeseed Ogura System
Background: In plant breeding program to produce hybrid varieties, pair of male sterile and restorer fertility lines are required. Differentiation of lines possessing restorer fertility allele from the lines lacking it remove the need for the progeny test, and thus reducing the time and the cost in the hybrid production procedure. Canola breeding program in Iran has concentrate...
[ 3 ] - Determination of haplotype variation and relationship between desirable agronomic traits and microsatellite alleles on chromosomes 4B and 7D in bread wheat
The aim of this study was to determine the haplotype groups and identify the specific alleles associated with desirable agronomic characteristics in bread wheat. For this purpose, 42 local bread wheat genotypes belong to Iran region and nine commercial cultivars along with Chinese Spring variety (reference genotype) were cultivated in the format of augmented design and evaluated based on their ...
