to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the traits which could be used as the selection index for increasing of grain yield, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between norstar and zagros cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. the measured characters consisted of peduncle weight, ...

seed production, as well as other economical and ecological attributes, is an important character in grasses. knowledge on the genetic diversity of seed yield and yield components on iranian tall fescue accessions, as a high productive and adaptive grass is limited. this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity of seed yield and seed components, determine relationships betw...

Plant diurnal oscillation is a 24-hour period based variation. The correlation between diurnal genes and biological pathways was widely revealed by microarray analysis in different species. Rice (Oryza sativa) is the major food staple for about half of the world's population. The rice flag leaf is essential in providing photosynthates to the grain filling. However, there is still no comprehensi...

in order to investigate the effects of applying three and five continuous periods of municipal solid waste (msw) with and without npk chemical fertilizer on the amount of micronutrient uptake by different parts of wheat, a pot experiment was conducted in split plot based on randomized complete block design with four replications in 2009. the main plot was a six-fertilizers level including contr...

Previous studies with 95 bread wheat doubled haploid lines (DHLs) from the cross Chinese Spring (CS)xSQ1 trialled over 24 yearxtreatmentxlocations identified major yield quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in homoeologous locations on 7AL and 7BL, expressed mainly under stressed and non-stressed conditions, respectively. SQ1 and CS contributed alleles increasing yield on 7AL and 7BL, respectively. T...

Segregating F4 families from the cross between drought sensitive (Yecora Rojo) and drought tolerant (Pavon 76) genotypes were made to identify SSR markers linked to leaf chlorophyll content, flag leaf senescence and cell membrane stability traits in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under water-stressed condition and to map quantitative trait locus (QTL) for the three physiological traits. The paren...

in order to providing selection indices using heritability and correlation effective traits on yield and multiple regression an experiment was conducted by 265 f3 families as well as parents and f1 related to gharib × khazar population in 2009 at gonbad high education center fields. days to repining (0.97) and panicle number and flag leaf length (0.66) had maximum and minimum heritability, resp...

with increasing the world population, and needing to feed it, the yield enhancement of cereals crops is of the most important approaches meet this target, which is achieved via identifying the effective factors underlay yield of cereals like wheat. this experiment was conducted to evaluate the grain yield and its association with some contributed traits in a doubled-haploid (dh) wheat populatio...

The transcriptomes of senescing flag leaves collected from barley field plots with standard or high nitrogen supply were compared to identify genes specifically associated with nitrogen remobilization during leaf senescence under agronomically relevant conditions. In flag leaves collected in field plots with high nitrogen supply, the decline in chlorophyll content was delayed. By comparing chan...
