Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent reduction in wheat grain yield under limited moisture conditions. The effect of 3 PGRs including cycocel, salicylic acid and brassinoestroeid on yield and yield components of  four wheat cultivars (Chamran, Shiroudi, Pishtaz and Sirvan) under well watered and water stress (withheld irrigation after flowering) was examined. The experiment was ca...

This study was conducted to evaluate intra-chromosome and inter hemeologous variations of grain yield and its components using two wheat substitution lines series including substitution lines of ‘Timstein’ into genetic background of ‘Chinese Spring’ and substitution lines of ‘Red Egyptian’ into genetic background of ‘Chinese Spring’ and their parents in a randomized complete block design with f...

One of the plant breeding strategies for increasing zinc content of wheat grain is employing natural genetic variability of this trait. To investigate genetic variation of traits related to zinc efficiency among Iranian spring wheat cultivars and determining the relationship between these traits and grain yield and its components, two separate experiments were conducted based on randomized comp...

This experiment was carried out at the Agricultural Research Station of Bu-Ali Sina University to study the effect of different tillage methods on bulk density, yield, and yield components of barley (Hordeum vulgare) cultivars under rainfed conditions. Three levels of tillage (CT: conventional tillage, MT: minimum tillage and NT: no tillage) and five barely cultivars (V1: Local V2: AbidarV3: ...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Wheat is one of the most important crops in the world that plays a key role in ensuring food security. In wheat breeding programs, selection of genotypes with desirable agronomic traits and high yield potential have always been the goal of plant breeders. Increasing the selection efficiency for grain yield depends on genetic knowledge from morpholo...

   In order to evaluate the productivity potential of some bread wheat varieties and promising lines under no-till rainfed condition two different on-farm trials were conducted in cold (Sonqor) and warm (Sarpol-e Zahab) regions of Kermanshah province during 2017-18 cropping season. In the cold condition, 12 winter genotypes and in the warm condition 32 spring genotypes were evaluated for grain ...

In order to study of variation and correlation between yields and yield components in oilseed rape, an experiment was designed using line×tester method. Fifteen hybrid derived from crosses of three spring type and high yielding testers (SPN34, RGS003, SPN1) with five spring lines with moderate yield (SPN3, SPN9, SPN36, SPN30, DH4) were tested using a randomized complete blocks design with two r...

In order to evaluate the effects of plant densities (10, 13, 20 and 40 plant/m2 ) on the yield and yield components of two cultivars (Partow, Gohar) and a line (VC-1973A) of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] a field experiment was conducted at the Seed and Plant Improvement Institute (SPII) of Karaj in Summer 1998. This research carried out in a factorial experiment based on Randomized Comp...
