in order to study the sink-source physiological relationship, current photosynthesis, contribution and remobilization of assimilates to grain yield in wheat and triticale genotypes, a field experiment was conducted in iran, ahvaz area on 2003-4. treatments were two bread wheat (simareh and tawer), one durum wheat (showa) and two triticale (juvanillo92 and line 45) genotypes. grain weight change...

this experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three ‎replications with 10 barley cultivars in dryland research station of northern khorasan (shirvan) ‎in 2004-2005 growing season. results indicated that there was significant differences among the ‎lines in terms of the stand percentage, days to emergence, days to heading, days to maturity, plant ‎height, number of ...

The effect of flooding can be a serious problem for wheat farmers, even at dry land condition. Amount of flooding damage depends on duration flooding, developmental stage, wheat type and variety. Therefore as a factorial experiment in randomized complete design based on winter bread wheat cultivars (Pishtaz, Marvdasht, Shiraz, Zarin, Shahriar, C-81-4, Sardari, Agosta seed, FGS and Azar2) at sta...

Selection of parents based on their combining ability is an effective approach in hybrid breeding. In this study, eight maintainer lines and nine restorer lines were used to obtain 72 crosses for analyzing the general combining ability (GCA) and special combining ability (SCA) for seven agronomic and yield characters including plant height (PH), spike length excluding awns (SL), inter-node leng...

The present study was carried out to estimate genetic variability parameters for some traits such as pods per plant, cell membrane stability, one thousand kernel weight, flowering period, grain filling period, chlorophyll content, relative water content, leaf excised water content, seed per pod and pod length, in 16 winter rapeseed genotypes. Statistical analysis showed significant differences ...

this study was aimed to assess the effects of excess boron on 59 genetically divergent wheat accessions and to identify those with high and stable yields under a range of soil boron concentrations. the second aim was to test the applicability of a laboratory technique performed at juvenile stages of development in estimating field boron tolerance. the study comprised a control and three boron t...

Small or shrivelled wheat kernels (screenings) that reduce crop value are commonly produced in terminal drought environments. The aim of this study was to establish whether the incorporation of the tiller inhibition (tin) gene would contribute to maintenance of kernel weight and reductions in screenings under terminal water deficit. Five Silverstar near-isogenic lines contrasting in high and lo...

introduction drought stress as the most important abiotic stress plays an important role in yield reduction of crops worldwide. considering the extends and problems caused by the moisture stress, agronomic and breeding strategies in reducing yield loss are essential. in this regard, the identification and selection of effective characteristics of wheat under drought stress in increasing yield, ...
