in order to study on adaptability and grain yield stability of eight bread wheat cultivars (alvand, alamout, zarrin, navid, azar 2, sabalan, omid and bezostiya), a rcbd experiment was conducted during three cropping seasons (2007-2010) at six locations (sanandaj, gorveh, marivan, divandarreh, saggez and baneh). simple analysis of variance (anova) and combined anova for three years in each locat...

Selection of frost tolerant cultivars and understanding the mechanisms of frost hardiness could help to improve freezing resistance in olive plants. Olive cultivars may differ in frost hardiness due to differential survival of specific organs. The aim of this study was to screen different olive cultivars based on their stomatal density and metabolic modifications under cold conditions. The ‘Zar...

Our objective was to define sensitive morphological indicators that could be used to discriminate between drought sensitive and drought tolerant potato cultivars before final tuber yield is reached. A total of six potato cultivars contrasting for drought tolerance and earliness were subjected to three levels of water supply in two field trials in 1995 and 1996. We examined which parameter among...

Seed protein quality is an important topic in the production of soybean. The quality of soybean proteins is limited by anti-nutrient proteins and low levels of essential sulfur amino acids. In this study, protein content and solubility of six cultivars were evaluated and seed storage proteins were analyzed using SDS-PAGE and scanning densitometry. The results showed that seed storage protein ba...

to evaluate growth characteristics and adaptation of new asian pear cultivars (pyrus serotina rehd.) in iran, some growth characteristics and physiological factors of nine asian pear cultivars named ‘ks’6, ‘ks’7, ‘ks’8, ‘ks’9, ‘ks’10, ‘ks’11, ‘ks’12, ‘ks’13, ‘ks’14 and one european, present commercial cultivar ‘shahmiveh’ of iran (control) were evaluated under the climatic conditions of tehran ...

introduction barely (hordeum vulgare) is the fourth most important cereal after wheat, corn and rice. regarding the role of breeding to increase barley grain yield a large number of studies have been done in different countries. however, a few studies have been performed across golestan province, in iran. therefore, this study was conducted to know what barley traits have changed with grain yie...

Multispectral imaging is an emerging non-destructive technology. In this work its potential for varietal discrimination and identification of tomato cultivars of Nepal was investigated. Two sample sets were used for the study, one with two parents and their crosses and other with eleven cultivars to study parents and offspring relationship and varietal identification respectively. Normalized ca...

the damage of sugarcane whitefly,neomaskellia andropogonic corbett, has recently increased dramatically in sugarcane fields in khuzestan province. in this study, biology of n. andropgonis on four sugarcane commercial cultivars was evaluated under laboratory conditions. in this experiment, the preimaginal development, adult longevity and fecundity were studied in a growth chamber that was set at...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is commonly used as a hyper-accumulator for phytoextraction of heavy metals from soil and water. Like many other heavy metals, lead (Pb) contaminates soil, water and air and thus it is a great problem. This study was conducted to investigate toxic effects of Pb on growth and nutrient uptake in four canola cultivars. Each of four cultivars of canola (Con-II, Con-III, L...
