In order to investigate the effect of sugar plant effluent on shoot solute percentage, yield components and grain yield of two wheat cultivars, a two year field experiment was conducted on a farm near Eghlid sugar plant during 2004-2005. Treatments consisted of two wheat cultivars (Alamot and Zarin) and two irrigated treatment: irrigation with effluent and irrigation with spring water (control)...

A diallel analysis of eight bread wheat (Ttriticum aestivum L.) cultivars was conducted to determine genetic parameters and the type of genetic control for yield and yield components. The parents and their F1 hybrids were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. General and specific combining ability effects were estimated by the method 2 of the Griffings model I, an...

In order to study genetic diversity of different wheat inbred lines and grain yield modeling as well as selection of elite lines, 305 wheat lines derived from Roshan × Falat cultivar along with their parents as well as two check (Mahdavi and Shahpasand) cultivated in research field of Sahid Bahonar university of Kerman in augment design, on growing season of 2013-2014. Result of genetic and phe...

  Application of selection index for screening desired plants based on complex quantitative traits can be more effective than direct selection. This study was conducted using an F2 rice population consisting of 87 plants derived from a cross between two cultivars Gharib and IR28. The purpose was to establish suitable selection indices for increasing yield and its related traits in research farm...

An experiment was conducted at Rasht Rice Research Institute, in 2001 to study trait relationships and to determine the direct and indirect effects of different characteristics on grain yield of rice (Orgza sativa L.). A 9x2 factorial experiment in complete randomized block design with 3 replications was used. The two factors were 9 cultivars, namely: Hashemi, Ali Kazemi, Binam, Sepeedroud, Nem...

To investigate some quantitative and qualitative traits of genotypes a field study was performed as augmented experiment consisting four checks (Sadri, Koosha, KS21676 and KS21682) and138 genotypes. Vegetative, morphological and agronomical characteristics as well as traits related to pod and seed were studied. Statistical analysis showed that number of seeds per plant and plant height had the ...

Half diallel crosses of nine Iranian wheat cultivars were used to estimate the general and specific combining ability effects and other genetic parameters related to yield and its components. Parents with F2 generations were evaluated at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, University of Shahrekord, in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Partitioning of genotypes mean squa...
