development of new cultivars with high grain yield (gy) stability and good adaptability under both terminal drought stress (tds) and normal irrigation conditions, which plays important role in production of wheat, is one of the major goals of wheat breeding program for cold dry areas of iran. the objective of this investigation was to study the stability and adaptability of gy and genotype × lo...

Fish protein hydrolysates were prepared from Cuttlefish (Sepia pharaonis) muscle using alcalase and protamex methods. By conducting the Cuttlefish protein hydrolysate using alcalase (CPHA), it showed higher degrees of hydrolysis, proximate composition, yield, emulsifying activity index (EAI), emulsion stability index (ESI), foaming activity index (FAI), solubility, water holding capacity (WHC) ...

drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

To obviate the well-documented problem of hematocrit dependency of the Yellow Springs Instruments (YSI) whole-blood lactate analyzer, we modified the dilution buffer by including a lysing reagent. This makes the results comparable with those of methods performed with deproteinized whole-blood samples. No centrifugation step is needed, thus preserving the convenience of the YSI instrument for st...

the selection of high yielding varieties with good stability‏ ‏is an important objective in rice breeding ‎programs. the grain yield of eight rice lines with a check (nemat) were compared‎‏ ‏on six locations of gilan ‎and mazandaran provinces during two years, using rcbd with four replications. combined analysis of ‎variance showed that the effect of variety and year ‎‏×‏‎ location ‎‏×‏‎ variet...

drought stress is a major factor limiting crop production. investigation of physiological characteristics related to drought tolerance and crop production may be useful in selecting drought tolerant cultivars as well as in improving crop yield. two drought tolerant (azar2 & back cross roshan) and two drought susceptible (marvdast & shiraz) cultivars were investigated in both greenhouse and fiel...
