To evaluate the response of wheat genotypes to terminal drought stress and to identify drought tolerant and sensitive genotypes, 20 wheat genotypes were compared in two stress and normal conditions, in a field experiment carried out at the Experimental Farm of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran, as a split-plot arrangement using complete randomized blocks design with four r...

  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...

Understanding the nitrogen remobilization by plant, in order to obtain cultivars with higher quality, has specific importance in plant physiology. In this experiment, a bread and a durum wheat cultivar, were treated with different rates and times of nitrogen application, by using split factorial on the basis of randomized complete block design with three replications at Shiraz region during 200...

Appropriate selection of donor parent for breeding purposes needs sufficient knowledge about genetic diversity and germplasm classification. In order to investigation and classification of genetic diversity in 35 wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes, an experiment was conducted in University of Shahed based on randomized complete block design with 2 replications in 2009. In persent study 15 m...

Association mapping is a technique with high resolution for QTL mapping based on linkage disequilibrium and has shown more promising for describing genetically complex traits. In addition, it is a powerful tool for describing complex agronomic traits and identifying alleles that can contribute to enhance the desired traits. In this study, whole genome association mapping was used in a set of 14...
