This study was carried out with five triticale cultivars (Özer, Truva, Karma-2000, Alperbey and Tatlıcak-97) 10 advanced lines to determine the grain yield components during 2020-2021 2021-2022 growing seasons under Duzce ecological conditions. In this study, parameters of genotypes such as spike length, number spikelets per spike, grains weight thousand kernel weight, were investigated. Accord...

Genotypic variation in ear morphology is linked to differences in photosynthetic potential to influence grain yield in winter cereals. Awns contribute to photosynthesis, particularly under water-limited conditions when canopy assimilation is restricted. We assessed performance of up to 45 backcross-derived, awned-awnletted NILs representing four diverse genetic backgrounds in 25 irrigated or ra...

Spike fertility traits are critical attributes for grain yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Here, we examine the genotypic variation in three important traits: maximum number of floret primordia, number of fertile florets, and number of grains. We determine their relationship in determining spike fertility in 30 genotypes grown under two contrasting conditions: field and greenhouse. The max...

Agronomic biofortification could possibly be a promising strategy to overcome zinc (Zn) deficiency in wheat; however, the cultivar’s response foliar applications is enigmatic when it comes relative efficiency of Zn absorption and accumulation. To decipher that response, this study was designed with objectives (i) track amount absorbed through leaves after application, (ii) calculate actually tr...

Drought stress is a significant environmental variable affecting wheat growth and development. Plant tolerance intimately related to regulators of plants as polyamines. The study assessed the impact drought (50% water irrigation 100% irrigation), priming grains in putrescine (0.25, 0.5, 1 mM), their interactions on growth, yield, physiological attributes plants. conditions declined plant height...

Water and salinity stresses are the major environmental concerns limiting crop production, particularly in arid semi-arid ecologies. Focused research is required to develop mitigating strategies manage such stresses. Application of plant-bioregulators (PBRs) may be an effective option water Therefore, a field experiment was conducted during 2016–17 2017–18 at saline site NW (north-western) Indi...

The current study was undertaken to analyze the genetic variability, correlation and path for yield its attributing traits at agriculture research farm, Department of Genetics Plant Breeding, School Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Punjab during Rabi 2021-22 2022-23. Augmented design with F2 seeds planted in ear row fashion 4 rows were used including 2 parent 6 F2’s 9 viz. plant hei...

Wheat domestication from wild species involved mutations in the Q gene. The q allele (wild wheats) is associated with elongated spikes and hulled grains, whereas the mutant Q allele (domesticated wheats) confers subcompact spikes and free-threshing grains. Previous studies showed that Q encodes an AP2-like transcription factor, but the causal polymorphism of the domestication traits remained un...

Wheat yield and grain nitrogen concentration (GNC; mg N/g grain) are frequently negatively correlated. In most growing conditions, this is mainly due to a feedback process between GNC and the number of grains/m2. In Mediterranean conditions, breeders may have produced cultivars with conservative grain set. The present study aimed at clarifying the main physiological determinants of grain nitrog...

─This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of five herbicides on narrow leaved weeds and growth and yield of wheat. An experiment was conducted at Agronomic Research Farm, University of Agriculture Faisalabad. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block designee (RCBD) with three replications. Treatments studied were clodinafop (Topic-15 WG) at 37 g a.i. ha, clodinafop (...
