Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent reduction in wheat grain yield under limited moisture conditions. The effect of 3 PGRs including cycocel, salicylic acid and brassinoestroeid on yield and yield components of  four wheat cultivars (Chamran, Shiroudi, Pishtaz and Sirvan) under well watered and water stress (withheld irrigation after flowering) was examined. The experiment was ca...

Despite its economic importance, not much information exists on growth and productivity of durum wheat in Iran and Isfahan. In order to evaluate growth, grain yield, and attributes in three durum wheat genotypes, Osta/Gata, Dipper-6, and PI40100, with five planting densities of 200, 275, 350, 425 and 500 seeds/m2, a four-replicate RCBD field study with a spilt-plot layout was carried out in win...

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...

Genetic variation of 300 genotypes of durum wheat comprising CIMMYT/ICARDA and Iranian germplasm was evaluated in 1999-2000 at Researh Farm of College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology located at Lavark, NaJaf-Abad. Days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, spike length, grain weight per spike, number of grain per spike, number of spikes per m2, 1000-grain weight, test wei...

Development of germplasm resources through importing new genotypes could improve the efficiency of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) breeding programs. During 2014-2015 season, 82 imported safflower genotypes were evaluated in randomized complete block design at the research station of ORDC (Oilseeds Research & Development Company) in Sari. In this plan, six important quantitative traits rela...

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...

One of the most important purpose in breeding program is increasing grain yield per hectare. Using selection indices is the most effective methods of selection for simultaneous improvement of grain yield and related traits, which often have a quantitative inheritance. In this study, 29 rice genotypes (9 parents and 20 progenies) were evaluated. The numbers of filled grains in panicle and panicl...
