To determine the relationships between yield and its components, and to find the direct and indirect effects of yield-related traits on soybean yield, 240 genotypes were grown in the Research Station, College of Agriculture, Karaj, Iran, in 1997-98 using an augmented design. The study of correlation analysis showed that number of seeds per plant and seed yield per plant had the highest signific...

Increasing grain yield is the most important goal in any breeding program. Since yield is a complex trait and involves several quantitative components with low inheritance, its direct evaluation is not usually sufficient and therefore it is suggested that its components be investigated instead. The objective of this study was grouping 60 inbred lines along with four check cultivars of wheat fro...

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...

To study determination of the most traits affecting grain yield in segregation populations of lentil, two F3 populations derived from crosses Lc74-1-5-1×L3685 (first population) and Lc74-1-5-1×Qazvin (second population) were evaluated. According to the results of stepwise regression number of seeds per plant, number of pods per plant, 100- seed weight, plant height and number of leaflets leafle...
