to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

background and objectives: rice plant requires abundant water during its growth cycle and usually faced with water deficit. drought  stress alters the allocation assimilate , root and shoot growth during the vegetative period and also lower tillering, death tillers, lower plant height and flowering delay. the aim of this study was to screen different iranian genotypes and some lines from irri w...

Evaluation of eggplant (Solanum melongena) genotypes, including one control check and nine mutants for ten agronomical characters to assess the magnitude of variability and to pick up the heritable component of variation present in the agronomic traits, revealed significant differences among the genotypes for all the studied characters indicating the presence of substantial genetic variability....

in order to study of variation and relationships between morphological traits with yield and its components in three grain sorghum cultivars (kimia, sepideh and payam) and nine promising lines (mgs1-mgs9) received from seed and plant improvement institute, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with four replications in birjand agricultural research station, in two grow...

Genetic diversity is prerequisite for any crop improvement program as it helps in the development of superior recombinants. Fifty Malaysian upland rice accessions were evaluated for 12 growth traits, yield and yield components. All of the traits were significant and highly significant among the accessions. The higher magnitudes of genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation were recorded...
