Due to its wide adaptability, chickpea is considered as an important crop in arid, semi-arid and in marginal lands. Most important factors which limit yield of chickpea are short length of physiological growth period and susceptibility to cold and diseases, especially Ascochyta rabie. Releasing a chickpea cultivar with high yield and good characteristics such as cold tolerance, resistance to...

In order to study seed yield components and agronomic traits in some F3 families of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), this experiment was conducted in 2014 at the Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, Iran. In this experiment, 50 families of F3 generation derived from different crosses were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with two replications. The results sho...

Finding association between molecular markers and agronomic traits provides an excellent tool for indirect selection of a trait of interest in the population. In this study, stepwise regression analysis was used to estimate associations between ISSR and RAPD markers with some agronomic traits in 12 lemon balm ecotypes. Markers or bands were considered as independent variables and traits were co...

In order to evaluate the yield, agronomic characteristics and response of sesame promising lines to wilting disease using multivariate methods, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2019. The genetic plant materials evaluated in this study included the superior 20 selected lines along with Oltan as the control cultivar. During the growing s...
