source limitation during grain filling is important for both management and breeding strategies of grain crops. there is little information on the sensitivity of grain yield to various source-sink ratios in various wheat (triticum aestivum) cultivars. the objective of the current study was to evaluate the response of grain yield as well as yield components to different source-sink ratios during...

to study the effect of plant density on seed yield and yield components of two lentil cultivars a field experiment using factorial design based on a complete block design was conducted with three replications at research farm of college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran (karaj) in 2008. treatments were lentil varieties (ziba, mardom), and plant densities (80, 160, 240, ...

in this study, we aimed to determine the effects of halo-priming on yield and yield components of four wheat cultivars in a saline soil. a field study was conducted in factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcbd). soil ph was 8/1 and electrical conductivity was 9 ds/m. wheat cultivars (falat, ghods, chamran and shoori4) were primed with cacl2 solutions (control, 0, 50 and 100 mm)....

rust diseases continue to cause significant losses to wheat production around the world. among them, yellow rust caused by puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is an important disease that threatens wheat production in most cool environments. host resistance, especially race- nonspecific resistance, is the most economical way to manage wheat stripe rust disease. in this study, the effectiveness ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate genotype×environment interaction (gei) of chlorophyll meter readings (spad) of ten durum wheat cultivars, using data obtained from multi-environment trials during two years, at eight locations. stability and genotypic superiority for spad reading was identified using anova and gge biplot analysis. furthermore, the interrelationships among spad reading and o...
