Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) is one of the most important cultivable medicinal plants in Iran and today, it is the second most popular spice in the world after black pepper. It is essential to know the relationships between yield and its components in cumin breeding programs. Therefore, different multivariate statistical analysis was performed on plant characters in cumin to determine th...

a study was conducted to investigate the genetic variance components and the combinig ability of sunflowers lines at the seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran in 2006. a total of 41 genotypes including 2 cms, 13 restorer and their 26 corresponding hybrids were evaluated in a line × tester approach. the analysis of variance indicated that significant differences existed among genotyp...

several plant growth regulators are used to improve the quality of cut flower in bulb plants, but their effectiveness depends on genotype and plant growth conditions such as nutrition status. a pot experiment was conducted under farm condition to study benzyl adenine (ba) and potassium nitrate interaction on floret diameter, stem diameter, flower height, flower number per bulb, fresh and dry we...

in order to evaluate the variation of some of quantitative and qualitative traits of different varieties of linseed under different plant densities, an experiment was conducted in the research station of the faculty of agriculture in shahrekord univerity in 2009. this experiment was arranged as factorial in rcbd design with three replications. four linseeds originated from australia, canada, fr...

Climate change increases the drought-affected areas, which challenge breeders to develop adaptive and drought-tolerant rice cultivars. The study aimed determine heritability, gene action controlling of various traits in upland F4 populations derived from cross, Sileso (high yielding drought tolerant) × Ciherang (early maturing), obtain high-yielding early-maturing lines. populations, along with...

This paper aims to evaluate and classify some upland rice varieties based on their morphological characteristics. The data used in the study was obtained from National Cereal Research Institute (NCRI), Badeggi -Nigeria. The study consists of 25 upland rice cultivars, which were extracted from 100 rice varieties ergo-listed in the institute. The experiment was conducted at Edozhigi in northcentr...
