The present study was undertaken to evaluate direct and indirect selection criteria for the improvement of grain yield and quality components in Chenopodium quinoa Willd. Correlated response (CR) and relative selection efficiency (RSE) were estimated for grain yield and three quality components, grain protein, grain carotenoid and leaf carotenoid based on different contributing ...

To evaluate the genetic diversity in twenty barley genotypes, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was done at Agriculture Researches Station of Ardabil, Iran in 2009-10. Investigated traits of this study was included days to flowering, plant height, 1000 seed weight, number of infertile tiller, number of seed per spike, harvest index, days to maturity...

Influence of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and lactic acid (LA) on grain sorghum steeping efficiency in terms of wetmilling characteristics was investigated using response surface analysis. Tested ranges of concentrations in steeping water were 0.050 to 0.278% and 0 to 0.282% for SO2 and LA, respectively. Measured wet-milling variables were steeping solids yield, starch yield, protein yield, fiber/germ ...

in order to study the realationship between genetic diversity and different characteristics associated with grain yield in barley, 28 genotypes of barley cultivars contain seven cultivars and 21 hybrids were evaluated in randomized complete block (rcb) design with three replications. cultivars were valfajr, makuei, kavir, rayhan, gorgan, nusrat and nimroz. this study was carried out in research...

response modification factor (r-factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to consider nonlinear performance of building structures during strong earthquake. relying on this, many seismic design codes led to reduce earthquake loads imposed to the structure. the present paper tries to evaluate the r-factors of conventional concentric braced frames (cbfs) and special moment frames (mrfs) in ...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none ar-sa background : the aim of this study was to determine the correlation between corneal hysteresis (ch) and the corneal resistance factor (crf), which are both novel methods of analyzing ocular rigidity/elasticity, and various corneal characteristics, mainly corneal volume in normal subjects. methods : this cross-sectional study included 500 normal eyes...
