in order to study of deficit irrigation levels on wheat grain yield cultivars based on water productivity indices, an experiment was conducted in a split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design at the field of agricultural and natural resources center of isfahan (kabutarabad research station). three levels of irrigations: 60% of full irrigation (f1) and 80% full irrigation (f2) and...

Characterization of germplasm by DNA-markers provides a tool for precise germplasm identification and a quantitative assessment of genetic diversity. The genetic structure of the durum wheat germplasm grown in the Mediterranean basin varies largely from traditional landraces and cultivars characterized by a high versatility, to the modern varieties characterized by high yield potential, wide ad...

Estimates of genetic diversity can be based on different types of data. The aim of this research were to study genetic diversity among Croatian wheat cultivars by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers, morphological traits and pedigree records; to analyse differences between wheat cultivars from two breeding centres; and to evaluate usability of RAPD markers for estimation of genetic ...

Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) are economically important viral pathogens of wheat. Wheat cvs. Mace, carrying the Wsm1 gene, is resistant to WSMV and TriMV, and Snowmass, with Wsm2, is resistant to WSMV. Viral resistance in both cultivars is temperature sensitive and is effective at 18°C or below but not at higher temperatures. The underlying mechanisms of vi...

Extremely short, high yielding cultivars of all crop plants are needed to optimize the food production of bioregenerative life support systems in space. In the early 1980's, we examined over a thousand wheat genotypes from the world germplasm collection in search of genotypes with appropriate characteristics for food production in space. Here we report the results of 12 years of hybridization a...

abstract due to calcareous soil conditions, zinc deficiency is a yield limiting factor for wheat production in iran. one solution for this problem is the cultivation of zn-efficient wheat varieties. ten wheat cultivars (nine bread wheat and one durum wheat) with different tolerance to zn deficiency were studied in a greenhouse experiment. plants were treated with zn (10 mg zn kg-1 soil as znso4...

objective: in order to investigate effects of different concentration of gibberlic acid (ga3), kentin and putrescinepoly amine, on germination of three cultivars of wheat under salinity stress. methods: the experiment was carried out as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replicates in laboratory of agronomy and plant breeding, department of agriculture in islamic azad uni...

the bird cherry-oat aphid, rhopalosiphum padi (l.) is a serious threat to several cereal crops. host-plant resistance to this aphid could be especially valuable in cereal crops pest management. therefore, we evaluated the development, survivorship, reproduction and population growth parameters of r. padi as resistance indices among six wheat cultivars, including gaskojen, tajan, falat, saysonz,...

objective: in order to investigate effects of gibberlic acid (ga3) and sprimidin poly amine on germination of three cultivars of wheat under salinity stress. methods: the experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replicates in agronomy and plant breeding laboratory of agricultural department of islamic azad university, varamin-pishva branch in spring ...
