for assessment of drought stress effects on agro characteristics of 30 lines and 6 wheat cultivars and for introducing of drought tolerant and susceptible ones one trial were established using split plot base of randomized complete block design with two replications, main plots were stress and non-stress condition and sub plots contain 30 lines and six wheat cultivars in the check trial, irriga...

The germplasm collection of 87 wheat-wheatgrass hybrids developed in Tsitisin Main Botanical Garden (Russia, Moscow) was evaluated for resistance to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) by spike sprouting (SS) and germination index (GI) assays as well as for spike and grain features. The PHS resistance variation and haplotype polymorphism of the wheatgrass ThVp-1 and wheat TaVp-1B genes orthologues of V...

An ARTA (AutoRegressive-to-Anything) Process is a time series with arbitrary marginal distribution and autocorrelation structure specified through finite lag p. We develop an efficient numerical method for fitting ARTA processes and discuss its implementation in the software ARTAFACTS. We also present the software ARTAGEN that generates observations from ARTA processes for use as inputs to a co...

One of the ways of haploid production is a cross between wheat and maize. Recently success has been achieved in this method, leading to the production of zygotes; these zygotes generally undergo elimination of maize chromosomes and thus lead to production of wheat haploid plant. The purpose of this study was to develop an efficient method of haploid production via maize pollination in short dur...

using crop simulation models is an efficient complement to experimental research. crop models can also be helpful with respect to decision-making in sustainable farming system. this study was done to estimate genetic coefficients and evaluate performanced dssat in prediction of development, growth and yield in wheat. data from various field experiments for four wheat cultivars koohdasht, shirou...

a field study was conducted at the college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran to evaluate the effect of different crop residue and nitrogen rates on yield and yield components of two dryland wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars. the experiment was conducted as a strip split plot with four replications. vertical plots included two dryland current wheat cultivars (azar2 and nicknej...

Byamukama, E., Tatineni, S., Hein, G. L., Graybosch, R. A., Baenziger, P. S., French, R., and Wegulo, S. N. 2012. Effects of single and double infections of winter wheat by Triticum mosaic virus and Wheat streak mosaic virus on yield determinants. Plant Dis. 96:859-864. Triticum mosaic virus (TriMV) is a recently discovered virus infecting wheat (Triticum aestivum) in the Great Plains region of...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a multifaceted disease caused by some species of Fusarium spp. A huge production of mycotoxins, mostly trichothecenes, often accompanied this disease. Amongst these toxic compounds, deoxynivalenol (DON) and its derivatives represent a major issue for human as well as for animal health and farming. Common and durum wheat are amongst the hosts of trichothecene-produc...
