A diallel analysis of eight bread wheat (Ttriticum aestivum L.) cultivars was conducted to determine genetic parameters and the type of genetic control for yield and yield components. The parents and their F1 hybrids were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. General and specific combining ability effects were estimated by the method 2 of the Griffings model I, an...

Despite its economic importance, not much information exists on growth and productivity of durum wheat in Iran and Isfahan. In order to evaluate growth, grain yield, and attributes in three durum wheat genotypes, Osta/Gata, Dipper-6, and PI40100, with five planting densities of 200, 275, 350, 425 and 500 seeds/m2, a four-replicate RCBD field study with a spilt-plot layout was carried out in win...

In order to study genetic diversity of different wheat inbred lines and grain yield modeling as well as selection of elite lines, 305 wheat lines derived from Roshan × Falat cultivar along with their parents as well as two check (Mahdavi and Shahpasand) cultivated in research field of Sahid Bahonar university of Kerman in augment design, on growing season of 2013-2014. Result of genetic and phe...

The use of high yielding and resistant to drought stress cultivars in crops is one of the proper way to incorporation other water deficit management methods. This study in order to evaluate grain yield and morphological traits, an experiment was conducted with 100 genotypes of durum wheat which were planted based on lattice design with three replications under normal and drought stress conditio...

  Evaluation of genetic improvement of grain yield and other traits in cultivars released in different years is useful to determine plant breeding impact on grain yield improvement, to define future selection criteria and to identify the desirable environment and traits for further assessment. This study was conducted to evaluate the genetic improvement for grain yield and other traits of twelv...

Genetic variation of 300 genotypes of durum wheat comprising CIMMYT/ICARDA and Iranian germplasm was evaluated in 1999-2000 at Researh Farm of College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology located at Lavark, NaJaf-Abad. Days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, spike length, grain weight per spike, number of grain per spike, number of spikes per m2, 1000-grain weight, test wei...

In order to determine the most important components of anise grain yield using regression analysis and path analysis, an experiment was conducted with 12 anise population in a randomized complete block design with three replications at research farm of the agricultural faculty, University of Zanjan in 2014 and 2015.  The evaluated traits were days to flowering, days to maturity, grain filling p...

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used to prevent reduction in wheat grain yield under limited moisture conditions. The effect of 3 PGRs including cycocel, salicylic acid and brassinoestroeid on yield and yield components of  four wheat cultivars (Chamran, Shiroudi, Pishtaz and Sirvan) under well watered and water stress (withheld irrigation after flowering) was examined. The experiment was ca...
