Abstract In order to assess reduced nitrogen level impacts on butterhead lettuce (Lacttuca sativa L.) growth and yield, an experiment was done from May to August 2015 in research greenhouse of Shahrekord University. The experiment was conducted through randomized completed design with three replications and four treatments. The lettuce plants were grown in floating system using 60, 80, 100 a...

Rice is one of the most important food crops, thus identification of definitive traits on the yield can be used in breeding programs. In order to determine the best suitable morphological markers for selection of superior genotypes, seeds of 15 rice genotypes including 5 varieties (namely: Binam, Dasht, Neda, Mashhad Domsiah and IR62871-175-1-10) and their 10 F1 hybrids of corresponding variate...

Breeding programs strategies depends on genetical mechanism of selection traits. In the present research, generation mean analysis with joint scaling test was performed to determine the gene action. F1, F2 and F3 generations, derived from Roushan and Kavir cross along with their parents were sown in a partial Lattice design with two replications under stress condition at the research field of S...

 Aim and Background. Since chemical control of corn common smut disease to be unsuccessful (that its agent is Ustilago maydis), screening of resistance hybrids to smut disease is necessary for maize breeding.  Materials and Methods. In this study, 89 single crosses hybrids including 60 single crosses derived from hybridization of 20 S6 inbred lines as female parents and 3 S6 commercial elit tes...

Drought stress is a critical and inevitable phenomenon damages successful crop production in various intensity every year in different parts of the world during different times. This research was done to evaluate the effects of drought stress on some traits related to leaf (leaf weight, leaf area and chlorophyll content) root (root weight) and shoot (weight and length) further enzymatic antioxi...

This study the effect of seed preparation (priming) with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide on the anatomy of the flag leaf and spike two wheat genotypes( Cross Sabalan ( bread wheat) and Saji(durum wheat)) and its relationship with grain yield, under dry land farming system condition, Experimental design was factorial, arranged in randomized complete block. Results showed that the n...
