Application of selection index for screening desired plants based on complex quantitative traits can be more effective than direct selection. This study was conducted using an F2 rice population consisting of 87 plants derived from a cross between two cultivars Gharib and IR28. The purpose was to establish suitable selection indices for increasing yield and its related traits in research farm...

today, the route for economic development in most countries is the same as international open competitive economy. economic institutes well known that supportive public economy belonged on the past and they may compete in the global economy. it is obvious that if they have no competitive potency or not familiar with competition technique, they may be devastated. banking system aims to collect t...

a one dimensional dynamic model for a riser reactor in a fluidized bed catalytic cracking unit (fccu) for gasoil feed has been developed in two distinct conditions, one for industrial fccu and another for fccu using various frequencies of microwave energy spaced at the height of the riser reactor (fccu-mw). in addition, in order to increase the accuracy of component and bulk diffusion, instanta...

Water deficit is one of the most important abiotic factors limiting growth, which adversely affect growth and crop production. In order to study the relationship between kernel size and phenological characteristics on grain yield, 46 local bread wheat genotypes along with four varieties were evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replications under irrigation and water deficit...

Facilitate the selection procedure to improve performance of new genotypes of rice is essential. In present study in order to evaluate relationship between grain yields with other agronomic traits, a global rice collection including 100 accessions was seeded in an incomplete block design (triple lattice 10×10). Afterward, grain yield and 14 morphological traits were evaluated. Correlation coeff...

Mutagenesis has been one of the important sources of genetic diversity and Plant mutants can be important bio-resources for crop breeding and functional genomics studies. Breeding conventional methods for generating of genetic variability are of low efficiency. We showed that treatment of seeds of rice(Hashemi cultivar) with 0.8% EMS for 8 h caused visible phenotypic variations on M2 rice mutan...

     To improve a complex characters such as grain yield with low heritability, indirect selection through other characters and selection index based on different effective traits were used. For this purpose, 96 F3 families derived from Roshan and Kavir crossing, together with parents, F1 and F2 progenies were cultivated. In lattice design with 2 replications under drought stress conditions in ...
