TThis study was undertaken with the objective to determine the association between grain yield and its components and identifying traits have the greatest effects on grain yield of 45 mutant lines from tarom-mahaliin a randomized complete block design with three replications. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits. Mean comparison showed that line 2...

In order to assessment of relationships between effective traits on grain yield and also determination of cause and effect relationships between of them, 121 native and exotic cultivars available in the collection of Rice Research Institute of Iran were evaluated in a simple lattice design (11×11) with two replications for 12 important agronomic traits. The results of analysis of variance showe...

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...

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...

One of the most important purpose in breeding program is increasing grain yield per hectare. Using selection indices is the most effective methods of selection for simultaneous improvement of grain yield and related traits, which often have a quantitative inheritance. In this study, 29 rice genotypes (9 parents and 20 progenies) were evaluated. The numbers of filled grains in panicle and panicl...

In order to evaluate the effect of drought stress and determine of effective traits on grain yield and estimate of genetic parameters, 18 mutant rice lines were studied in normal and drought stress conditions. The experiments were carried out separately using randomized complete block design with three replications during cropping season 2014-2015 at Iranian Rice Research Centers in North of Ir...

In order to study the effect of irrigation withholding and biofertilizers application on quantitative and qualitative yield and grain filling duration of sunflower (Helianthus annus L.), a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Iran i...
