Study of heritability and gene action to improve agronomic and physiological traits, especially under drought stress conditions, are very important. The objectives of this study were to investigate heritability for important agronomic traits and some physiological characters in a cross between two spring wheat cultivars. The experiment was carried out using different generations (BC1, BC2, F3, ...

The aim of this research was to investigate the root colonization percentage of grain sorghum cultivars by two species of mycorrhizal fungi and its effect on some of morphological and agronomic traits. Experiment was laid out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Experimental treatments included three levels of fungi (F1: control without inoculation, F2...

In order to investigate the relationship between morphological properties and choose suitable criteria for improving this research yield on ten new breeding lines and varieties of rice (control) modified rice cultivation area (Shiroodi cultivar) in the crop during 2010 in Tonekabon Rice Research Station in a randomized complete block design with four replications. The results showed that rice g...

Grain yield has a usually the low heritability, consequently to predict this trait it is recommended to use some morphological characters having a high heritability with high correlation with grain yield. To study of relationships between traits and to find out traits having the high influence on grain weight, 36 winter wheat cultivars were planted through a randomized complete block design wit...

In order to find out the importance of flag leaf in Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Hordea in some physiologic traits and photosynthetic and leaf senescence-related gene expression, a field experiment was carried out in Warwick University Research Farm, UK, in 2003. For more accuracy and statistical comparison of the calculated means, the experiment was carried out in 4 replicates. Random leaf samples w...
