in order to have a successful breeding program, it is important to determine the relationship among the traits. this study was conducted at research farm of isfahan university of technology to evaluate relationships among some of the agronomic and physiological traits and grain yield of ten bread wheat cultivars in optimum and stress moisture (irrigation after 70±3 and 130±3 mm evaporation from...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to evaluate the factor structure of the newly developed Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (AEBQ) (Hunot et al., Appetite 105:356-63, 2016) in an Australian sample, and examine associations between the four food approach and four food avoidance appetitive traits with body mass index (BMI). METHODS Participants (N = 998) recruited between May and Octobe...

soil and water salinity are amongst the severe and progressive problems worldwide which affects most cropland areas of iran. using endophytic microorganisms (which are amongst the most important soil microorganisms) to alleviate the detrimental effect of environmental stresses such as salinity is recently globally considered. in order to test the effects of azospirillum strains and fungus pirif...

Environmental stress can alter genetic variation and covariation underlying functional traits, and thus affect adaptive evolution in response to natural selection. However, the genetic basis of functional traits is rarely examined in contrasting resource environments, and consequently, there is no consensus regarding whether environmental stress constrains or facilitates adaptive evolution. We ...

drought is one of the most important factors limiting growth and yield in many parts of the world. in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress on some morphological and physiological traits of two cultivars of bean, two red beans (derakhshan and goli) in four drought treatments including 25%, 50%, 75%, control 100% field capacity were studied in a factorial experiment based on complete r...

seven maize inbred lines were crossed in a complete diallel cross design at the seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran, during the 2006 growing season. the parents and 42 f1 hybrids were grown in the research field of islamic azad university of firoozabad, firoozabad, iran, using a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications, during the 2007 growing season. the ha...
