relationship between grain yield and its component traits can improve the efficiency of breeding programs by determining appropriate selection criteria. an investigation was carried out on barnyard millet (echinochloa spp.) global germplasm collection to investigate the association among yield components and their direct and indirect effects on the grain yield of barnyard millet. the experiment...

abstract     in order to study the relationships among seed yield and its components in nigella sativa, path coefficient and factor analysis was done using some agro- morphological traits of 21 different genotypes. genotypes were evaluated using a completely randomized design with four replications in ardestan university research farms. there was a high and positive correlation between seed yie...

Knowledge of order of evaluation of expressions is useful for compile-time optimizations for lazy sequential functional programs. We present path semantics, a non-standard semantics that describes order of evaluation for a first-order functional language with lazy evaluation. We also provide an effective abstraction of path semantics that provides compile-time information. We show how path sema...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is one of the most important crops worldwide that is a subject of many plant breeding programs in many countries. in addition, climates are changing all over the world and drought becomes one of the most serious problems versus yield of crops. in order to screen drought tolerant genotype in chickpea, twenty genotypes were tested under rainfed and irrigated conditio...
