Unfavorable storage conditions, especially relatively high environment humidity and high storage temperature greatly affect the quality of corn seeds. The effects of temperature, environment moisture and length of storage on six maize hybrids were examined. For the purpose of investigating germination traits, total soluble proteins, leakage electrolytes and the activity of antioxidant enzymes i...

  This experiment was conducted to study the effects of water deficit stress on morphological traits, yield and yield components of 60 maize single cross hybrids at Torough Agricultural and Natural Resources Research C enter located in Mashhad, Iran on 2013. This experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications. The irrigation treatments were consisted of two ...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Sugar is a tonic that produces a large amount of energy in the diet of the world's population. The position of sugar beet in providing part of the sugar required by human society is not hidden from anyone. Given the needs of society, breeding sugar beet hybrids that is high in quantity and quality is inevitable. In addition to plant genetics and ...

To facilitate the interpretation of data from a genotype by environment experiment (GE), a cluster method is proposed to group genotypics according to their response to the environments especially when the GE interaction is large. The interaction structure of two-way classification data often can be identified if the data stratified into homogeneous subsets. In this paper four GE interaction cl...

In order to investigate the response different of maize hybrids under drought stress in different levels growth stages, a field experiment was done as split plot layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications, in crop school of Meghan of Agriculture and natural Resources in year 2014. The treatments were included three irrigation regimes (Full irrigation, deficit irrig...

Breeding for environmental stress is one of the most important goals in plant breeding. Among stresses, drought stress has high influencing on limitation of maize production. Therefore, in order to find the best drought tolerant hybrids, 38 maize hybrids were planted in two separate experiments: one with optimum irrigation (control) and another with water stress at grain-filling stage in Moghan...
