background and objectives: septoria leaf blotch disease (stb) caused by the fungus mycosphaerella graminicola (fuckel) j. schroeter (anamorph: septoria tritici roberge), is one of the most destructive foliar diseases of wheat in the world, that its worldwide damage in outburst years is about 30 to 50 per cent. the pathogen is a bipolar heterotallic ascomycete that its sexual life cycle is repea...

Abstract The Balkan pepper breeding program aims to use in vitro embryogenesis (anther culture) develop doubled haploid lines with valuable traits. We analyzed the effectiveness of microspore on 17 genotypes comprised varieties, lines, and F 1 hybrids different varietal types (conical, bell shape, kapia) characterized agronomic traits newly generated lines. highest androgenic potential was obse...

the persian walnut (juglans regia l.) is one of the most important horticultural crops grown in iran. this research was conducted to determine the variation in walnut germplasm grown in the arak region of iran during the 2007-2008 growing seasons. all of the selected genotypes originated from seed, and their phenological and pomological characteristics were evaluated. results indicated that the...

Few studies have evaluated vegetable soybean for sugar content at the green pod stage. Information on combining ability and type of gene action that governs inheritance of seed traits can help breeders to select suitable parents and devise an appropriate breeding strategy. Ten vegetable soybean accessions were crossed in a complete diallel mating design. Parent lines and F2 and F3 progenies wer...

resistance of 11 genotypes of sugar beet to cyst nematode was evaluated in two separate greenhouse experiments in completely randomized design. in each experiment, 50 seedlings of each genotype were inoculated with 1000 nematode larves in several times. after 9 weeks, the number of cysts on each plant was counted. data were analyzed with sas program. the results showed that the genotypes differ...

At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...

Guava is of great economic importance in Brazil. The development new cultivars by obtaining inbreeding lines has been a promising option. objective this work was to evaluate the S2 families Psidium guajava using seed attributes. Different characters physiological quality guava seeds were studied, addition performing digital phenotyping characteristics geometry, texture and colors seeds. variabl...

Narrow genetic variability may lead to genetic vulnerability of field crops against biotic and abiotic stresses which can cause yield reduction. In this study a set of 37 wheat microsatellite markers linked with identified QTLs for salinity tolerance were used for the assessment of genetic diversity for salinity in 30 promising lines of hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). A total of 4...
