Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lind.) is one of the important factors which indirectly restrict the proper yield of onion (Allium cepa L.). Therefore, finding tolerant cultivars to onion thrips is important. Because of many small florets, cross pollination in onion which is a biennial plant by using polycross method for breeding is suitable and easy. To produce polycross seed, bulbs of 9 self poll...

In order to study tuber yield stability of 15 potato genotypes, this research was carried out using randomized complete block design with three replications in three different research stations in Iran during two growing seasons. The combined analysis of variance indicated that the main effects of genotype (G), environment (E) and their interactions genotype and environmen (G×E) were highly sig...

The project disease index tolerance and yield components of 60wheat genotypes advanced and promising of hot and humid climate were evaluated in two years (2011-2012) to Fusarium head blight of wheat in the field conditions. Wheat infected spikes were collected in regional fields, separation, purification and identification performed in the laboratory. Genotypes were culture in the field in stat...

In order to determine the most important quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pomegranate fruit and its components for categorizing the genotypes, a study was carried out using 24 genotypes. In this study 28 quantitative and qualitative characteristics of pomegranate fruit and seed were evaluated. Analysis of variance showed that all of the characteristics in examined genotypes were ...

A factorial experiment with forty one triticale genotypes and two wheat cultivars (‘Kavir’ bread wheat cultivar and ‘Dipper-6’ durum wheat cultivar as salt-tolerant genotypes) as the first factor and six salinity levels of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 percent (0, 85, 170, 255, 340 and 425 mM) of NaCl as the second factor was conducted. Results indicated that the increase of salinity level has lead...

To evaluate drought tolerance in bread wheat, tritipyrum and triticale genotypes, 27 different genotypes were grown as a randomized complete block design under two irrigation regimes (control and drought) in two locations (Isfahan and Shiraz) during two growing seasons (2016 and 2017). Based on grain yield, several indices including stress tolerance index (STI), tolerance index (TOL), susceptib...
