in order to determine combining ability, heritability and heterosis of some agronomic traits in rice, 4 pure lines were crossed with 2 cytoplasmic male sterile testers. parents and their f1 progenies arranged in rcb design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits, except for filled grains/panicle. furthermore, the crosses effect...

grapevine rootstocks are of the potential to increase cultivars, adaptation to different climates, soil types and a variety of unfavorable conditions. considering the existence of a rich grapevine germplasm in iran, it is possible to pick up vigorous genotypes and cultivars as drought tolerant rootstocks for commercial use due to their vast genetic potential. in this study, 698 fruitful genotyp...

Drought stress is one of the leading constraints to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production globally. Breeding for drought tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy. This study aimed to determine the level of drought tolerance among diverse bread wheat genotypes using agronomic traits and proline analyses and to establish correlation of proline content and agro...

Kazakhstan has very rich walnut genetic resources; however there is no ongoing walnut breeding program. Kazakhstan government has several projects in cooperation with Russia, USA, Bulgaria, Czech Republic and Poland for plant breeding purposes. In the present research walnut genetic resources originated from Jabağıl, Tulkıbas, Sayram, Lenger, and Botanical Garden of International Hodja Ahmet Ye...

the genetic diversity among 56 almond (prunus dulcis) genotypes was analysed using 35 microsatellite markers and 14 morphological traits. analysis of morphological traits revealed a wide range of variation among the studied genotypes. out of 35 simple sequence repeats (ssrs) markers, 25 were polymorphic, producing 215 alleles that varied from 2 to 16 with an average of 8.76 alleles per locus. r...

Experiment was designed to establish a more defi nitive relationship of phenological and physiological traits with yield in wheat using twenty fi ve spring wheat genotypes. Because many of these traits are interrelated, correlation coeffi cient, path analysis and principal component analysis were used to expose these relationships more clearly. Experiment was conducted at the Wheat Research Cen...
