This study was conducted to investigate the phenotypic diversity of 108 pure barley lines in Augment design with four controls in six blocks in the farm of Darab Agricultural Research Station (2020-2021). In order to select the best lines in terms of yield and other traits, SIIG index was used. The results of restricted maximum likelihood (REML) analysis showed that the lowest and highest level...

Study of heritability, types of genes action and determination of effective breeding strategy to improve physiological and morphological traits especially under drought stress conditions are very important.  For such purpose, an experiment was carried out using the generations of the crosses between two pure lines (Kavir × Roshan) under drought stress and non-stress conditions based on randomiz...

For QTL mapping of related salt tolerance QTLs and determining the contribution of each QTL to phenotypic variation, a population consisting of 96 F2:3 families derived from the cross Kharchia (parent tolerant) and Gaspard (susceptible parent) were evaluated during 2 years. Of the 92 microsatellite markers used to evaluate parents, 32 markers were polymorphic which were used for analysis. Three...

In the major wheat growing countries, wheat growth and yield are negatively affected by salinity and breed tolerant cultivars through selection and breeding techniques is necessary to solve this problem. Relationship among yield, and its related traits in 23 wheat cultivars and promised lines were studied under salt stress conditions using a randomized complete block design with three replicati...

Grain yield in wheat is influenced directly and indirectly by other plant characteristics. One of the main goals in wheat breeding programs is increase of grain yield. Considering the role of crop rotation in increasing grain yield, and in order to study the difference between crop rotations for wheat yield and yield components (Darya cultivar), an experiment was conducted with six rotation tre...

Six rainfed durum wheat genotypes (Chehel daneh, Gerdish, Zardak, Syrian-1, Waha and Knd1149//68/ward) and their complete diallel progenies of F1 generation were evaluted in a randomized complete block design with two replications. Analysis of variance indicated genetic differences among genotypes. General combining ability (GCA) was significant for all of the studied traits except hundred grai...
