The use of appropriate selection methods are important to increase yield in breeding programs. Utilization of selection indices is one of the most effective method for selection of superior genotypes to improve the complex traits such as seed yield. In order to evaluate the efficiency of different selection methods, 63 families of two F3 populations derived from inter-specific hybridization of ...

This study was conducted at the Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology in 2003 to evaluate drought tolerance potential of 20 oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes including 14 cultivars released in Canada, two cultivars released in the United States of America and Switzerland and four Turkish breeding lines. A randomized complete block design with three replications was used in each irriga...

Development of cultivars better adapted to drought stress in the arid and semi arid climatic conditions is considered as a major breeding objective. Grain quality is a trait with physico-chemical complexity depending primarily on genotype, is strongly affected by environmental factors and their interactions. Effect of terminal drought stress on quality traits of 18 triticale lines, comprising o...

This experiment was conducted to evaluate drought tolerance of selected lines from local populations of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) at the Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology in 2002. In this study, the 12 selected safflower lines from different local populations along with two exotic cultivars and a local population were evaluated at two different irrigation regimes, usin...
