The appropriate planting pattern of safflower in summer planting might be different from the planting pattern suitable for spring planting, and this has not been determined under Isfahan environmental conditions. A field experiment was conducted in the summer of 2000 at the Agricultural Research Station, Isfahan University of Technology, using a randomized complete block design with a split plo...

A major source of photoassimilates deposited into the seeds is the closest photosynthetic source to the latter sinks. While the contribution made to grain yield by floral parts and the adjacent photosynthetic surfaces has been determined for a number of crop plants, such information lacks regarding safflower. Thus the present study was aimed at estimating the contribution of photosynthesis of s...

In order to investigate the effect of quinoa seed inoculation on photosynthesis rate, yield and competitive ability with weeds, an experiment was conducted as split-plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at experimental farm of School of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran during 2020 growing season. Treatments were three levels of weed management as m...

     To estimate heritability and association between traits traits, 148 recombinant inbred lines and their parents (Yecora Rojo and No. 49) were evaluated in Alfa lattice design with two replications under normal and water deficit conditions during two cropping season (2013-15). Results showed that there were significant differences between genotypes for all studied traits. The estimated herit...

Genetic diversity is the base of plant breeding. Hence, 33 M7 soybean mutant lines, which were evolved by γ ray from cultivar L17 irradiated with doses of 150, 200 and 250 Gray (absorbed dose), with L17 cultivar and two commercial cultivars (Clark and Williams) were evaluated in view of some morphological traits (number of leaves/plant, pods/plant, seeds/pod, seeds/plant, 100-seed weight, dry w...
