To evaluate the effect of micro-nutrients spraying on some agronomic characteristics of the safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L. cv. Isfahan landrace), under different cropping systems, an experiment was carried out as split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011. Experimental treatments were including: cropping systems (high, medium, low input and ecologic...

In order to evaluate the yield, agronomic characteristics and response of sesame promising lines to wilting disease using multivariate methods, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2019. The genetic plant materials evaluated in this study included the superior 20 selected lines along with Oltan as the control cultivar. During the growing s...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Wheat is one of the most important crops in the world that plays a key role in ensuring food security. In wheat breeding programs, selection of genotypes with desirable agronomic traits and high yield potential have always been the goal of plant breeders. Increasing the selection efficiency for grain yield depends on genetic knowledge from morpholo...

Breeders often use generation means analysis to obtain information about inheritance, gene action, and to determine effective breeding methods to improve important agronomic traits, especially under drought stress conditions. To investigate the genetic parameters of agronomic and morphological traits in durum wheat, a field experiment was carried out using F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 generations obtain...

In order to study the relationship between grain yield and some of agronomic traits under drought stress condition, an experiment with 305 bread wheat inbred lines derived from a cross between Roshan × Falat and 25 drought tolerant and susceptible varieties along with 4 check varieties (Roshan, Falat, Mahdavi and Shahpasand) was conducted in augmented complete block design, at Research Field of...

     Mutations induced by gamma irradiation are part of improving some important agronomic traits in crops.  Identifying the optimal mutagenic dose is considered to be the most crucial step in trials and generating mutated genetic materials. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of gamma ray (0, 150, 200, 250 and 300 Gy) on some plant early stages traits and bioch...

Scince 1990 research on clover has been commenced in Karaj and other field stations of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute, Iran. One of the achievements of this initiative is selection, improvement and release of Alborz 1 Crimson clover cultivar. New Crimson clover cultivar, Alborz 1 was primarily selected from clover germplasm received from Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), The United...
