Development of superior crop varieties is the prime objectives of all plant breeding programs. To determine genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance, 24 elite bread wheat lines were planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar under rainfed conditions. Data were recorded on days to heading, days to maturity, plant he...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) production in the rainfed area of Pothwar Pakistan is extremely vulnerable to high temperature. The expected increase in temperature due to global warming should result in shorter crop life cycles, and thus lower biomass and grain yield. Two major factors control wheat phenological development: temperature and photoperiod. To evaluate wheat development in response to t...

A supervised feature selection algorithm was applied to determine the most important features contributing to wheat grain yield. Four hundreds seventy two fields (as records) from different parts of Iran which were different in 21 characteristics (features) were selected for feature selection analysis. Selection of the wide range of features, including location, genotype, irrigation regime, fer...

to identify and characterize bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) genotypes adapted to terminal water deficit conditions, 51 superior hexaploid wheat genotypes together with commercial check cultivars were studied, in a two stages screening practice, for drought tolerance in karaj, kermanshah, isfahan, neishabour and varamin filed stations under terminal water deficit conditions in 2002-2005 grow...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of the FAO-AquaCrop model in winter wheat in the southern Loess Plateau of China. Multi-year field experimental data from 2004 and 2011 were used to calibrate and validate the model for simulating biomass, canopy cover (CC), soil water content, and grain yield under rainfed conditions. The model performance was evaluated using root mea...

in order to study physiological characteristics of rainfed bread wheat genotypes, an experiment was conducted with 20 genotypes in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications under rainfed and supplementary irrigation conditions. this experiment was carried out at the dryland agricultural research institute (dari) in maragheh during 2007-2008. to determine growth indices, sampling wa...

fusarium head blight (fhb) is an important disease in wheat worldwide that reduces grain yield, quality as well as contaminates grains to the mycotoxins. thirty spring wheat genotypes including 28 bread wheat and two durum wheat genotypes were evaluated for fhb under a randomized complete block design with three replications. grain yield and its components were evaluated by using two environmen...
