In order to evaluate the effect of drought stress and determine of effective traits on grain yield and estimate of genetic parameters, 18 mutant rice lines were studied in normal and drought stress conditions. The experiments were carried out separately using randomized complete block design with three replications during cropping season 2014-2015 at Iranian Rice Research Centers in North of Ir...

Mutagenesis has been one of the important sources of genetic diversity and Plant mutants can be important bio-resources for crop breeding and functional genomics studies. Breeding conventional methods for generating of genetic variability are of low efficiency. We showed that treatment of seeds of rice(Hashemi cultivar) with 0.8% EMS for 8 h caused visible phenotypic variations on M2 rice mutan...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Selection of desirable hybrids compared to other maize hybrids (Zea mays L.) is one of the methods used to achieve high grain yield in maize. Also, the most important morphological features affecting grain yield can be used in the selection and introduction of genotypes. Material and Methods: This study was conducted to investigate the relationshi...

For identification of correlations and relations among different traits in bread wheat, 30 genotypes were investigated based on a split plot experiment in the form of randomized complete block design with three replications under normal and moisture stress conditions during the 2016-2017 crop season. The results of the analysis of variance showed that the effect of genotypes was significant for...

     To improve a complex characters such as grain yield with low heritability, indirect selection through other characters and selection index based on different effective traits were used. For this purpose, 96 F3 families derived from Roshan and Kavir crossing, together with parents, F1 and F2 progenies were cultivated. In lattice design with 2 replications under drought stress conditions in ...

In order to determine the relations between different characteristics with grain yield of rice lines, an experiment carried out with 150 F8 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between two Iranian rice varieties Sepidroud (drought susceptible variety, male parent) and Gharib (drought tolerant variety, female parent) along with 6 varieties as check varieties based on Augment design usin...

Genetic diversity of 13 new cereals, primary tritipyrum lines, five triticale lines and nine Iranian bread wheat varieties was studied under the randomized completely blocks design in terms of agronomic and morphological traits. The highley significant difference was observed between genotypes for all traits except in the filamental leaf length, main leaf length and main leaf width. The highest...
