In Brassica napus breeding, traits related to commercial success are of highest importance for plant breeders. However, such traits can only be assessed in an advanced developmental stage. Molecular markers genetically linked to such traits have the potential to accelerate the breeding process of B. napus by marker-assisted selection. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to identify (i)...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of salt stress on some agro-physiological traits in ten varieties of bread (triticum aestivum l.) and durum (triticum turgidum l.) wheats in seedling stage. a greenhouse experiment was carried out as a split plot experiment based on a completely randomized design with four replications in hydroponic condition. different agronomic and physiol...

yield increase of crop along with human health and environment persistence could obtain from correct use of nitrogen fertilizer. in this study the effect of different regime n application on n efficiency grain sorghum genotypes in 2009 growing season at the khorasan razavi agriculture natural resources research center mashhad was investigated. split plots experiment in base of randomized comple...

Drought and heat tolerance are complex quantitative traits. Moreover, the adaptive significance of some stress-related traits is more related to plant survival than to agronomic performance. A web of regulatory mechanisms fine-tunes the expression of stress-related traits and integrates both environmental and developmental signals. Both post-transcriptional and post-translational modifications ...
