introduction barely (hordeum vulgare) is the fourth most important cereal after wheat, corn and rice. regarding the role of breeding to increase barley grain yield a large number of studies have been done in different countries. however, a few studies have been performed across golestan province, in iran. therefore, this study was conducted to know what barley traits have changed with grain yie...

an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of five plants densities (100,200,300,400 and 500 grain m-2) on yield and its components in three rain fed barley cultivars (ezeh, mahor and dopar). a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in agricultural research center of khorramabad city in the east of iran (in 2006-2007). in th...

an experiment was conducted as a split – split plot in form of a randomized block design with four replications in cilakhor region of iran in 2004. the main factor was the seed planting date with three levels (5, 12 and 25 april), sub factor was the crop density with two levels (160,000 and 250,000 pl/ha) and sub-sub factor was the crop arrangement with two levels (equidistant and non-equidista...

The saturating photon flux density (400 to 700 nanometers) for induction of flowering of the long day plant Anagallis arvensis L. was 1,900 micromoles per square meter per second (6,000 foot-candles) when an 8-hour daylength was extended to 24 hours by a single period of supplementary irradiation. The saturating photon flux density for photosynthetic CO(2) uptake during the same single suppleme...

Objective: Wheat is the most important crop in Iran. Self sufficiency in wheat production is one of the economic and food safety policies in the country. In spite of the efforts which have been made in this area, the mean of wheat yield in Iran is less than its world average. Methods: In order to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the trai...

Background: This study was conducted during the 2020/2021 cropping season at Setif Agricultural Experimental Station, it aims to assess efficiency of using numerical image analysis (NIA) in selection durum wheat genotypes semi-arid areas. Methods: The genetic materials used this consist 11 advanced lines and 4 which 3 are local landraces as control evaluate their performance, tested were sown a...

Grain yield is the most important quantitative character in breeding of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill), depending on both the genotypic potential and environmental conditions of soybean growing. Essentially, all of the genetic gains in soybean yield have been achieved by traditional breeding methods, involving hybridisation and phenotypic selection (CORYELL et al., 1999). Grain yield is a c...

Blue light is known to induce suppression of stem elongation. To avoid the complication of blue-light-induced transformation of phytochrome we have adapted the procedure of measuring blue-light-induced suppression of stem elongation in Pisum sativum L. var Alaska grown under continuous red light. The resulting fluence-response curve for suppression of epicotyl elongation measured twenty-four ho...
