Sesame is one of the oldest and most important oilseeds in Iran and the world due to its nutritional value. In the present study, 25 sesame landraces collected from different regions of the country were evaluated in terms of phenological, morphological and physiological traits in Urmia climate. The ANOVA results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between the landra...

The efficiency of a breeding program depends mainly on the direction of the correlation between yield and its components and the relative importance of each component involved in contributing to seed yield. The objective of this study was to detection of traits affecting canola yield by multivariate analysis, at Khozestan Province, Iran, in the agricultural year in 2015–2016. A randomized compl...

In order to study the genetic variation among local varieties of onion in Iran, an experiment was conducted in the Research Center, Faculty of Agriculture, Tabriz University. Sixteen populations were evaluated for agronomic characteristics and also total seed proteins via SDS-PAGE. Cluster analysis and principal component analysis were used to group the onion populations under study. Analysis o...

In order to evaluate genetic diversity and determine genetic relationship of 64 Kabuli chickpea genotypes under late season drought stress, an experimental design was carried out in a simple lattice design (8×8) in 2011 on the research field of college of Agriculture and natural resource of Tehran University. Based on factor analysis, four factors were selected that in total 81 percent of the t...
