Selection of genotypes based on high value of heritability and forecasted genetic conditions would be an effective method for improvement of wheat cultivars. The present investigation was carried out to estimate the genetic variability of agro-physiological characters using biometrical genetic techniques in 20 bread wheat genotypes under irrigated condition. For this purpose an experiment was c...

Response of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) spectral reflectance characteristics to chlorophyll content in planting densities application rate. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 1190-1197 The leaf chlorophyll content of wheat is one of important agronomic parameters to anal...

Quick non-destructive assessment of leaf chlorophyll content (LCC) is important for studying phenotypes related to plant growth and stress resistance. This study was undertaken to investigate the quantitative relationship between LCC and different vegetation indices (VIs) on both adaxial and abaxial surfaces of white poplar (Populus alba), which has dense tubular hairs on its abaxial surface, a...

Physiological basis of genetic variability in drought response and its association with yieldand related indices is not clear in Brassica. In this study 36 accessions belonged to sevenspecies of Brassica were evaluated under normal, moderate and severe stress environments.Physiological traits along with seed yield, seed yield components, oil content and two selectionindices (stress tolerance in...

The reflectance properties of leaves are influenced by diverse biochemical components including chlorophyll, one of the key indicators related to plant photosynthesis and plant stress. Although a number of hyperspectral indices have been proposed for quantifying leaf chlorophyll concentrations, their applications are largely restricted to where they were developed and can hardly provide satisfa...

iron deficiency in soil reduces the quality of durum wheat leading to fe deficiency in human. thus, this experiment investigated the effects of foliar application of nano-iron oxide (2 and 4 g l-1), iron chelate (edta), (4 and 8 g l-1), iron sulfate (4 and 8 g l-1), and the control on grain yield and quality, yield components, chlorophyll and carotenoids contents, peroxidase (pox), catalase (ca...

castor oil due to extraordinary physicochemical properties has numerous applications in pharmaceutical, chemical, hygienic, biodiesel and nowadays in food industries. during plant growth and development, as well as during postharvest and processing, different factors may affect caster oil properties. this study was conducted to evaluate oil content and physiochemical properties under different ...
