drought stress is considered as the most important environmental abiotic stress, affecting grain yield of crop plants especially in arid and semi arid regions. increasing and utilization of the genetic diversity can be a useful strategy in breeding for drought resistance. in this study, twenty iranian durum wheat landraces along with two check cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete b...

introduction drought stress as the most important abiotic stress plays an important role in yield reduction of crops worldwide. considering the extends and problems caused by the moisture stress, agronomic and breeding strategies in reducing yield loss are essential. in this regard, the identification and selection of effective characteristics of wheat under drought stress in increasing yield, ...

this experiment was conducted in safi abad agricultural research center of dezful in order to study the effect of seed deterioration and plant density on germination, seedling establishment, yield and yield components of hull-less barley with in 2011- 2012. treatments included three levels of seed deterioration: (control, 72 and 96 hours) and five plant densities (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 pla...

Abstract In order to study the inheritance of grain yield and its components in bread wheat, two cultivars, Karchyya(drought and salinity tolerant) and Gaspard (sensitive to drought and salinity stress) were crossed.Parents together with F1, F2, F3, BC1and BC2 generations were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008-2009 growing season.Grain weight per...

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...
