Awns are the important structures of inflorescence in many crops that belong to Poaceae family. In addition, they actively participate photosynthesis, transpiration, seed dispersal, and self-planting. The Elymus nutans Griseb. is an important, self-pollinated, allohexaploid (2n = 6x 42) perennial native forage grass Qinghai-Tibet Plateau shows variation awns length. However, changes anatomical ...

heat stress is one of the main obstacles for crop production in many areas of the world including southwest of iran. in order to evaluation the effect of heat stress on yield, yield component, and mopho-phenological traits of wheat, an experiment was conducted during 2010-2011 under normal (optimum sowing date) and heat stress (late sowing date) conditions on 11 wheat genotypes including yavaro...

seed dormancy has a critical role in ecological adaptation of wild plant species such as hordeum spontaneum, a wild relative of barley. in this study, 192 ecotypes of hordeum spontaneum maintained in national plant gene bank of iran (npgbi) originating from different climatic zones of the country were evaluated. morphological, phenological and physiological traits were recorded in the field. af...

in order to study the realationship between genetic diversity and different characteristics associated with grain yield in barley, 28 genotypes of barley cultivars contain seven cultivars and 21 hybrids were evaluated in randomized complete block (rcb) design with three replications. cultivars were valfajr, makuei, kavir, rayhan, gorgan, nusrat and nimroz. this study was carried out in research...

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is one of the serious problems for wheat production, especially in rainy regions. Although seed dormancy is the most critical trait for PHS resistance, the control of heading time should also be considered to prevent seed maturation during unfavorable conditions. In addition, awning is known to enhance water absorption by the spike, causing PHS. In this study, we con...
