a total of 165 wheat landraces with their originated from northwest regions of iran were studied at research station of agricultural faculty, univ. of tabriz, using two experimental designs in two spring and fall growing seasons. during these experiments, growth habits of 104 wheat landraces were assessed and their representative seeds harvested in similar conditions. these landraces were analy...

in order to study grain yield, yield components and growth indices in wheat, the experiment was carried out with five wheat cultivars at rbcd arrangement with 4 replications at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources. the cultivars included zagros, tajan, kohdasht, durum and n81-18 line. to measure studied traits (leaf, stem and shoot dried weight and leaf area) fifteen...

the 1rs chromosome segment derived from petkus rye carries genes for resistance to three wheat rust diseases, namely lr26 for resistance to leaf rust (caused by puccinia triticina), yr9 for resistance to stripe rust (p.striiformis f. sp. tritici) and sr31 for resistance to stem rust (p. graminis f. sp. tritici). since sec-1 is tightly linked with the three rust resis-tance genes electrophoresis...

In this study, 321 winter and spring wheat genotypes were analysed for twelve nutritionally important minerals (B, Cu, Fe, Se, Mg, Zn, Ca, Mn, Mo, P, S and K). Some of the genotypes used were from multiple locations and years, resulting in a total number of 493 samples. Investigated genotypes were divided into six genotype groups i.e., selections, old landraces, primitive wheat, spelt, old cult...

twentieth century had faced considerable increase in crops yields. nonetheless, it is postulated that world population will reach 10.4 billion until 2050 which means the demand for agricultural crops production should be increased between 60 and 110 percent. in the present study, improvements in grain yields of wheat, maize and rice during the recent decades in iran were studies through analyzi...

Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol. 3, No. 3, September 2009 279 Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis Westend f. sp. tritici) is a major disease threat of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in the Pacifi c Northwest region of the United States. Few soft white spring wheat cultivars currently in commercial production have adequate levels of stripe rust resistance to prevent the need for fun...
