Common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) is important to broaden the narrow genetic diversity of cultivated rice. To better understand the genetic variation, heritability and genetic correlations of agronomically important traits, 156 F2:3 families derived from the cross between rice (Oryza sativa) and wide rice (O. rufipogon Griff.) were evaluated under field conditions. The Analysis of Varia...

in order to investigate genetic correlation and path analysis between grain yield and yield components, fifteen early maturing hybrids of grain corn (zea. mays) using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications were evaluated in khoramabad agricultural research center, iran. the data were collected and analyzed for ear emergence date, anthesis date, maturity date, plant height, ear h...

Scarcity of water for irrigation is an alarming issue of Pakistan and the problem is being magnified rapidly with the passage of time. Shortage of water is thus, a limiting factor in increasing per unit area wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield that is staple food of most of the people. Eventually, the gap between production and consumption is widening day by day and Pakistan is now suffering fro...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of plant population and nitrogen rate on yield and yield components of corn (zea mays l, hybrid 704) in 2008 at mamasani region, fars province. the experiment was conducted as a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. experimental factors was four plant population (75000, 90000,105000, and 130000 plant h...

drought stress is one of the most important environmental stresses that affect yield of bread wheat strongly. considering that the yield achieved with the interaction of a large number of plant traits and environment, so the morphological and agronomical traits, can serve as selection criteria under environmental conditions. by genetic analysis and estimation of inheritance and mode of gene act...

Three maize hybrids (Baber, Pioneer 30P45 and Syngenta 6621) were compared for yield and yield components and correlations were worked out among the yield parameters at various nitrogen levels in an experiment conducted at Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan during summer 2009. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete blocks with split plot arrangement having three replication...

microsatellite markers were used to identify informative markers associated with traits lattice shape of pod, belly shape in pod, pod length, pod width, grain number per pod, grain weight, grain weight/pod weight, grain length, grain width, pod number per plant, grain number per plant, pod weight per plant, grain weight per plant in peanut. thirteen ssr primer pairs amplified 80 alleles among 6...
