One of the effective indirect selections methods for improving grain yield and its components is the selection index. In order to develop a suitable selection index for simultaneously increasing yield and its related traits, 100 sunflower inbred lines from different geographical origins were evaluated in randomized complete block designs with three replications at Urmia University in 2015 ...

In order to estimate the number and inheritance of controlling genes for grain yield and some of the related traits in barley, Afzal and Radical varieties along with their F1, F2 and F3 generations were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Head weight, head length, number of heads, number of spikelets, awn length, hundred grain weight, grains per head, straw yi...

Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia Scop.) is a perennial legume widely adapted to environmental conditions and has been successfully used as a pasture and hay forage in Iran. This experiment was carried out to investigate yield potential and genetic variation of morphological, agronomic and qualitative traits using 10 Iranian sainfoin populations. The experiment was conducted as a randomized compl...

This study was performed to investigate the effects of drought stress on agronomic traits, post-drought recovery, and survival of tall fescue genotypes in the Research Farm of the Isfahan University of Technology located in Lavark, Najafabad, central Iran. In this study, 67 tall fescue genotypes, including three groups of the early, medium, and late in terms of flowering were studied. All genot...
