To improve a complex character such as yield with low heritability, the use of indirect selection through other characters and a selection index based on different effective traits is recommended. This study was conducted to evaluate different selection methods by using 23 F2:4 wheat lines derived from the cross of Virmarin (susceptible cultivar) and Sardari (tolerant cultivar) at Research Farm...

Improvement of bread quality in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) depends on a thorough understanding of the genetic basis of important quality traits. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the genetic basis of wheat grain quality traits including kernel length, kernel width, 1000-kernel weight, grain protein content, Zeleni No, bread volume, moisture content, grain hardness, wate...

This experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Farm of Isfahan University of Technology in 2006 to evaluate the effects of row spacing and plant distance on the row on yield and yield components of sunflower, Hisun-36 hybrid. A split plot layout was used with a randomized complete blocks design and three replications. Row spacing (60 and 75 cm) was the main plot and plant distance o...

     To estimate heritability and association between traits traits, 148 recombinant inbred lines and their parents (Yecora Rojo and No. 49) were evaluated in Alfa lattice design with two replications under normal and water deficit conditions during two cropping season (2013-15). Results showed that there were significant differences between genotypes for all studied traits. The estimated herit...

   In order to evaluate the productivity potential of some bread wheat varieties and promising lines under no-till rainfed condition two different on-farm trials were conducted in cold (Sonqor) and warm (Sarpol-e Zahab) regions of Kermanshah province during 2017-18 cropping season. In the cold condition, 12 winter genotypes and in the warm condition 32 spring genotypes were evaluated for grain ...

Drought stress is the most important limiting factor in crop plants including maize (Zea mays L.), which is the third important world crop after wheat and rice. Water deficiency at different growth stages affects maize yield differently. To examine the response of four maize hybrids to drought stress at different growth stages, a field experiment was carried out as a split plot based on complet...

In order to evaluate cold tolerance of twenty barley genotypes under field conditions, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design at 3 sowing dates of October 5, November 5, and December 5 in Saatlu Agricultural Research Station, West Azarbaijan, Iran, during 2010-11 seasons. Also, another experiment was conducted on the same genotypes based on a completely randomized d...
