The precision of evaluation for agronomic traits is very important in the field experiments to determine the genetic potential of genotypes or effect of treatments. The precision of the experiment mainly depends on the number of replications. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of number of replications on the precision of genotype evaluation, estimation of variance compon...

In order to determine the heritability and genetic parameters of some agronomic traits in barely (Hordeum vulgare L.) cultivars, a seven-parent half diallel (F1 crosses + parents) was conducted in the non-stress and salt stress (8 and 12 ds m-1) conditions in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Genetic analysis was performed by Hayman’s method and Griffing’s fixed model,...

This study was done to investigate and compare fruit yield, yield components, morphological traits and fruit quality of greenhouse tomato genotypes in order to use them as selection criteria. Progenies of 49 crosses of greenhouse tomato together with their 13 parents were evaluated using Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The highest amount of fruit yield was observed in ...

Canola as an oil plant that is considered as an important plant among other oilseed plants due to its high seed performance as well as oil content. Genetic diversity is necessary for breeding program and increasing selection efficiency. This study was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity and heritability of yield and some morphological traits in spring rapeseed, at Dezful, Khozestan P...

Early vigor is an imperative trait and its role become more important under drought stress condition. Genotypes with better early vigor cover above the soil plane, reduce evaporation of soil surface and increase weed competitiveness. In this research, a half diallel mating design was generated from crosses between seven bread wheat to study the genetic of early vigor. Parents and F1 progenies w...

Study of heritability, types of genes action and determination of effective breeding strategy to improve physiological and morphological traits especially under drought stress conditions are very important.  For such purpose, an experiment was carried out using the generations of the crosses between two pure lines (Kavir × Roshan) under drought stress and non-stress conditions based on randomiz...
