Water deficit is one of the most important abiotic factors limiting growth, which adversely affect growth and crop production. In order to study the relationship between kernel size and phenological characteristics on grain yield, 46 local bread wheat genotypes along with four varieties were evaluated in randomized complete block design with three replications under irrigation and water deficit...

This study was carried out in order to examine the contrastive relationship between seed yield and agro-morphological traits in confectionery sunflowers at molecular and phonotypical level via association mapping and sequential path model. In this study, 50 confectionery sunflower populations gathered from different regions of country were studied in completely randomized design with ten replic...

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...

The efficiency of cross-breeding programs mainly depends on the choice of the progenitors and the knowledge on the transmission of traits that breeder wants to improve. In the present study heritability rate of 65 traits related to different parts of vegetative, reproductive, nut and kernel in 12 populations (320 progenies) derived from controlled crosses of 13 local and foreign almond genotype...

     Confectionery sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) is one of the valuable crops which less is known about its variability. Fifty sunflower populations have been gathered from different regions of Iran and evaluated for agro-morphological traits in completely randomized design with 10 repetitions under pot conditions. The twenty traits including days from planting to flowering, days from planti...

Since malting process of barley is greatly affected by the seed endosperm structure, getting information about its anatomical characteristics along with physico-chemical properties would be very important. The aim of this study was to measure length, width, thickness, kernel density, bulk density, porosity, total nitrogen, reducing sugar, diastatic activity, pH and color changes during malting ...
