This study aimed at evaluating the effect of different planting dates (different ambient temperature conditions) on the characteristics of rice panicle and yield of its cultivars in Khuzestan climate in 2010. The experimental design was a split plot in a Randomized Block Design with four replications. The main factor was the planting date with three dates (May 25th , June 9th , and June 25th ) ...

One of the most important purpose in breeding program is increasing grain yield per hectare. Using selection indices is the most effective methods of selection for simultaneous improvement of grain yield and related traits, which often have a quantitative inheritance. In this study, 29 rice genotypes (9 parents and 20 progenies) were evaluated. The numbers of filled grains in panicle and panicl...

This study was carried out in order to determine the more suitable seedling age on rice cultivars in Chaparsar Rice Research station of Mazandaran province in 2009. This experiment was laid out as split plot in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The main plots were seedling age with four levels (20, 33, 37 and 40 days) and sub plots were rice cultivars (Hashemei, Khazar, hy...

Mutagenesis has been one of the important sources of genetic diversity and Plant mutants can be important bio-resources for crop breeding and functional genomics studies. Breeding conventional methods for generating of genetic variability are of low efficiency. We showed that treatment of seeds of rice(Hashemi cultivar) with 0.8% EMS for 8 h caused visible phenotypic variations on M2 rice mutan...

Mazandaran province is an important area in rice cultivation but salinity is one the biggest constraint to obtain crop potential yield in some part of the coastal line of rice cultivated area in northern Iran. In order to find tolerant varieties and study the reaction of some newly released high yielding varieties to different levels of salinity of irrigation water a Factorial experiment was c...

Simplifying the selection procedure to improve yield of new genotypes of rice is necessary. in order to evaluate relationship among grain yield and other agronomic traits, an experiment was conducted in agricultural and natural resoures research center in 2015-2016 year. In present study, 10 rice genotypes were studied in randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Grain yield al...
