Factor and principal component analyses are widely used in different sciences especially in agricultural science. To determine the factors that create variation between potato cultivars, in normal (non-stress) and water deficit (stress) conditions, two experiments were conducted in the form of randomized complete block design with three replications in summer 2002. Stepwise regression analysis ...

In order to study the response of 120 genotypes of rapeseed (including 100 hybrids and 20 parents) in terms of cold stress tolerance, an experiment was conducted in α-lattice design with two replications under normal (September) and late sowing (October) conditions during two years. Combined analysis of variance showed that genotypes were significantly different at 1% and there was a significan...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress as one of the most important abiotic stress is the main limiting factor of oilseed rape cultivation in arid and semi-arid climates. Therefore, the identification of drought tolerant genotypes is the essential programs in these regions. One of the appropriate methods to identify drought tolerant genotypes is the use of stress toleranc...

Drought stress is considered as one of the most important constraints to the crop production, including medicinal plants in many arid and semi-arid regions. This study was carried out to determine the most effective indices for drought tolerance and identification of tolerance genotypes under drought conditions in N. sativa. For this purpose, 36 genotypes of N. sativa were tested as a split plo...

Production of high sunflower yield is important in sunflower breeding programs. With regards to the importance of estimation of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA), genetic evaluation of sunflower seed yield was carried out in normal and water stress conditions using biplot analysis of 6×6 diallel design. Parental lines and their progenies were investigated usin...

In order to study the relationships among traits and grouping genotypes of wheat, 11 promising lines of winter wheat along with Orum, Zareh, Mihan, Zarrin  and peshgam  cultivars were evaluated under two levels of irrigation (complete irrigation and cutting irrigation from flowering to maturity) at Agricultural Research Station of Miandoab during 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 growing seasons. The exp...
