During 1998-99, a field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of residual Processed Municipal Waste Leachate (PMWL) on growth and yield of wheat (variety Roshan). The treatments consisted of residual amounts of 0, 150, 300 and 600 t/ha of PMWL and a residual N, P, K, and Zn fertilizer treatment in a randomized block design with 3 replications. In 1998, rice seedlings were transfer...

Diallel analysis was used to estimate the combining ability, gene action, gene number, heritabilties and other genetic parameters of a set of wheat genotypes. For this purpose, nine parents and their 36 crosses were evaluated for 9 traits in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 1996. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among all genotypes for all ...

The quality of Iranian breads has intensively decreased during recent years due to socio-economic factors and poor quality of flour. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of mono- and diglycerides and ascorbic acid as improvers on Iranian bread (Taftoon) quality. Three wheat type flours (Ghods, Mahdavi and Roshan wheat varieties produced in Isfahan region) were used. The effec...

In order to study inheritance of traits (Height, Peduncle length, Extrusion peduncle length, Diameter first internode, Diameter secondary internode, Diameter third internode length of secondary internode, length of third internode) associated with height in bread wheat, seven cultivars of bread wheat with their F1 progenies produced through a half diallel mating design were planted in a randomi...

The Genetic basis of grain yield and related characteristics were studied by a generation mean analysis in five crosses of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). “Roshan”, “Mahdavi”, “Inia”, “Atila” and “Goscoyin” cultivars along with their F1, F2, BC1 and BC2 populations were evaluated by a split-plot design with crosses as the whole plot in a randomized complete block design with two replicatio...
