Spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the most important cereal in Iceland and its national breeding program aims to select genotypes adapted environment. A critical step understand adaptation of Nordic material a cool maritime climate assess genotype by environment interaction (GxE). In this study, we evaluated yield thousand-kernel weight (TKW) 32 spring seven Icelandic environments. We appli...

introduction studies on the fall-winter sowing of chickpea were commenced in 1974-75 at mediterranean regions. for example, singh et al, (1997) studied some chickpea cold and ascochyta blight tolerant genotypes in fall-winter sowing for 10 years (1983-1993) on three regions in syria and lebanon under rain-fed conditions. the mean of seed yield for 10 years in the fall-winter sowing was 1686 kg....

Context Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) adaptation is highly dependent on crop lifecycle duration, particularly the time at which flowering occurs in a specific environment. Frost, low solar radiation, heat and drought can significantly reduce yield if flowers too early or late. genotypes have different durations determined by plant responses to temperature (thermal accumulation vernalisation) pho...

Abstract Changing climatic conditions and the emphasis on cultivation of genetically stable resilient varieties as well efficiently managing water mineral resources require commencement appropriate research already at stage plant breeding. For this purpose, breeders must have necessary tools not only in form an experimental network, but also statistical that enable correct interpretation obtain...

Levels and components of non-hypersensitive resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to leaf rust (Puccinia triticina) were studied at seedling and adult plant stage in green house and field conditions during 2001 at Wageningen University, The Netherlands. In seedling stage, level of non-hypersensitive resistance or partial resistance was assessed from latency period (LP), infection frequency...

This study was conducted to determine drought tolerance genotypes with superiority in different stressed environments. To screening quantitative indices of drought tolerance, genotypes of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) were tested in a complete randomized block design with three replications under two different water regimes (irrigated and rainfed). Significant positive correlatio...
