Two durum wheat trials were carried out in Mediterranean conditions during 2010/2011 and 2011/2012 growing seasons at Plant Breeding Station-Elvas (Portugal). The experiments were conducted under rainfed conditions however, in 2012, due to extreme drought it was necessary to use artificial irrigation between booting and mid grain filling stage. Thirty durum wheat genotypes were studied and six ...

This study was carried out to determine grain yield and components of five bread wheat genotypes 20 advanced lines at K?rklareli Tekirda? locations in 2017-2018 cropping year. The experiments were arranged a randomized complete block design with four replications. In the study, (GY), plant height (PH), spike length (SL), number spikelets/spike (SS), grains/spike (KS), weight/spike (KWS), test w...

Kernel weight is important for plant breeders to select high productive plants. The determination of relationships between kernel weight and some fruit-kernel characteristics may provide necessary information for plant breeders in selection programs. In the present study, the relationships between kernel weight (KW) and 7 fruit-kernel characteristics: Fruit Length, (FL,), Fruit Width (FW) Fruit...

The deficiency of micronutrients in the human diet is widely recognised as a global problem. objective this study was to assess content two essential minerals, iron and zinc, milling streams old heritage wheat cultivars that have not been produced for more than half-century discover potential parent lines with high mineral breeding. Kernel size seven Serbian evaluated ash content, thousand-grai...

In bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), kernel parameters are significant grain quality characteristics that affect yield and milling as well market price. Utilization of synthetic hexaploid donor to harness the diverse alleles for broadening genetic base is a novel breeding strategy programs across globe. An experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) season 2017–18 2018–19 at research farm I...

Objective: Wheat is the most important crop in Iran. Self sufficiency in wheat production is one of the economic and food safety policies in the country. In spite of the efforts which have been made in this area, the mean of wheat yield in Iran is less than its world average. Methods: In order to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the trai...
