Half diallel crosses of nine Iranian wheat cultivars were used to estimate the general and specific combining ability effects and other genetic parameters related to yield and its components. Parents with F2 generations were evaluated at Research Farm, College of Agriculture, University of Shahrekord, in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Partitioning of genotypes mean squa...

The purpose of this study was to describe the correlations between wheat grain yield (GY) and its components, under environmental stress and non-stress conditions, and recognition of the most effective yield components and their development stages in making interaction with the environment. Two generations of F3 and F4, produced from a cross between Oste-Gata (drought tolerant) and Massara-1 (s...

An experiment was conducted at Rasht Rice Research Institute, in 2001 to study trait relationships and to determine the direct and indirect effects of different characteristics on grain yield of rice (Orgza sativa L.). A 9x2 factorial experiment in complete randomized block design with 3 replications was used. The two factors were 9 cultivars, namely: Hashemi, Ali Kazemi, Binam, Sepeedroud, Nem...

Fourteen sesame lines that have preferred in primary evaluation, with local mass of Birjand (as test) and Ooltan cultivar (as overall test) were compared for two years in completely block design with 4 replication. Traits measured in this study were germination percent, number of flower per axis, number of sub branch, capsule length, plant height, number of capsules per plant, height of first c...

Among the crops, cereals have been special important and triticale is the most successful man made cereal. In present research, water deficit stress effects on 19 triticale genotypes (X Triticosecale wittmack) and two wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum), Shiraz (sensitive to water deficit stress) and Kavir (tolerant to water deficit stress) were tested. Therefore, two separate field experiments...

A field experiment was carried out during the 2013-2014 growing season in Lorestan Province (Iran) to evaluate the effect of three planting densities (30, 55, and 83 plant.m-2) on growth indices and grain yield of four chickpea cultivars (Azad, Hashem, Arman and ILC482) under the fall dry land farming condition. The experiment design was factorial based on a randomized complete block design (RC...

In order to study the grain yield attributes of sesame in the presence of nutritional treatments and different irrigation regimes, a factorial split-plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in Shahed University of Tehran, Iran during 2015-2016. The treatments included irrigation regimes (full irrigation and irrigation up to 65 and 75 BBCH s...
