quantitative valuations of observed heterosis for 11 traits of 15 f1 hybrids generated by half diallel crosses of six diverse rice cultivars (domsefid, hashemi and binam, three iranian local cultivars; dorfak, kadous and ir30, three improved cultivars), were made in this study. fifteen f1 hybrids and their parents were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications at t...

background and objectives: recently, double-cropping of rice in mazandaran due to favorable climate condition is highly interested by the rice farmers. so that, after harvesting of main crop of rice, farmers can grow again one crop of rice during summer, especially in the years which climate conditions are suitable for double cropping of rice in a rice-rice growing system. therefore, developmen...

Most of the research on Phragmites australis is restricted to sites on the European continent even though P. australis occurs abundantly in many regions in the Asian and other continents under different climatic and habitat conditions. The populations used in this study were collected from different parts of Iran. All these populations were grown in the same conditions in experimental field, lo...

Panicle size has a high correlation with grain yield in rice. There is a bottleneck to identify the additional quantitative trait loci (QTL) for panicle size due to the conventional traits used for QTL mapping. To identify more genetic loci for panicle size, a panicle developmental trait (LNTB, the length from panicle neck-knot to the first primary branch in the rachis) related to panicle size ...

to identify qtls controlling grain yield and yield components, an f2 population consisting of 188 plants derived from the cross between two rice pure lines, binam and kadous, were grown in research field of faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan, rasht, iran, in 2008, and were recorded for 9 important traits related to grain yield. to construct linkage map, 85 marker of ssrs and...

A study was conducted to evaluate the genetic variability parameters, correlation and path coefficient analysis for eight yield related traits in segregating F2 population of an aerobic restorer AR 9-18 × YPK 198 (Donor enhancing genes Gn1a OsSPL14) at ICAR-IIRR, Hyderabad during kharif, 2019. The results indicated that, productive tiller number, grain number per panicle plant showed high PCV G...

Scarcity of water for irrigation is an alarming issue limiting crop production worldwide and is becoming increasingly severe with the passage of time in Pakistan. Rice production in Pakistan is thus, being adversely hampered by the shortage of water. The study was therefore, contemplated to determine the effect of drought stress on some physiological and agronomic parameters of three rice culti...
