main objective in wheat breeding programs is to improve high yielding and stable varieties possessing desirable morpho-physiological traits. this study was conducted to determine the stability of 18 winter and facultative bread wheat genotypes. the experiments carried out in 9 experimental stations (karadj- arak- ardebil- jolgerokh- miandoab- hamedan- mashad- qazvin- khoy) using a randomized co...

to study the tolerance of genotypes under terminal drought stress, 20 promising winter and facultative bread wheat genotypes were evaluated at karadj, ardebil, arak and hamedan agricultural research stations during 2001-02 cropping season. the experimental design in all the locations was randomized complete block of three replications. grain yield (yld), harvest index (hi), grain number per spi...

The present study was carried out to determine variations in flower and dye yield chemical contents of safflower genotypes with different colors 2017–2018. dyestuff yields the genotype ranged between 6.6–12.0 kg da−1 218.1–421.7 g da−1, respectively. TPC high antioxidant capacity values were listed according color as yellow > orange red white. Gallic, rosmarinic chlorogenic acid higher orang...

introduction: gestational diabetes mellitus (gdm) is defined as abnormal glucose tolerance that is first identified or diagnosedduring pregnancy.deiodinase d2 is essential for the local production of t3 through deiodination of triiodothyroxine (t4). several polymorphisms in d2 have been described. the single-nucleotide polymorphism (snp) in d2 thr92ala is associated with decreased enzyme activi...

Near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) of intact seeds allows the non-destructive estimation of seed quality parameters which is highly desirable in plant breeding. Together with yield, oil content and quality, a main aim in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) breeding is the selection of genotypes with a low percentage of empty seeds even under cooler climates. We developed NIRS calibra...

evaluation of four safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes for oil content and fatty acidcomposition showed that oil content varied from 22.16 to 34.39% and the highest seed oilcontent was obtained from isfahan14 genotype (34.39%, respectively). among those fatty acidswere detected, linoleic acid (75.81- 77.86%) was the predominant fatty acid followed by oleic(12.57–13.75%), palmitic (6.0...

to evaluate the effect of zn sulfate foliar application on morphologic and quantitative characteristics of safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) cultivars, a field experiment carried out in ramin agriculture and natural resources university of khouzestan, iran, in a factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design with four replications, during 2012-2013. treatments consisted of two sp...
