in order to evaluate yield and yield components properties of cold-tolerant chickpea under winter sowing and complementary irrigation conditions, two experiments in the context of partial balanced block design with 81 chickpea genotypes and three replications were carried out. complementary irrigation was performed during growing season including irrigation immediately after sowing, 20 days aft...

Grain yield is the most important quantitative character in breeding of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merrill), depending on both the genotypic potential and environmental conditions of soybean growing. Essentially, all of the genetic gains in soybean yield have been achieved by traditional breeding methods, involving hybridisation and phenotypic selection (CORYELL et al., 1999). Grain yield is a c...

A linear equation of regression was used for establishment of the influence of quantitative characteristics on the grain productivity in forage pea and for development of a model for breeding work. The model for pea plant with high productivity was characterized by average height of 60–70 cm, 8–10 formed pods, 30–40 seeds per plant and 160–260 g in regard to 1000-seed weight. The obtained resul...

in order to assess the performance of two soybean cultivars produced in two regions including karaj and moghan to drought stress at reproductive stages and also the impact of drought stress on yield and its components, oil and protein percent, an experiment was conducted as a split factorial based on complete randomized block design in three replications in agriculture faculty of tarbiat modare...

in order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of zn and mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two levels of mn...

in order to study the effect of the usage of vermicompost and mycorrhiza fertilizer usage on yield quantity and quality of soybean cultivar l17 in water deficit stress condition, an experiment was conducted as plots in a split at randomized complete blocks with four replications in agricultural research center in 2013 in khoramabad. the experiment treatments including irrigation in three levels...

Cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] is an annual legume of economic importance and widely grown in the semi-arid tropics. However, high-density genetic maps of cowpea are still lacking. Here, we identified 34,868 SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) that were distributed in the cowpea genome based on the RAD sequencing (restriction-site associated DNA sequencing) technique using a populatio...
