With the aim of comparing the grain yield and yield components of 16 oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.) mutant lines with cultivars Talayeh, Zarfam, Express and Okapi as check cultivar an experiment was conducted based on  randomized complete block design with three replications during 2015-2016 cropping season in experimental field of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute (SPII) in Karaj. Analysi...

Association mapping is a technique with high resolution for QTL mapping based on linkage disequilibrium and has shown more promising for describing genetically complex traits. In addition, it is a powerful tool for describing complex agronomic traits and identifying alleles that can contribute to enhance the desired traits. In this study, whole genome association mapping was used in a set of 14...

Drought is one of the main dangers for optimum production of wheat. Achieving optimal results in breeding programs require to make informed choices of parents based on general and specific combining ability.In order to study the genetic characteristics, general and specific combining abilities and gene actions under drought stress conditions, a half diallel cross including 9 varieties of wheat ...

Half diallel crosses of eight bread wheat cultivars were used to estimate the genetic parameters and types of genetic control for yield and yield components, and to determine the effects of environmental factors on these parameters. Parents and their F2 hybrids were grown in a randomized block design under irrigated and stressed (terminal drought) conditions. For all traits, except for number o...

In order to study the effect of foliar application of Fe, Zn and Mn on yield, yield components and protein content of two varieties of grain millet an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research field of Birjand branch, Islamic Azad University at 2010.  In this study two millet varieties including Bastan (Setaria italica) a...

Finding the appropriate parents for breeding programs is the main aim of selecting in drought tolerant crops and landraces under stresses conditions. In present survey, eigthey wheat landraces and varieties from different areas of Iran were evaluated in Gorgan agricultural research station (as a normal or potential yield) and Mazrae-Nemoneh (as under stress condition) during two years (1999-200...

In order to investigate the effect of water deficit tension on different growth stages on yield, yield components and produced grain quality of sorghum seeds cultivars,  an experiments was performed as split plots based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications in Isfahan Ghiam Cultivation and Cattle Farm Company in 2017. The main factor including irrigation cut at four levels...
