To identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the traits which could be used as the selection index for increasing of grain yield, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Norstar and Zagros cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The measured characters consisted of peduncle weight, ...

The study was carried out to evaluate the combining ability and heterosis of seven parents their 21 half-diallel F2 populations for yield quality traits during 2013-14 season in randomized complete block design with three replications. Significant differences were observed among genotypes, GCA (general ability) SCA (specific effects all traits, except spike length. best combiner identified as E...

Awns are the important structures of inflorescence in many crops that belong to Poaceae family. In addition, they actively participate photosynthesis, transpiration, seed dispersal, and self-planting. The Elymus nutans Griseb. is an important, self-pollinated, allohexaploid (2n = 6x 42) perennial native forage grass Qinghai-Tibet Plateau shows variation awns length. However, changes anatomical ...

in order to study the effects of nitrogen and complementary irrigation on yield and its components of rainfed barley sahand cultivar, an experiment was conducted on split plot based on randomized completely block design with four replication in baft area at 2009-2010. factors were: four levels of nitrogen (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha as pure nitrogen) from urea source as factor b and four levels of ...

Stimulus selectivity of sensory neurons is often characterized by estimating their receptive field properties such as orientation selectivity. Receptive fields are usually derived from the mean (or covariance) of the spike-triggered stimulus ensemble. This approach treats each spike as an independent message but does not take into account that information might be conveyed through patterns of n...
