A set of eight parental diallel involving seven commercial wheat cultivars and one breeding line was made to investigate the nature of gene action determining inheritance pattern of grain quality characters. Highly significant differences were observed among the genotypes for 1000 grain weight, protein content, wet gluten and lysine content. Adequacy tests were employed to estimate the fitness ...

The experiment was conducted under the agro-ecological zone of Modhupur Tract (AEZ-28) to determine the genetic diversity among 39 rice genotypes, collected from Bangladesh Rice Research Institute, Lal Teer Seed Ltd. and Chittagong Hill Tracts. The genotypes were grouped into six clusters based on Mahalanobis’s D 2 statistics and Canonical Variate Analysis. Cluster I consisted with the highest ...

this study was performed in year 2010 to evaluate the effect of locality and date of collection on germination and growth of pimpinella aurea dc. seed. the experiment was a factorial one, based upon a completely randomized design of four replications. seeds were collected from three localities in tehran province (tochal, vardavard and lavasanat), at their initial developmental and fully develop...

this experiment was conducted in safi abad agricultural research center of dezful in order to study the effect of seed deterioration and plant density on germination, seedling establishment, yield and yield components of hull-less barley with in 2011- 2012. treatments included three levels of seed deterioration: (control, 72 and 96 hours) and five plant densities (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 pla...

in order to evaluate the variation of some of quantitative and qualitative traits of different varieties of linseed under different plant densities, an experiment was conducted in the research station of the faculty of agriculture in shahrekord univerity in 2009. this experiment was arranged as factorial in rcbd design with three replications. four linseeds originated from australia, canada, fr...

this experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012 at university of zabol. experimental treatments included phosphorus fertilizer at three levels of 0, 100 and 200 kg.ha-1 as the first factor and foliar humic acid at four levels of 0, 750, 1500, 2250 g.1000 l water as the second factor. results showed phosphorus treatment had significant effect on ...

Drought, heat and other abiotic stresses during grain filling can result in reductions in grain weight. Conserved water-soluble carbohydrates (WSC) at early grain filling play an important role in partial compensation of reduced carbon supply. A diverse population of 262 historical winter wheat accessions was used in the present study. There were significant correlations between 1000-grain weig...

To evaluate the genetic diversity in twenty barley genotypes, an experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was done at Agriculture Researches Station of Ardabil, Iran in 2009-10. Investigated traits of this study was included days to flowering, plant height, 1000 seed weight, number of infertile tiller, number of seed per spike, harvest index, days to maturity...
