in order to investigate the effects of drought stress on grain yield and its components, a study was carried out (2011) as split plots in randomized complete blocks design in isfahan (32° 40'  n,51° 48' e). main factor was drought stress in four levels including irrigation after 80, 100, 120, and 140 mm evaporation from evaporation pan (class a) and subplots were three cultivars (sirena, record...

In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

introduction safflower is native to iran, and is cultivated for high adaptability, low water requirement, resistance to drought and useful unsaturated fatty acid (ashri et al., 1977). identification of effective agronomic traits and relationship between them are important aims under water stress conditions. among these characters, grain yield is the most important trait that is genetically poly...

cold is one of the most important abiotic stresses in some regions of iran. to investigate of some tolerance related traits to cold condition, 22 bread wheat genotypes planted in ardabil region in 1980. after plants passed winter cold condition (135 freezing days), cell membrane stability, chlorophyll content of leaf and crown depth and grain yield of genotypes were measured. anova analysis sho...

a 7×7 complete diallel cross experiment was performed to study the genetic relationships of grain yield and some agronomic traits in rice. analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits. results of correlation analysis showed that rice grain yield was positively and significantly correlated with by (rp = 0.81, rg =0.55), hi (rp =0.35, rg =0.79), np (rp = 0.80...

More than 60% of phosphorus (P) taken up by rice (Oryza spp.) is accumulated in the grains at harvest and hence exported from fields, leading to a continuous removal of P. If P removed from fields is not replaced by P inputs then soil P stocks decline, with consequences for subsequent crops. Breeding rice genotypes with a low concentration of P in the grains could be a strategy to reduce mainte...

Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) grain and oil quality are defined by grain weight and oil percentage, oil fatty acid composition and the amount of antioxidants. The aim of this work was to establish and validate a simple model, based on published relationships, which can estimate not only yield and its components, but also grain and oil quality aspects which are of relevance for industrial pro...
