Growing understanding of the relationship between nutrition and human health has led to an increase in consumption alternative crops, new cereal varieties foods with higher nutritional values. In this study we compared contents functional-technological properties spelt (Triticum spelta L.) bread wheat (T. aestivum whole-meal flours, obtained from genotypes grown at same field trial, their corre...

for a comparison and grouping of 72 almond cultivars and genotypes, 30 traits including; 12 phenological and vegetative characters plus 18 traits related to nut and kernel were assessed, according to almond universal descriptor. the results revealed that some such traits as growth habit, flower color, nut weight, shell hardness and kernel taste carried high coefficients of variation. simple cor...

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was conducted on grain appearance in Emi-no-kizuna, a rice cultivar that has superior and stable appearance of the brown rice grain and high tolerance to high temperature stress, by using F3 lines derived from Emi-no-kizuna and Tomohonami. The investigation was performed 2013 and 2015. In summer 2013 the air temperature was higher and the larger differe...

Field experiments were conducted, aiming to evaluate whether the late-season foliar urea application (35 kg N ha−1) is effective in improving grain yield and protein-related quality ten common wheat cultivars during two consecutive growing seasons. On average, late significantly (p < 0.05) increased yields, thousand kernel, hectolitre weight. The total protein by 17.5% under application, whi...

abstract almond is an important nut tree which is cultivated in many mediterranean countries. this study was carried out to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative and quantitative characteristics and their correlation in some self-compatible and self-incompatible genotypes obtained from crossing between touno (male parent) and shahrood 12 (female parent). quantitat...

a partial set of diallel crosses conducted among seven bread wheat genotypes contain (gasspard,m86-4,m86-6,dn-11,ws82-9 and m86-12) along with 21 hybrid, based on randomized complete block design(rcbd) with three replication were evaluated. the experiment was accomplished in a research field of agriculture and natural research center of tehran province in 2012-2013 in order to study genetic ana...

Kernel weight is an important factor determining grain yield and nutritional quality in sorghum, yet the developmental processes underlying the genotypic differences in potential kernel weight remain unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the stage in development at which genetic effects on potential kernel weight were realized, and to investigate the developmental mechanisms by which ...
