Development of superior crop varieties is the prime objectives of all plant breeding programs. To determine genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance, 24 elite bread wheat lines were planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar under rainfed conditions. Data were recorded on days to heading, days to maturity, plant he...

BACKGROUND: Management of nutrients, especially nitrogen, in order to have economic production, maintain sustainable agriculture and provide food security, is considered to have an important priority. OBJECTIVES: Current study was conducted to evaluate effect of different level of nitrogen fertilizer and vermicompost on quantitative and qualitative traits of w...

ALCAROIDES is a single-gene recessive mutation in Hordeum uulgare var. ‘Bonus having pleiotropic effects on plant development. A sac-like structure forms at the lemma awn base. and the leaves of calcaroides plants are occasionally twisted or curled, and acquires a brown mottled appearance after obtaining full maturity. In a previous publication (STEBBINS and PRICE 1971), evidence was presented ...

Seed shattering is a key constraint to improvement of seed yield in perennial ryegrass and, as result, retention an essential trait for breeding this valuable crop. It unclear whether sources are available plant breeders. Field studies were conducted near Corvallis, OR 2 yr (2017–2018 and 2018–2019) identify genetic variation ascertain there was phenotypic traits that may contribute loss due sh...

with increasing the world population, and needing to feed it, the yield enhancement of cereals crops is of the most important approaches meet this target, which is achieved via identifying the effective factors underlay yield of cereals like wheat. this experiment was conducted to evaluate the grain yield and its association with some contributed traits in a doubled-haploid (dh) wheat populatio...

plant spacing and nitrogen are the most important factors for increasing tuberose quality and quantity. in this study, field experiment carried out as factorial randomized completely block design (rcbd) in 3 replications. different levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 kg/ha) of ammonium nitrate was used. second factor was different plant spaces (10, 15, 20 and 25 cm). results showed th...
