genetic diversity in bean collection can be used in breeding program for selection of genotype with desirable agronomic traits. fifty two accessions of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris) has been evaluated for genetic diversity of agronomic traits, grain quality and determination of association between grain yield and some morphological traits at research farm of national plant gene bank of iran,...

abstractbackground and objectives: black mustard (brassica nigra (l.) koch) is an annual plant belongs brassicaceae. it has a variety of uses in traditional medicine for rheumatic and neurological pain. growth and development and production of medicinal plants, like other plants is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. select the most appropriate planting date and the most favorable ...

this research was investigated to study relationship among seed yield, seed yield components and morphological traits and their direct and indirect effects on seed yield of 100 safflower genotypes in two water environments (normal and drought stress) at research farm of isfahan university of technology during 2012. seed yield had positive correlation with number of head per plant, seed per head...

Dominance may be an important source of non-additive genetic variance for many traits of dairy cattle. However, nearly all prediction models for dairy cattle have included only additive effects because of the limited number of cows with both genotypes and phenotypes. The role of dominance in the Holstein and Jersey breeds was investigated for eight traits: milk, fat, and protein yields; product...

the aim of this study was evaluation of some of characters, estimation of their heritability and their relationship in 104 recombinant inbred lines population of durum wheat under pot and field conditions. the inbred lines, their parents and control genotypes were evaluated in completely randomized design in 3 replications at pot study and in augment design at field condition. analysis of varia...

Heterosis over better parent for seed yield and its component traits were studied in 28 crosses derived from a diallel mating involving 8 diverse parents of lentil. For seed yield heterosis ranged from -1.73 to 48.35 (%). Twenty two crosses had positive and significant heterosis for seed yield, out of them 9 crosses viz., DPL 62 x K 75, PL 4 x K 75, B 18 x Lens 830, PL 4 x B 18, B 18 x K 75, PL...

Vernonia galamensis Cass is a huge potential industrial crop with very high content of vernolic acid in the seed oil. The experiment was carried out to determine the effect of inter- and intra- row spacing on the yield and yield related traits of Vernonia galamensis Cas.The experiment was conducted for two years during 2014-2015 on experimental field of Wondo Genet Agricultural research center,...
