An experiment was conducted with 36 accessions of traditional (local) Boro rice germplasm accessions of three different groups (20 accessions as Kaliboro, 12 as Jagliboro and 4 as Tepiboro) during Boro season 2004 at BRRI farm to identify the duplicates with the help of morph-agronomic characters. On the basis of D values, the 36 genotypes were grouped into six clusters with a range of intra (0...

to assess heritability, gene action and combining ability of rice varieties for characteristics related to grain appearance and cooking quality, the progenies derived from direct and reverse crosses of the 6×6 complete diallel together with their parents included hashemi, hassani, shahpasand, kadous, vandana and ir36 were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications in th...

due to cereal are affected by drought stress in their lifetime. in order to study gene action of bread wheat under drought stress condition, a generation mean analysis was performed using f1, f2 and f3 generations derived from roushan and kavir. generation mean analysis was performed based on joint scaling test. genetic parameters including additive effect (d), dominance effect (h), additive×ad...

In order to determine the responses of morphological characteristics, yield and yield components of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) to plant density and weed interference duration, a factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at the Rice Research Institute of Iran (RRII) in Rasht, in the 2008 growing season. The factors comprised plant density a...

Seventy genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were evaluated during Kharif 2012 to study the nature and extent of correlation among yield and yield attributing characters, days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, number of effective tillers per plant, plant height, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, 1000-grain weight, grain yield per plant, kernel length, kernel breadth and L/B...

salinity tolerance is a genetically and physiologically complex trait, controlled by quantitative trait loci (qtls). in order to map the qtls associated with agronomic and physiological traits, 149 doubled haploid lines derived from a cross between clipper (salt susceptible) and sahara 3771 (salt tolerant) barley genotypes were evaluated under natural saline-stress and non-stress conditions usi...

JANMOHAMMADI MOHSEN, SABAGHNIA NASER, NOURAEIN MOJTABA. 2014. Path Analysis of Grain Yield and Yield Components and Some Agronomic Traits in Bread Wheat. Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 62(5): 945–952. Development of new bread wheat cultivars needs effi cient tools to monitor trait association in a breeding program. This investigation was aimed to charact...

Selection indices provide useful information to breeders who usually base selection on means and ranks. Knowledge on selection criteria for improving tef grain yield is very limited. Accordingly, the objective of this study was to develop selection criteria for improving tef grain yield through indirect yield component selection via a selection index. Different trait combinations along with thr...
