Grain yield of the rice can be enhanced through genetic manipulation of the yield components. Thousand grain weight is an important component which can be improved through conventional as well as molecular breeding approach. A major effect novel genomic region, TGW10, for high grain weight was identified through a bulked segregant analysis approach in Azucena × IR64 population. Markers associat...

a 7×7 complete diallel cross experiment was performed to study the genetic relationship 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,...

in countries such as iran which will be faced water deficit as the main challenge in the future and the food production is going to be dependent to water recourses, wheat water-deficit tolerant and adapted genotypes release is one of the most important strategies under such a condition. in order to study the adaptation and terminal water deficit stress tolerance, fifteen bread wheat lines and c...

to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) severely affect small ruminant production worldwide. Increasing problems of anthelmintic resistance have given strong impetus to the search for alternative strategies to control GIN. Selection of animals with an enhanced resistance to GIN has been shown to be successful in sheep. In goats, the corresponding information is comparatively poor. Therefore, the prese...

terminal heat and drought are the main constraints for wheat production in the vast and diverse semi-tropical rainfed regions of iran. high temperature stress during wheat’s reproductive stage is particularly detrimental, reducing both individual kernel weight and kernel number. identification of adapted genotypes can improve grain yield and its stability under heat stress conditions. selection...
