for comparison the growth characteristics and quantitative and qualitative yield of two summer savory species (such as satureja khuzestanica and s. rechingeri) in response to rainfed and irrigated conditions, an experiment was carried out on the basis of split-plot design in completely randomized block design with three replicates in north of khuzestan during growing season of 2012-2013. irriga...

Women's preferences for men's masculinized faces and voices were assessed after women (n = 331) were primed with images of male-on-male aggression, male-on-female aggression, pathogens, and neutral scenes. Male-on-male aggression and pathogen primes were associated with increased preference for masculine traits, but the same effect emerged in the neutral condition. We show the increased prefere...

Twenty one genotypes of six – parent half diallel were analyzed for estimating gene effects of variance, combining ability and standard heterosis for forage yield and other traits in barley. The estimates of gene effects revealed the significant role of additive genetic component (D) for the inheritance of days to 50% heading, plant height and spikelets per ear. The non-additive component (H1) ...

the main objective of this study was to understand of genetic association between quantitative and qualitative traits and also to quantify effects of selection for one trait on others in safflower. the study took place in the experimental field of the faculty of agriculture, isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran, in the 2001 and 2002. to find the best variable for selection to improve...

Evaluation of essential oil yield, morphological and phenological traits of seven populations of twoChamomilespecies )Matricaria aurea and M. recutita), were carried out using Randomized Completely Blocks Design (RCBD) in three replications in Alborz research station in Karaj, Iran during 2011-2012. Data were collected for 12 morphological and phenological traits. Analysis of variance showed si...

in order to study morphological traits, yield and yield components of 34 hybrids of corn, an experiment was carried out based on of randomized complete block design with three replications under normal irrigation condition in khorasan razavi agricultural research and natural resources center, mashhad, iran on 2009. results of analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences b...

Genomic selection can be applied prior to phenotyping, enabling shorter breeding cycles and greater rates of genetic gain relative to phenotypic selection. Traits measured using high-throughput phenotyping based on proximal or remote sensing could be useful for improving pedigree and genomic prediction model accuracies for traits not yet possible to phenotype directly. We tested if using aerial...

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...

in order to estimate heritability and gene action for grain yield and its related traits in lentil, six basic generations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment. besides seed yield per plant, plant height, pod length, and 100-seed weight, the number of pods per plant, primary branches, clusters per plant, nodes per main stem, secondary...
