Genetic diversity is essential to meet the diversified goals of plant breeding such as producing cultivars with increased yield, wider adaptation, desirable quality, pest and disease resistance. In this study genetic diversity and selection index of 24 genotypes of bread wheat were evaluated. The performance of 24 wheat genotypes showed that there were significant variations for the characters ...

wheat septoria leaf blotch disease caused by mycosphaerella graminicola   is one of the most  important diseases of wheat in iran and the world .evaluation the reaction of wheat genotypes and on the other hand identifying pathogen virulence factors are necessary for a successful breeding program. the aim of this study was to assess the adult plant responses of iranian bread and durum wheat geno...

Using Roche/454 technology, we sequenced the chloroplast genomes of 12 Triticeae species, including bread wheat, barley and rye, as well as the diploid progenitors and relatives of bread wheat Triticum urartu, Aegilops speltoides and Ae. tauschii. Two wild tetraploid taxa, Ae. cylindrica and Ae. geniculata, were also included. Additionally, we incorporated wild Einkorn wheat Triticum boeoticum ...

a total of 165 wheat landraces with their originated from northwest regions of iran were studied at research station of agricultural faculty, univ. of tabriz, using two experimental designs in two spring and fall growing seasons. during these experiments, growth habits of 104 wheat landraces were assessed and their representative seeds harvested in similar conditions. these landraces were analy...

abstract due to calcareous soil conditions, zinc deficiency is a yield limiting factor for wheat production in iran. one solution for this problem is the cultivation of zn-efficient wheat varieties. ten wheat cultivars (nine bread wheat and one durum wheat) with different tolerance to zn deficiency were studied in a greenhouse experiment. plants were treated with zn (10 mg zn kg-1 soil as znso4...

Two greenhouse experiments were carried out at the Institute of Biological Production Systems, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 growing seasons to study the influence of the osmotic adjustment (OA) capacity, relative water content (RWC) and specific leaf area (SLA) on tolerance to drought in 22 breeding lines, two parents and tolerant cultivar (Sahel 1) of br...

BACKGROUND Previous studies indicate that elevated amylose content in products from rice, corn, and barley induce lower postprandial glycaemic responses and higher levels of resistant starch (RS). Consumption of slowly digestible carbohydrates and RS has been associated with health benefits such as decreased risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the postprandial g...
