Common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) is important to broaden the narrow genetic diversity of cultivated rice. To better understand the genetic variation, heritability and genetic correlations of agronomically important traits, 156 F2:3 families derived from the cross between rice (Oryza sativa) and wide rice (O. rufipogon Griff.) were evaluated under field conditions. The Analysis of Varia...

to perform stability analysis and study g*e interaction, eight commercial sugar beet varieties were evaluated in eight major sugar beet producing areas of karaj, mashad, miandoab, esfahan, shiraz, kermanshah, moghan and hamadan in three years using a randomized complete block design with four replications. the evaluated varieties were br1, 7233, pp.8, ic, 7233-p29, pp22, h5505 and 41rt. having ...

An estimation problem of the mean µ of an inverse Gaussian distribution IG(µ, C µ) with known coefficient of variation c is treated as a decision problem with entropy loss function. A class of Bayes estimators is constructed, and shown to include MRSE estimator as its closure. Two important members of this class can easily be computed using continued fractions

Pesticides that persist in soils may be taken up by the roots of plants. One way to assess plant uptake is to theoretically predict the extent of plant uptake using a mathematical model. In this study, a model was developed to predict plant uptake of pesticide residues in soils using various parameters, such as pesticide mobility within soil, plant transpiration stream, root-soil transfer rate,...

abstract in order to genetic investigation of drought resistance indices, on 25 maize inbred lines, an experiment was conducted under three irrigation regimes; normal irrigation, limited vegetative irrigation and limited reproductive irrigation. in the limited vegetative irrigation, tol (stress tolerance) index had the highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation (83.83% and 68.04%...

designing breeding programs for winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) cultivars with improved seed and oil yields requires information about the genetic variability of traits. in this study, 28 winter rapeseed cultivars were evaluated for genetic variation and relationships between 11 agro-morphological characters during 2010 and 2011. cultivars and cultivar × year interaction showed significant ...

The variability analysis showed the presence of highly significant variations for all listed genotypes tested under research experiment. Phenotypic coefficient variation traits investigation was found higher than their corresponding genotypic variation, indicating masking effect environment in expression traits. High heritability reported plant height (cm), days to 50% flowering, 1000 seed weig...

In the present investigation attempts were made to estimate genetic parameters for yield and its components in 315 genotypes of cocoyam collected from thirteen aroid growing districts. Plant height, petiole length, petiole breadth, leaf number, leaf length, leaf breadth, LAI, Inflorescence length, peduncle length, spathe length, spathe breadth, corm length, corm breadth, cormel number, cormel l...

Upland rice is important for sustainable crop production to meet future food demands. The expansion in area of irrigated rice faces limitations due to water scarcity resulting from climate change. Therefore, this research aimed to identify potential genotypes and suitable traits of upland rice germplasm for breeding programmes. Forty-three genotypes were evaluated in a randomised complete block...
