to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

An interesting approach to analyzing and developing tools for neural networks that has received renewed attention is to examine the equivalent kernel of the neural network. This is based on the fact that a fully connected feedforward network with one hidden layer, a certain weight distribution, an activation function, and an infinite number of neurons is a mapping that can be viewed as a projec...

Seed traits have been targeted by human selection during the domestication of crop species as a way to increase the caloric and nutritional content of food during the transition from hunter-gather to early farming societies. The primary seed trait under selection was likely seed size/weight as it is most directly related to overall grain yield. Additional seed traits involved in seed shape may ...

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...

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...

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important crops in the world. In this study, 13 agronomic traits of a recombinant inbred line population that was derived from the cross between Mo17 and Huangzao4 were investigated in maize: ear diameter, ear length, ear axis diameter, ear weight, plant height, ear height, days to pollen shed (DPS), days to silking (DS), the interval between DPS and DS, 1...
