A study was conducted on genetics of some important agronomic traits (number of productive tillers per hill, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), number of spikelets per panicle and 100-grain weight) in rice during 2012-13. Two lines were crossed with five testers in line × tester fashion to produce 10 F1 hybrids. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotyp...

In the short crack regime of the fatigue process, grain boundaries in steels are barriers against crack growth. In this paper, we use: (1) a method involving crack density; and (2) a method of dimensional analysis, to evaluate the effects of grain size and grain-boundary resistance on short crack behaviour and fatigue life. The results show that the fatigue life increases with a decrease in gra...

effect of different amounts of foliar- and soil- applied n were evaluated in a factorial arrangement of rcbd with three replications at the agricultural research station of gorgan in 2004-2005 growing season. two promising lines of bread wheat, two levels of foliar application of nitrogen (0 and 5%) at tillering and booting stage, with five rates of 0, 45, 90, 135 and 180kg n/ha as urea were us...

genetic variation is necessary factor for continued breeding and increasing genetic gain from selection in crop plants. to evaluate genetic variation and genetic gain from selection in bread wheat, 45 genotypes consisting of 9 cultivars and their 36 crosses were grown in a randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of isfahan university of technology. the phenotyp...

a field study was conducted in qaen region using complete randomized blocks with three replications to study the effect of organic manure, zinc and boron on yield and yield components of millet and grain chemical composition. the treatments included factorial arrangement of municipal solid waste compost and cow manure (each at 25 ton ha-1), zn (0, 50 kg ha-1) and b (0, 10 kg ha-1) by using thei...

continual heat stress affects approximately 7 million hectares of wheat in developing countries, while terminal heat stress is a problem in 40% of temperate environments, which cover 36 million hectares throughout the world. heat tolerance is a quantitative and complex trait that doesn’t have much success in direct selection. for this purpose, however, a thorough understanding of physiological ...
