Drought and changes in weather conditions, cause damage and reduce their agricultural products. The fact that durum wheat, after common wheat or Simultaneous with that, is one of the major sources of food supplies, makes it a necessity to identify its drought tolerant species.This article reports an experiment on the impact of different levels of drought ( 5,10,20, 25 percent of field capacity)...

Objectives: Several studies indicate that amyloid ß (Aß) peptide deposits and neurofibrillary tangles have key roles in pathogenesis and progression of the late-onset Alzhimer’s disease. Likewise it has been shown that inflammatory reactions play a significant role as well. Inflammatory mediators such as complement, chemokines and cytokines activators and inhibitors can releas...

Identification of adapted genotypes with high grain yield is the most important goal in durum wheat breeding programs. To study adaptation and grain yield stability of durum wheat genotypes, 18 durum wheat promising lines with two commercial durum and bread wheat cultivars were used. The durum wheat genotypes were evaluated in four locations; Isfahan, Karaj, Kermanshah and Neishabour in tempera...

In current research, the expression level of Dx2 and Dy12 genes on Glu-D1 locus that encoding the high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs), with negative impact on quality of bakery in genotype mutant bread wheat called RO-3 with high quality of bakery and its parent (Roshan) with low quality of bakery was investigated. For this purpose, sampling was performed grains at intervals of 5,...

Decrease the plant height using the Rht genes is one of the main strategies to improve the resistance to lodging and fertilization and to increase the productivity in wheat. In Iran, like to other parts of world, these genes are entered to new introduced and released varieties. To study allelic diversity of two main dwarf genes (Rht-D1b and Rht-B1b) and their effects on morphological traits of ...

To determine the yield stability and adaptability of the genotype of tobacco, 5 genotypes of flue-cured tobacco were evaluated in experiment using a randomized completely block design (RCBD) with three replications at two locations including Rasht and Tirtash tobacco Research Centers (IRAN), during the growing season of 2008-2010 (four environment). The interaction of genotype × environment in ...

This study was carried out in two separate experiments in order to evaluate the responses of different safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) genotypes to salinity at germination and vegetative growth stages. In both experiments, thirteen safflower genotypes were investigated under non-saline and saline conditions (100 mM sodium chloride). Germination experiment was done in the seed laboratory and...

Existance of genotype × environment interaction effects are constraints in evaluation and release of new cultivars. In order to evaluate new high-yielding promising lines and assess their yield stability, an experiment was conducted with ten promising genotypes of rice and two control variety (Shiroudi and Fajr) in two regions of Mazandaran (Deputy of Rice Research Institute in Amol and Ghavdas...
