Lentil is one of the most important pulse crops. It is cultivated in many parts of the world as well as in Iran. A comprehensive understanding of variation between lentil landraces is very important for breeding programs. To evaluate genetic variation of 13 landraces collected from different northwest areas of Iran, an experiment was conducted including two improved varieties using a randomized...

introduction: diabetes mellitus is an growing national and international public health concern. the number of people affected by diabetes in world by 2030 will be 69% in developing countries. regular physical activity plays a key role in the management of type 2 diabetes melitus, particularly glycemic control. it has been recommended that peoples with type 2 diabetes participate in moderate-int...

To evaluate the effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi (Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices) and Mesorhizobium Ciceri bacteria at three soil moisture levels [28% (field capacity, FC), 15% (-5 bar suction) and 9% (-10 bar tension) by weight] on morphological properties of root and aerial parts of chickpea, a greenhouse factorial experiment, arranged as a complete randomized design, was c...

Breeding based on selection indices is an effective method for improving complex traits such as yield. To assess the efficiency of different selection method, 83 exotic along with 17 Iranian safflower genotypes were evaluated at the research farm of Isfahan University of Technology using 10×10 simple lattice design with three replications in 2011. In this study, the selection indices of Smith-H...

     To evaluate relationships between morphological traits affecting grain yield of cumin herb, an experiment was conducted as split plot in a randomized complete block design with two replications in two years (2011-2012) in Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman Research Field. In this study, the main plots were two irrigation regime levels and sub-plots were forty nine cumin ecotypes which the...

In order to evaluate the yield, agronomic characteristics and response of sesame promising lines to wilting disease using multivariate methods, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2019. The genetic plant materials evaluated in this study included the superior 20 selected lines along with Oltan as the control cultivar. During the growing s...
