Salinity is one of a major abiotic stress, specifically on arid and semi-arid areas that has influenced on crop growth and reduced grain yield. The purpose of present study was identification of agronomic traits related to wheat grain yield variation under control and salinity conditions. In order to produce a population of 272 recombinant inbred lines (RILs), a cross between two bread wheat cu...

Drought tension and iron fertilizer play an important role in determining the grain yield and quality of oil seed products. Therefore, a split plot-factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications was conducted to investigate the effect of foliar application of iron nano-chelate and folic acid on some quantitative and qualitative traits of two sesame culti...

In order to study the effects of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer and plant density on grain yield and its components in sunflower, an experiment was conducted using 'Record' cultivar at the Research Farm of College of Agriculture, Isfahan University of Technology in 1996. Four levels of nitrogen (0, 75, 150 and 225 kg/ha) and four plant densities (65000, 75000, 85000 and 95000 plants/ha...

In order to evaluate and grouping wheat genotypes based on grain yield and important agronomic traits under drought stress, a field experiment was conducted with 43 wheat genotypes using a Randomized Complete Block design in three replication at Azad University, khorramabad, Iran in 2012-2013 cropping season. Evaluated traits were: day to maturity, day to pollination, grain filling rate, grain ...

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between morphophysiological and phenology traits with grain yield to determine the best indices of direct and indirect selection in the field of genetic improvement of aerobic rice grain yield in Khuzestan province with 12 aerobic rice genotypes. The traits such as include the grain yield as the dependent variable and total dry matter, panicle we...

  Evaluation of genetic improvement of grain yield and other traits in cultivars released in different years is useful to determine plant breeding impact on grain yield improvement, to define future selection criteria and to identify the desirable environment and traits for further assessment. This study was conducted to evaluate the genetic improvement for grain yield and other traits of twelv...
