To study grain quality traits and their relationships with high molecular weight (HMW) and low moleculor weight (LMW) glutenin subunits, 104 durum wheat genotypes were used. Six grain quality characteristics comprising wet and dry gluten content, test weight, grain hardiness, protein content and SDS sedimentation volume were studied. HMW and LMW glutenin subunits were evaluated using SDS-polyac...

A greenhouse experiment was conducted in order to evaluate the influence of different nitrogen (N) and zinc (Zn) levels on yield, yield components, seed quality and N and Zn contents of two cultivars of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). In this study, two cultivars of rapeseed (Talayeh and Opera), three N levels (100, 200 and 300 mg/kg) and three Zn levels (0, 5 and 10 mg/kg) with three replication...

Background and purpose: There is an increasing trend towards consumption of meat products in many countries. Nitrite and nitrate are used as preservative in meat products. The main problem associated with these components is formation of nitrosamine and its potential carcinogenic effects. This study investigated these components and chemical properties of ham and sausage and in Kerman. Materia...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Drought stress is the most prevalent and limiting factor in the growth and productivity of crop plants. According to the challenge of deficiency in precipitation or consecutive droughts in recent years in Iran and as a result of a shortage of irrigation water in wheat production, knowledge of the relationship between grain quality and grain yield ...

To study the effect of salt stress on quantitative and qualitative parameters of canola (Brassica napuse. L) cultivars, and determine the possible mechanisms of salt tolerance and the best salt tolerance indices, an experiment was conducted under a rain-shelter at experimental field of university of Kerman in 2004. The experimental design was a complete randomized block (RCOD) with four replica...

To evaluate heritability, phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficients, phenotypic and genotypic variances as well as relationships between some of the grain quality traits, an investigation was conducted in a randomized complete block design replicated three times in 2001, using four durum wheat genotypes PI40100, Dipper-6, Oste/Gata, Shova and their F2 and F3 progenies derived from their...
