the main objective of this study was to understand of genetic association between quantitative and qualitative traits and also to quantify effects of selection for one trait on others in safflower. the study took place in the experimental field of the faculty of agriculture, isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran, in the 2001 and 2002. to find the best variable for selection to improve...

salinity problem is continuously increasing in the arid and semi-arid regions of iran. to effectively utilize germplasm resources in breeding, it is necessary to characterize and evaluate genotypes for the desirable traits and as well for salinity tolerance. salinity tolerance of 80 wheat landraces from different parts of iran was studied in two steps. at first, the degree of salnity tolerance ...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity, relationship between morphological, agronomic and qualitative traits and to identify components of forage yield using some multivariate statistical methods in local sainfoin populations. the experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center...

the chamomile species of anthemis triumfettii (l.) all is one of important medicinal plant belong to compositae family and it grows as wild species in zagros and alborz mountains, iran. the aim of this study was to evaluation of morphological and phenological traits and their relationships with essential oil. seeds of seven accessions were sown in jiffy pots and transferred to field using rando...

Understanding how plant trait-species abundance relationships change with a range of single and multivariate environmental properties is crucial for explaining species abundance and rarity. In this study, the abundance of 94 woody plant species was examined and related to 15 plant leaf and wood traits at both local and landscape scales involving 31 plots in subtropical forests in eastern China....
