in order to investigation of response of durum wheat genotypes to terminal drought stress, this experiment was conducted in neishabour agricultural research station during two growing seasons of 2004-2005 and 2005-2006. seventeen advanced durum wheat genotypes, two bread wheat cultivars and one durum wheat cultivar (i.e. 20 genotypes and cultivars) were evaluated in two separate experiments (no...

abstract a hydroponics experiment was conducted to compare effect of fe-deficiency on concentration, uptake, translocation of fe, zn, mn in some plants. a completely randomized block design in triplicates was conducted in research greenhouse. seven plants with different fe-efficiency contained two bread wheat genotypes (triticum aestivium l. cvs. backcross roshan and qods), triticale (x. tritic...

Plants, being sessile in nature, have developed mechanisms to cope with high salt concentrations in the soil. In this study, the effects of NaCl (50-200 mM) on expression of high-affinity potassium transporters (HKTs), antioxidant enzymes and their isozyme profiles were investigated in two contrasting bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes viz., HD2329 (salt-sensitive) and Kharchia65 (sal...

INTRODUCTION This study was undertaken with the objectives of formulating composite bread by utilising finger millet flour and foxtail millet flour and further to evaluate these breads for sensory, nutritional qualities, and glycemic response. METHODS Two genotypes of finger millet VL-146 and PRM-601 and one local cultivar of foxtail millet were studied. The finger millet flour (FMF) and foxt...

In order to study planting date impacts and ending season drought stress  on grain yield and  gaining weight  rate  and wheat filling period characteristics in new advanced bread wheat genotypes ,this research  is done by using plan statistical  of spilt plot  in form of complete random blocks basic  plot with 3 replications in both common separated irrigation  and ending season drought  stress...

Wheat ( L.) cultivars must possess suitable end-use quality for release and consumer acceptability. However, breeding for quality traits is often considered a secondary target relative to yield largely because of amount of seed needed and expense. Without testing and selection, many undesirable materials are advanced, expending additional resources. Here, we develop and validate whole-genome pr...

sunn pest (eurygaster integriceps put.) is one of the major pests of wheat in iran. identification of resistantcultivars is an effective integrated pest management (ipm) strategy. to identify the genetic response of wheat and triticale to sunn pest, and determine the relationship between resistance and morpho physiological traits, eight bread wheat breeding lines/cultivars, four durum wheat lin...

Wheat flour quality is an important consideration in the breeding and development of new cultivars. A strong association between high-molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) and bread making quality has resulted in the widespread utilization of HMW-GS in wheat breeding. In this study, we analyzed 242 lines of wheat, including landraces from the provinces of Punjab and Baluchistan, as well a...

The spontaneous translocation of the short arm of chromosome 1 of rye (1RS) in bread wheat is associated with higher root biomass and grain yield. Recent studies have confirmed the presence of QTL for different root morphological traits on the 1RS arm in bread wheat. This study was conducted to address two questions in wheat root genetics. First, does the presence of the 1RS arm in bread wheat ...
