this study was conducted to investigate the genotype¬×¬environment interaction effects on yield and yield components of wheat. ten cultivars of wheat were evaluated in 8 environments (combinations of two levels of nitrogen and four irrigation regimes) in growing season of 2006-2007 at the research farm of isfahan university of technology. based on the stability parameters of eberhart and russel...

for identifying drought tolerance genotypes 29 wheat genotypes as cultivar factor and irrigation and non irrigation treatments as an irrigation factor in a split block design with 3 blocks were planted at a research filed of college of agriculture, tehran university, iran. there was a low and non significant correlation (r=0.35) between yield at non irrigating (ys) and yield at irrigating (yp) ...

High Cd content in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var durum) grain grown in the United States and Canada presents potential health and economic problems for consumers and growers. In an effort to understand the biological processes that result in excess Cd accumulation, root Cd uptake and xylem translocation to shoots in seedlings of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum wheat cultiva...

Minimal tillage management of extensive crops like wheat can provide significant environmental services but can also lead to adverse interactions between soil borne microbes and the host. Little is known about the ability of the wheat cultivar to alter the microbial community from a long-term recruitment standpoint, and whether this recruitment is consistent across field sites. To address this,...

wheat is one of the most important food staff in consumption pattern of each country. more than 50 percent of energy is provided by bread in the developing countries. the aim of this study was measuring wheat losses during pre-harvest and harvest stages in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province of iran in year 2013. wheat losses at harvest stages were measured to wheat varieties in 2 levels of omid...

There is a significant potential to improve the plant-beneficial effects of root-colonizing pseudomonads by breeding wheat genotypes with a greater capacity to sustain interactions with these bacteria. However, the interaction between pseudomonads and crop plants at the cultivar level, as well as the conditions which favor the accumulation of beneficial microorganisms in the wheat rhizosphere, ...

Time-courses of the development of freezing tolerance and the expression of a cold-responsive gene wlt10 were monitored during cold acclimation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Bioassay showed that cold acclimation conferred much higher freezing tolerance on a winter cultivar than a spring cultivar. Northern blot analysis showed that the expression of wlt10 encoding a novel wheat member of a ce...

This study evaluated the effects of inhibitors on polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, the effect of the PPO inhibitor tropolone on noodle darkening, and the correlation of PPO activity with darkening of alkaline noodles. The PPO inhibitors tropolone and salicylhydroxamic acid (each at 1 microM) reduced kernel PPO activity by approximately 50% in three hexaploid wheat cultivars but did not inhibi...

Analysis of cultivar by environment (C E) interaction can improve efficiency of crop breeding efforts. Variety selection and recommendation based on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield testing trials could possibly benefit from this type of analysis as well. The objectives of the present work were to evaluate methods to identify relevant testing environments and improve the predictive value of d...

Quantitative and qualitative changes in total leaf soluble proteins were determined in a spring cv. Zagross and in a winter cv. Azar 2 cultivar of allohexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) exposed to 4°C for two weeks. The data obtained were used to test whether these different genotypes of wheat responded differentially to cold treatment. Seedlings were grown in a controlled growth chamber fo...
