effects of drought stress and chemical treatments was studied on growth and developmental traits of four barley cultivars using a split- split plot design (rcbd) in agricultural research farm, kerman university. main plots consisted of irrigation (control and drought stress after flowering), sub-plots consisted of four barley cultivars ( ʻnosratʼ, ʻafsalʼ, ʻyousofʼ and ʻuh12 lineʼ) and sub-sub ...

Grain yield of the rice can be enhanced through genetic manipulation of the yield components. Thousand grain weight is an important component which can be improved through conventional as well as molecular breeding approach. A major effect novel genomic region, TGW10, for high grain weight was identified through a bulked segregant analysis approach in Azucena × IR64 population. Markers associat...

Genetic improvements have significantly contributed to wheat production. Five wheat cultivars-widely grown in north China in the 1950s, 1990s, or 2010s-were grown in field experiments conducted in the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 growing seasons. This study evaluated the genetic progress in wheat grain yield and its related traits in north China and explored how breeding and selection have influence...

a knowledge of physical properties of sunflower seed is essential for the design and development of such processing equipment as handling, separating, dehulling and storing. in this research, physical properties of sunflower seed, (azargol variety as a case of study, was investigated at various moisture contents (3-14% d.b) and in three categories of big, average and small sizes samples. the re...

Common methods of weight loss assessment in stored grain include the standard volume weight (SVW), count and weigh (C&W), the thousand grain mass (TGM) and the indirect with a conversion factor (CF) which have been used in varying storage environments. Apart from accuracy and reliability, practical application may limit their use in rural areas. Three of the methods: (SVW) or Bulk density (BD),...

effects of drought stress and chemical treatments was studied on growth and developmental traits of four barley cultivars using a split- split plot design (rcbd) in agricultural research farm, kerman university in 2013-14. main plots consisted of irrigation (control and drought stress after flowering), sub-plots consisted of four barley cultivars (ʻnosratʼ, ʻafsalʼ, ʻyousofʼ and ʻuh12 lineʼ) an...
