The main objective for plant breeding is to increase genetic diversity. Mutation induction is a method to increase genetic diversity associated with selection, recombination, or a combination of these approaches in plant breeding. The present research was aimed to compare efficacy of different doses of Gamma rays (150, 200, 250, 300 and 350 Gy and zero dose control) on the sesame morphological ...

this research was investigated to study relationship among seed yield, seed yield components and morphological traits and their direct and indirect effects on seed yield of 100 safflower genotypes in two water environments (normal and drought stress) at research farm of isfahan university of technology during 2012. seed yield had positive correlation with number of head per plant, seed per head...

An experiment was conducted at Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Rampur, Nepal during July 2011 to September 2011 with an objectine to determine phenotypic variability of Nepalese finger millet landraces using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis and principal component analysis. FValue of REML procedure of mixed model analysis revealed that highly significant variation wa...

Water stress and soil nutrients affect the growth of medicinal herbs as well as the quantity and quality of their essential oils. The effect of drought stress and different fertilizers on yield and morphological traits of Ajowan was studied in a split-plot experiment on the basis of a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications in Qaen, Iran. The main plot was devoted to irrigation...

in order to study the effect of spraying of abscisic acid on yield and yield components of chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) under rainfed and supplementary irrigation, a field experiment was conducted in 2010 in agricultural research station of ilam university. a split factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design was conducted. main plots were composed of two levels of irrigati...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is a native crop of asia which is grown worldwide including iran.in this study,different selection criteria including correlation,regression and path analysis were used to improve yield.the experimental design was split plot with rcbd replicated four times in which three sowing dates (5 january,4 february,and 5 march) were used in main plots and four genotypes;two ...

The present study were carried out in the Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Faculty of Agriculture, NDUAT, Faizabad during rabi season 2014-15 and 2015-16 entitled “standardization of biofortification and hydropriming for enhance seed yield and its quality parameters in chickpea (Cicer arietinum l.)” The objective of the study was assessing the comparative performance of yield and qual...

introduction fertilizers are the key components which provide plant nutrients' needs in recent years (omid jangir & sing, 1996; kapoor et al., 2007). in many cases, using chemical fertilizers has different negative environmental effects such as soil, water and air pollution, which increase environmental hazardous and production costs (jangir & sing, 1996; kapoor et al., 2007). biological activi...
