Yield under water stress (YS) is used as the main criterion in the selection of wheat varieties for dry Mediterranean environments. It has been proposed that selection of genotypes using YS assisted by morphological and physiological traits associated with YS is more efficient in selecting high yielding genotypes for dry environments. A study was carried out at the Antumapu Experiment Station o...

Drought is a wide-spread problem seriously influencing durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) production and quality, but development of resistant cultivars is hampered by the lack of effective selection criteria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ability of several selection indices to identify drought resistance cultivars under a variety of environmental conditions. Twenty four duru...

evaluating of agronomic traits and their relationships with grain yield are important in plant breeding. in order to evaluate agronomic traits and their effects on grain yield, 76 durum wheat landraces as well as 4 local checks were studied in augmented design with 4 blocks under rainfed condition in maragheh and ardabil locations. the result showed that there is remarkable diversity among land...

the evaluation of gene bank germplasm collection for morpho-physiological traits is important in the breeding programs. although phenotypic variation was considered, it is likely that this phenotypic variation is largely genetic and therefore directly useable for breeders, especially for those traits with high heritability such as heading and maturity time, plant height, kernel number and weigh...

in order to determine the best traits related to indirect increasing of grain yield, five wheat genotypes (zagros, tajan, durum cul., kohdasht and n-81-18 line) were evaluated by using randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 4 replications in research field of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural recourses. the studied traits included leaf area index (lai), crop growth ra...

The aim of this study was to assess whether seed coating with microbialconsortium based on the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradicesBEG72, Glomus mossae and Trichoderma atroviride MUCL 45632 could improveseedling establishment, yield and grain quality (protein content and mineralcomposition) of wheat (Triticum durum Desf.). As a first step, a laboratoryexperiment was conducted ...
