Yellow rust (stripe rust), caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is one of the most destructive foliar diseases of wheat in Egypt and worldwide. In order to identify wheat genotypes resistant to yellow rust and develop molecular markers associated with the resistance, fifty F8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between resistant and susceptible bread wheat landraces w...

Background: Non-Iranian Primary Tritipyrum (2n=6x=42, AABBEbEb) set seed after Triticale (2n=6x=42, AABBRR) and Tritordeum (2n=6x=42, AABBHcHc) but, due to a few undesirable agronomic traits, it cannot fulfil the commercial expectations of farming. Objectives: To remove these deficiencies, six hexaploid Tritipyrum lines were crossed with four Iranian bread wheat cultivars which led to the...

Salt stress is one of the major constraints for wheat cultivation inIranand leads to a considerable loss in crop yield each year. In high salinity soils, the reduced osmotic potential of soil solutes may cause physiological drought. In this study the salt tolerance of different drought-tolerant bread wheat genotypes were studied by examining various agronomic and physiological traits, inclu...

Wheat is the most essential food crop and taxonomically belongs to family poaceae. Bread wheat is a Hexapliod species with 2n=6x=42 chromosomes having high genetic diversity, the genetic variation enables plant species to adapt to changing environments and provide resistance against different diseases. The scientists are highly interested to study the genetic diversity among wheat varieties mor...

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...

take-all disease of wheat (gaeumannomyces graminis var. tritici) (ggt) is one of the most destructive root diseases in the world. it has not been introduced resistant genotype against this disease. in this study, 416 genotype of bread wheat, received from different location of iran and other countries, were evaluated to take-all (t-41 isolate) in greenhouse conditions. root dry weight, shoot dr...

The organic farmers use wider range of crop varieties than the conventional farming. Bread wheat is the most favorite and the most common food crop. The organic bread wheat is usually of worse technological quality. Therefore, it is supposed to be an attractive alternative to the hulled wheat species (einkorn, emmer wheat and spelt). Twenty-five hulled bread wheat varieties and control bread wh...

abstract due to calcareous soil conditions, zinc deficiency is a yield limiting factor for wheat production in iran. one solution for this problem is the cultivation of zn-efficient wheat varieties. ten wheat cultivars (nine bread wheat and one durum wheat) with different tolerance to zn deficiency were studied in a greenhouse experiment. plants were treated with zn (10 mg zn kg-1 soil as znso4...

in order to study of drought tolerance in bread wheat genotypes, this study was conducted in maragheh dryland agricultural research station. the study included two experiments and the statistical design of each experiment was a rcbd with four replications, and 20 bread wheat genotypes that were compared under drought stress (rainfed) and supplementary irrigation. analysis of simple variance sup...

Developing high yielding and stable genotypes for wide and specific adaptation is important in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. The objective of this study was to exploit the gains from genotype by environment interaction for increased bread wheat production in eastern Africa. Thirty-three advanced bread wheat lines, along with two check varieties (Danda’a and Hidasse) were evaluated at...
