Abstract Changing climatic conditions and the emphasis on cultivation of genetically stable resilient varieties as well efficiently managing water mineral resources require commencement appropriate research already at stage plant breeding. For this purpose, breeders must have necessary tools not only in form an experimental network, but also statistical that enable correct interpretation obtain...

The main objective of this research was to evaluate fifteen durum wheat (Triticum durum) genotypes selected from joint project of Iran/ICARDA for drought tolerance using several indices. The trials were conducted under moderate levels of drought stress for three cropping seasons (2004-2006) in four locations in the highlands western of Iran. The combined ANOVA for grain yield over years and loc...

Advanced backcross introgression lines (BILs) developed from crosses of Oryza sativa var. Swarna/O. nivara accessions were grown and evaluated for yield and related traits. Trials were conducted for consecutive three seasons in field conditions in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Data on yield traits under irrigated conditions were analyzed using the Additive Main Eff...

The present experiment was conducted in two environments viz. irrigated and rainfed, with three replications randomized block design at Research Area of Cotton Section, Department Genetics & Plant Breeding, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (Haryana) during Kharif 2021-22. Fifty elite desi cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.) genotypes were grown as experimental materi...

during the last few decades cereals yield have increased drastically at the national level however, information about yield stability and its resistance to annual environmental variability are scare. in this study long term stability of grin yield of wheat, barley, rice, corn and overall cereals in iran were evaluated during a 40-year period (1971-2011). stability analysis was conducted using t...

An increased awareness of environmental protection and sustainable production raise the necessity incorporating selection low nitrogen-tolerant winter wheat cultivars for high yield quality in breeding process. This can be assisted by using stress screening indices. Our study aimed to evaluate compare a number indices determine select most nitrogen deficiency-tolerant further breeding. The expe...

introduction drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses all around the world. the aim of breeding studies and breeding for resistance to drought is that breeders seek to identify varieties and genetic resources to drought resistant and comparison of drought resistance among the varieties and the introduction of superior varieties to farmers. drought or imbalance between supply...
