Studies of physiological diversity and its effect on the expression of traits in plants are used in breeding programs as a selective tool with the aim of selecting special attributes for creating a new product. In this study, the correlation coefficients among 17 horticultural traits of 34 genotypes from 11 different places of Semnan province were examined. A significant positive correlation wa...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the influence of chemical and physical corn kernel traits on digestibility and feedlot cattle performance. Seven commercially available corn hybrids representing a range in kernel traits were evaluated for a variety of chemical and physical traits that included test weight, 1,000-grain weight, kernel size, starch, CP, amylose, Stenvert Hardness tests ...

in order to study the effects of shading on head and its near leaves on yield and yield components of spring safflower genotypes, an experiment was conducted in factorial arrangement based on a complete randomized block design with four replications at agricultural research station, faculty of agriculture, birjand university during 2008. factors were including three spring safflower genotypes (...

this research was conducted to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative andquantitative characteristics and their correlation in 80 almond genotypes. qualitative traits were studiedaccording to gulcan descriptor. quantitative traits were analyzed as completely randomized design(crd), with 12 replications. the results showed that genotypes had significant difference i...

Water scarcity in Egypt and globally makes producing new varieties having high grain yield using less water requirements is an important goal for wheat breeders. The present research was conducted to assess the response of sixteen bread genotypes under normal irrigation (five irrigations) low (one irrigation, 25 days, after sowing irrigation.) during 2018/19 2020/21 seasons at Experimental Farm...

self pollinated cultivars of hazelnut are limited mainly due to dichogamy and self- incompability. to enhance productivity of hazelnut orchards, identification and selection of suitable polinizers are necessary. to meet this quest, collection and evaluation of iranian hazelnut germplasm have began by department of horticulture research, seed and plant improvement institute, iran, since 1994. ha...

understanding the relationship between sink and source in maize is of prime importance in maize growing regions. in this study, a field experiment was carried out during spring and summer 2007 in the experimental field of the college of agriculture, shiraz university, to examine the effects of source restriction (defoliation) on sink size (yield and its components) of  sc704 maize hybrid.  a fa...

in order to evaluate the application of methanol on yield and yield components of soybean (glycine max l., var. l 17) in field conditions, experiments were conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the field research from faculty of agricultural of islamic azad university karaj, iran, during 2008. sprayed aqueous solutions were zero (control), 7, 14, 21, 2...
