although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. a diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...

A study was carried out to assess the combining ability of ten CMS lines with four testers using line x tester method. Biometrical observations were taken for days 50% flowering, plant height, head diameter, maturity, volume weight, hundred seed yield /plant, oil content and yield/plant.  Specific combing variance greater than general all characters which indicated that non-additive gene a...
