the aim of this study was evaluation of some of characters, estimation of their heritability and their relationship in 104 recombinant inbred lines population of durum wheat under pot and field conditions. the inbred lines, their parents and control genotypes were evaluated in completely randomized design in 3 replications at pot study and in augment design at field condition. analysis of varia...

A split-plot experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different shade stresses on photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence of maize leaves.The experiment was designed on the south farm of Special Corn Institute, Shenyang Agricultural University, China.Data was collected from the day maize tasseled (Jul. 21) to the beginning of grouting (Aug.12 ) under 18%, 28%, 38%, 60%, an...

'Dwarf stature' maize variety offers promises to withstand unfavorable growth environments of Kharif season. But, for developing such variety, dwarf stature inbred lines must be available. Here, twenty-four F3 populations of white maize were evaluated though assessment of their genetic variability, heritability, and character association for selection of dwarf stature promising lines based on y...

to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

Objective: Wheat is the most important crop in Iran. Self sufficiency in wheat production is one of the economic and food safety policies in the country. In spite of the efforts which have been made in this area, the mean of wheat yield in Iran is less than its world average. Methods: In order to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the trai...

the identification of parental inbred lines to develop superior hybrids is a rather costly and time-consuming step in maize breeding. in some cases, pedigree information has been used to select diverse parental lines. in the case of iranian maize inbred lines, this information is not fully available. in this study we investigated the genetic distance (gd) based on simple sequence repeats (ssr) ...

To strengthen the management of maize varieties and protection intellectual property rights to new varieties, we constructed a comprehensive single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-DNA standard fingerprint database 20,075 materials covering nationally provincially approved hybrid lines, hybridized combinations, inbred lines. The was based on 200 core SNPs selected from 60 K distributed in intragen...

Nicotine represents the predominant alkaloid in cultivated tobacco. In burley varieties, during senescence and curing of leaves, nicotine can be converted to nornicotine, which is highly undesirable because of its relationship with the tobacco specific nitrosamines formation. Thus, an alternative for producing varieties with low or null nornicotine content would be to select plants or progenies...
