in order to determine traits which affected grain yield in optimal irrigation and terminal drought deficit conditions, a field experiments with 16 spring bread wheat genotypes as randomized complete block design with three replications conducted in neishabour during 2009-10 cropping seasons. results of combined analysis of variance showed, significant differences between many of traits vegetati...

A rice introgression line, NIL-SS1, and its recurrent parent, Teqing, were used to investigate the influence of the introgression segment on plant growth. The current research showed NIL-SS1 had an increased flag leaf width, total leaf area, spikelet number per panicle and grain yield, but a decreased photosynthetic rate. The metabolite differences in NIL-SS1 and Teqing at different development...

source limitation during grain filling is important for both management and breeding strategies of grain crops. there is little information on the sensitivity of grain yield to various source-sink ratios in various wheat (triticum aestivum) cultivars. the objective of the current study was to evaluate the response of grain yield as well as yield components to different source-sink ratios during...

effect of nano titanium oxide, nano zinc and multiwall carbon nano tube on yield and yield components of green gram was carried out in kohkiloyeh-boyrahmad province, iran with 30 degrees 45' n and 50 degrees 44' in 2013 growing seasons. the experiment was arranged as factorial in a completely randomize block design with three replications, treatments including: four concentrations (ze...

Maize is one of the most important crops globally that provides food, feed, and bioenergy. However, shading stress threatens maize production. In this study, we investigated the effects of shading on photosynthate accumulation and distribution of summer maize in the field. Zhengdan958 (ZD958) and Denghai 605 (DH605) were used as experimental materials in a field experiment running from 2013 to ...

relationship between grain yield and its component traits can improve the efficiency of breeding programs by determining appropriate selection criteria. an investigation was carried out on barnyard millet (echinochloa spp.) global germplasm collection to investigate the association among yield components and their direct and indirect effects on the grain yield of barnyard millet. the experiment...

water shortage is the most important factors on crop production in the world. several methods of deficit irrigation are solutions for reduction of irrigation water. to understand the effects of conventional deficit irrigation and partial root zone drying treatments on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of sunflower (farrokh cultivar), one study was carried out. the research was co...

An experiment was carried out to study the variability of leaf anatomical characters of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars and their association with grain yields. Results indicated that in most of the cases cultivar differences were significant. In respect of 6th leaf anatomical characters, simple correlation coefficients indicated that most of the leaf anatomical traits had significant ne...
