introduction drought stress as the most important abiotic stress plays an important role in yield reduction of crops worldwide. considering the extends and problems caused by the moisture stress, agronomic and breeding strategies in reducing yield loss are essential. in this regard, the identification and selection of effective characteristics of wheat under drought stress in increasing yield, ...

mapping the QTLs of agronomic and physiological traits, 149 double haploid (DH) lines from a cross between an Australian cultivar, Clipper (salt susceptible), and an Algerian landrace, Sahara3771 (salt tolerant), were evaluated under natural saline (Yazd Station, ECsoil=10-12.8 ds/m and ECwater= 9-10 ds/m) and normal (Karaj Station, ECsoil and ECwater ~2-2.5 ds/m) environments. There were remar...

Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...

the objectives of the present study were to evaluate spring wheat recombinant inbred lines (rils) of diverse origin by estimating genetic parameters viz., variability, character association, cluster analysis, and principal component analysis (pca) for spot blotch resistance and yield components at bhu agricultural research farm during 2010-2011. grain yield per plot was significantly and positi...

a partial set of diallel crosses conducted among seven bread wheat genotypes contain (gasspard,m86-4,m86-6,dn-11,ws82-9 and m86-12) along with 21 hybrid, based on randomized complete block design(rcbd) with three replication were evaluated. the experiment was accomplished in a research field of agriculture and natural research center of tehran province in 2012-2013 in order to study genetic ana...

In order to analyze variation and find an efficient selection approach, we used crossing results between two wheat cultivars, Azar2 and 87-Zhong291. F3 plants (374 lines) and four check cultivars planted in the form of augmented experiment. For germination, seeds were irrigated once. After using multiple statistics methods such as cluster analysis, 79 different lines were selected and used for ...
