Kernel morphology characteristics of wheat are complex and quantitatively inherited. A doubled haploid (DH) population of the cross RL4452/'AC Domain' was used to study the genetic basis of seed shape. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analyses were conducted on a total of 18 traits: 14 grain shape traits, flour yield (Fyd), and three agronomic traits (Plant height [Plht], 1000 Grain weight [Gwt], ...

identification and evaluation of indigenous genotypes of fruit trees are matter of consideration at the first step of the breeding programs. in order to study genetic diversity and to identify promising genotypes, 14 different genotypes of walnut in minoodasht region in golestan province (north of iran) were evaluated. traits such as nut shape, kernel color, ease of removal of kernel halves, ke...

a randomized complete block design with four replications and a split plot arrangement was conducted in 2010, in order to study the effect of limited irrigation on yield and yield component of sweet corn. water levels were (100%, 80%, and 60% replacement of plant water requirement) which served as main plots. subplot was a factorial arrangement of three different sweet corn varieties (merit, ob...

Problem statement: This experiment was carried out for study the effects of chemical and biological fertilizers and interaction between them on some physiological characteristic and yield and its components of seed corn in two different irrigation. Approach: The experiment was conducted in a split plot factorial with completely randomized block design using four replications. Sub plots consiste...

for a comparison and grouping of 72 almond cultivars and genotypes, 30 traits including; 12 phenological and vegetative characters plus 18 traits related to nut and kernel were assessed, according to almond universal descriptor. the results revealed that some such traits as growth habit, flower color, nut weight, shell hardness and kernel taste carried high coefficients of variation. simple cor...

reported grain yield increased 3.9 and 7.4% cycle 1, respectively, over two cycles of selection in barley Increasing kernel weight has been proposed as a method to increase (Hordeum vulgare L.). Durum wheat (Triticum turflour extraction in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Recurrent selection was initiated to increase kernel weight while maintaining gidum L. var. durum) grain yield improved ...
