In order to investigate the effect of different irrigation regimes on some agronomic and physiological characters of three chickpea cultivars (Jam, 301 and Pirooz), a field experiment was conducted in 1998 at the Agricultural Research Farm of Tabriz University, Tabriz, Iran. A split plot experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications was used, in which irrigation...

Abstract In order to determine the best water production function (CWPF) for predicting grain yield of a soybean crop four models were evaluated. The four functions evaluated were Jensen (1968), Minhas et al (1974) and modified Stewart et al (1977) and modified Bras and Corodova (1981) models. Field experiments were carried out for evaluation of the models. The grain yields simulated by the c...

In order to identify the most important traits affecting yield in maize inbred lines and hybrids, an experiment was conducted in Shushtar City in 2009 and 2010 years. Fifteen inbred lines in 2009 and 28 hybrids in 2010 studied in two planting dates, 6 July (to coincide heat stress with pollination time and grain filling) and 27 July (normal condition) using a randomized complete block design wi...

Supplementary irrigation is one of the most effective field management practices to improve water productivity and crop yield in rainfed conditions. Time of supplementary irrigation is another important parameter affecting the enhancement of yield. In order to study the effect of supplementary irrigation time as well as planting date, two factors, namely: 1) supplementary irrigation (No irrigat...

In order to investigate the seed vigor of corn hybrid 704 after maternal plant foliar application with methanol, some micro and macro-nutrients an experiment was conducted in a factorial form based on RCBD with three replications during growing seasons of 2010-2011. Treatments were four growth stages (the 8-10 leaves, the tasseling, the seed-filling, all the stages), seven levels of foliar appl...

To investigate some quantitative and qualitative traits of genotypes a field study was performed as augmented experiment consisting four checks (Sadri, Koosha, KS21676 and KS21682) and138 genotypes. Vegetative, morphological and agronomical characteristics as well as traits related to pod and seed were studied. Statistical analysis showed that number of seeds per plant and plant height had the ...

Association mapping is a technique with high resolution for QTL mapping based on linkage disequilibrium and has shown more promising for describing genetically complex traits. In addition, it is a powerful tool for describing complex agronomic traits and identifying alleles that can contribute to enhance the desired traits. In this study, whole genome association mapping was used in a set of 14...
