the objective of this research was to evaluate and to quantify the magnitude of the genotype environment interaction effects on mung bean grain yield and to determine the winning genotype for the test environments. seven mung bean genotypes were tested at three locations for over two years. the grain yield data for each environment (location year combination) was first subjected to analysis of ...

pasting is one of the most important properties of wheat starch determining the flour quality and functionality. twenty three new plant type (npt) wheat derivatives along with three checks (pbw 343, hd 2329, and raj 3765) have been studied in multi-location trials to assess the variation and environment induced fluctuations for their starch pasting properties. although all flour pasting charact...

four halotolerant fungal isolates originating from the saltwater lake urmia in iran were selected during a screening program for salt resistance and α-amylase activity. the isolates were identified based on sequencing the its region and a part of the β-tubulin gene, as penicillium chrysogenum (isolate u1; cbs 132820), fusarium incarnatum (isolate u2; cbs 132821), and penicillium polonicum (isol...
