to investigate the yield and agronomic traits of winter bread wheat genotypes in irrigating condition and also to determine the relationship of these traits with grain yield, 15 advanced genotypes of wheat along with three conventional cultivars where studied using randomized complete block design in three replications in 2010 growing season at kheyr-abad agricultural research station. the anal...

twenty five durum wheat lines were evaluated under drought stress and non-stress conditions employing randomized complete block design of 4 replications. significant differences were observed among the lines for most traits in either stress or non-stress conditions. correlation analysis under non-stress conditions indicated that grains per spike and number of spikes per m2 and while under stres...

Development of superior crop varieties is the prime objectives of all plant breeding programs. To determine genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance, 24 elite bread wheat lines were planted in randomized complete block design with three replications at the University of Agriculture, Peshawar under rainfed conditions. Data were recorded on days to heading, days to maturity, plant he...

BACKGROUND Grain yield is a key economic driver of successful wheat production. Due to its complex nature, little is known regarding its genetic control. The goal of this study was to identify important quantitative trait loci (QTL) directly and indirectly affecting grain yield using doubled haploid lines derived from a cross between Hanxuan 10 and Lumai 14. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Ten...

gladiolus (gladiolus grandiflorus l.) is one of the most widely cultivated, economically important and common flowering plants worldwide including pakistan. however, its yield of flower is quite low when grown under agro-climatic conditions of multan. a field experiment was conducted at the experimental area, department of horticulture, bahauddin zakariya university, multan (pakistan), during 2...

Genetic improvements have significantly contributed to wheat production. Five wheat cultivars-widely grown in north China in the 1950s, 1990s, or 2010s-were grown in field experiments conducted in the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 growing seasons. This study evaluated the genetic progress in wheat grain yield and its related traits in north China and explored how breeding and selection have influence...

soil salinity poses considerable and increasing problems for agriculture, and is receiving much attention from plant breeders. the identification of genes whose expression enables plants to adapt to and/or tolerate salt stress is essential for breeding programs, but little is known about the genetic mechanisms of traits in saline conditions. the data obtained from 75 families produced by crossi...

Sci., 22: 452–457 The investigation was conducted on the experimental fi eld of the Agricultural University of Plovdiv, during the period 2011–2014. Coeffi cients of heritability and selection, the number of genes, transgressions and heterosis...
