Genetic diversity is the base of plant breeding. Hence, 33 M7 soybean mutant lines, which were evolved by γ ray from cultivar L17 irradiated with doses of 150, 200 and 250 Gray (absorbed dose), with L17 cultivar and two commercial cultivars (Clark and Williams) were evaluated in view of some morphological traits (number of leaves/plant, pods/plant, seeds/pod, seeds/plant, 100-seed weight, dry w...

     In order to recognize the soybean tolerant genotypes, a greenhouse as factorial experiment was conducted in form of randomized complete block design with three repetition in 2017 in Damavand. The first factor contained 15 soybean genotypes and second factor included two levels of normal irrigation and irrigation disruption in time of podding. The traits included plant height, reproductive ...

A field experiment was carried out during the 2013-2014 growing season in Lorestan Province (Iran) to evaluate the effect of three planting densities (30, 55, and 83 plant.m-2) on growth indices and grain yield of four chickpea cultivars (Azad, Hashem, Arman and ILC482) under the fall dry land farming condition. The experiment design was factorial based on a randomized complete block design (RC...

IExtended Abstract Introduction and Objective: The economic value of a genotype depends on its various traits and therefore the accurate knowledge of genetic behavior and identification of genomic locus involved in controlling these traits can help the breeder to improve genotypes. Material and Methods: In this study, the relationship between microsatellite markers with some important agrono...

Canola as an oil plant that is considered as an important plant among other oilseed plants due to its high seed performance as well as oil content. Genetic diversity is necessary for breeding program and increasing selection efficiency. This study was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity and heritability of yield and some morphological traits in spring rapeseed, at Dezful, Khozestan P...

In order to investigate the relationships between major agronomy traits and grain yield in rapeseed, two apetalous flowers (Hylite201) and petalled (Hyola401) rapeseed cultivars were planted in three plant densities and two planting patterns was carried out in a split plot-factorial design based on randomized complete block design with three replications at Rice Research Institute of Iran at Ra...
