This research was conducted to evaluate drought tolerance of safflower genotypes (Carthamus tinctorius L.) at the research farm of Isfahan University of Technology, Isfahan, Iran during growing season of 2012. One hundred genotypes including 81 foreign genotypes along with 19 Iranian genotypes were evaluated under normal and moisture stress conditions according to a simple lattice design with t...

Additive main effect and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) are two methods for analyzing multi-environment trials (MET). In this study, seven selected rice lines were evaluated along with two check varieties based on randomized complete block design in Tonekabon, Amol and Sari (Iran) in three growing seasons of 2011-14. To quantify the genotypic stabil...

Study of combining ability and heterosis were conducted on 12 F1 hybrids along with seven rice genotypes (three cytoplasmic male sterile lines and four restorer varieties) to know the pattern of inheritance of some morphological traits for selecting superior genotypes. The experiment was carried out according to line x tester mating design, in Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources Un...

Analysis of genotype by environment interaction using different statistical methods is very important in plant breeding. In order to evaluate the seed yield stability of promising sesame lines using different parametric and non-parametric statistics, an experiment was conducted using 13 promising sesame lines with check variety Oltan at three locations of Karaj, Mashhad, and Moghan (Iran) in a ...

In order to evaluate salt tolerance in seedling stage, seeds of 11 hybrid and new varieties of cotton, compared to commercial cultivars of Golestan as control were planted in pot. Factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with three replications was conducted at the Cotton Research Institute of Iran in 2014. The first factor was salinity levels and the second factor was 12 genotype...

This research was conducted to study the amount of self- incompatibility in 25 genotypes of Bromus inermis, under two water environments (non-stress and drought stress) in a completely randomized block design. For this purpose, half of the panicles of each genotype were bagged for obligate selfing and the others were allowed to open pollination. Results showed that under non-stress condition th...

In order to evaluate and grouping wheat genotypes based on grain yield and important agronomic traits under drought stress, a field experiment was conducted with 43 wheat genotypes using a Randomized Complete Block design in three replication at Azad University, khorramabad, Iran in 2012-2013 cropping season. Evaluated traits were: day to maturity, day to pollination, grain filling rate, grain ...
