Studies were conducted in early 2003 to determine the effect of root source and length on yield of adventitious shoots and plant yield from root cuttings of Arkansas-developed thornless blackberries. In the first study, roots from ‘Arapaho’ and ‘Apache’ plants grown in an aboveground bed containing commercial potting soil were compared to field-grown roots. Bed-grown roots averaged 6.9 shoots p...

to evaluate general and specific combining ability for resistance to bolting and cercospora leaf spot, 36 hybrids derived from crosses between 9 sugar beet lines along with four checks were planted in safiabad agricultural research center (dezful) in 2008-2009. the experimental design was a triple lattice design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among ...

A study was carried out in mungbean Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek) with eight ‘lines’ and four ‘testers’ crossed in a Line x Tester Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance were estimated for marketable and its component yield traits in 48 lines of carrot (Daucus carota var. sativa L.). The study showed high ranges for total yield (3.15 -7.56 kg/plot), marketable yield (2.60 – 6.85 kg...

in some regions of isfahan, although there is no soil and water salinity limitations, quality of sugar beet root is very low because of using high amount of irrigation water. a study was conducted to determine the relation between low irrigation and quality and quantity of sugar beet. in this study, a line source irrigation system for six water use treatments (from 10770 to 8554 m3/hec) was use...

understanding the relationship between root yield and other traits in sugar beet may be a crucial step towards successful breeding of this important crop. path analysis provides a useful method in analyzing the genetic and phenotypic coefficients of correlations. this method is able to effectively unveil direct and indirect effects among traits of interest. in this research, root yield, yield c...
