In order to estimate narrow-sense heritability and heterosis for phenological traits, plant height, seed yield and oil yield, F2 progenies of half diallel crosses from six varieties including RAS-3/99, RW008911, 19H, RGS003, Option500 and PF7045/91 along with their parents were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Diallel analysis revealed significant mean squar...

Water stress is one of the most important factors limiting the growth and yield of plants in many parts of the world. In order to evaluate the effects of water stress on some morphological, physiological and antioxidant enzyme activity traits of lentil, four lentil cultivars (i.e. Gachsaran, Kimia, Ziba and Robat) in four water deficit treatments including 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of the field ca...
