In 2007 and 2008, the influence of pollen source on the shell and kernel traits of resulting seeds and on fruit set was examined to evaluate the potential for Xenia or Metaxenia in Persian walnut. Pistillate flowers of ‘Jamal’, ‘Chandler’, ‘Hartley’ and ‘Pedro’ were crossed with the pollen of ‘Serr’, ‘Z60’ and ‘Damavand’. The pistillate flowers on each female parent were covered about one week...

to evaluate the morphological diversity of some almond cultivars and genotypes, an experiment was carried out on 55 iranian and foreign genotypes. twenty-nine quantitative and qualitative characteristics of nuts and kernels as well as 4 phenotypic characteristics of almond trees were evaluated. analysis of variance and means comparisons indicated that all the characteristics of the examined cul...

Purpose and Objectives. Our purpose was to study the inheritance of spike productivity elements by F1 hybrids from tester crosses winter bread wheat varieties different geographical origins.
 Materials Methods. Twenty hybrid combinations were studied. Field studies conducted in 2017–2019. The experiments laid out accordance with requirements breeding field experiments. their parents sown a...

An experiment was conducted at Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Rampur, Nepal during July 2011 to September 2011 with an objectine to determine phenotypic variability of Nepalese finger millet landraces using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis and principal component analysis. FValue of REML procedure of mixed model analysis revealed that highly significant variation wa...

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...

a randomized complete block design with four replications and a split plot arrangement was conducted in 2010, in order to study the effect of limited irrigation on yield and yield component of sweet corn. water levels were (100%, 80%, and 60% replacement of plant water requirement) which served as main plots. subplot was a factorial arrangement of three different sweet corn varieties (merit, ob...

Genomic regions responsible for accumulation of grain iron concentration (Fe), grain zinc concentration (Zn), grain protein content (PC) and thousand kernel weight (TKW) were investigated in 286 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between an old Indian wheat variety WH542 and a synthetic derivative (Triticum dicoccon PI94624/Aegilops squarrosa [409]//BCN). RILs were grown in si...
