objective: wheat is the most important crop in iran. self sufficiency in wheat production is one of the economic and food safety policies in the country. in spite of the efforts which have been made in this area, the mean of wheat yield in iran is less than its world average. methods: in order to identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the trai...

drought stress is considered as the most important environmental abiotic stress, affecting grain yield of crop plants especially in arid and semi arid regions. increasing and utilization of the genetic diversity can be a useful strategy in breeding for drought resistance. in this study, twenty iranian durum wheat landraces along with two check cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete b...

Dry seeds of seven winter wheat varieties and one line were exposed by gamma-rays and chemical mutagens to determine their effect on plant grows and development. Next parameters have been investigated – plant survival, pollen fertility, components of yield structure. Informative value by mutation depression evaluation of all parameters has been developed. The most informative parameters for mut...

Abstract Eleven wheat cultivars were evaluated at 10-day intervals, beginning from anthesis, under irrigated and drought stress conditions during 2006-2007. The effects of irrigation, genotype and date of harvest were significant for most of the studied characters. Water deficit decreased pre-and post-anthesis assimilation rate, grain weight per spike, grain number per spike and 1000 grain wei...

Abstract In order to study the inheritance of grain yield and its components in bread wheat, two cultivars, Karchyya(drought and salinity tolerant) and Gaspard (sensitive to drought and salinity stress) were crossed.Parents together with F1, F2, F3, BC1and BC2 generations were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008-2009 growing season.Grain weight per...

Manure not only supplies many nutrients for crop production, but it is also a valuable source for increasing soil organic matter content and improving soil structure. To increase organic manure content as well as improve the wheat production adding plant residues and livestock to soil is necessary. The experiment was conducted in Shavoor Research Station to determine seed yield and soil physica...
