Generation mean analysis (GMA) was used to study the type of gene action and inheritance of grain yield and its components. Generation mean analysis with joint scaling test was performed. This research was conducted at research farm of college of Agriculture at the University of Tehran. The parents and their progenies ( F1, F2, BC1 & BC2) in three mating groups ( Sardari × 7007, Sardari × 7107...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Wild relatives of wheat are one of the most important genetic resources for use in wheat breeding programs. Therefore, identifying wheat wild relatives and Awareness of the diversity in them, also protecting these species is undeniably effective in expanding the richness of the gene pool and the genetic base of new cultivars and can be a good tool ...

Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Wheat is one of the most important crops in the world that plays a key role in ensuring food security. In wheat breeding programs, selection of genotypes with desirable agronomic traits and high yield potential have always been the goal of plant breeders. Increasing the selection efficiency for grain yield depends on genetic knowledge from morpholo...

The present research was performed for studying morphological variation and investigating the presence of relationship between molecular markers related tillering in some genotypes of bread wheat under the field farm and laboratory conditions. In the field experiment, three seed densities including 150, 300 and 450 seed per square meter as the main plot factor and also 10 genotypes including th...

To investigate the effect of different planting dates (November 1-2018, December 1-2018 and December 31-2018) as the main factor, different salinity levels of the irrigation water (2, 7 and 12 dS/m) as the sub-plots factor and different irrigation regimes (including irrigation at 5 critical stages of the growth period, 2 stages of germination and flowering and 0 irrigation) as the sub-sub-plots...

Identification of easily measured physiological traits contributing to yield under specified environmental conditions would benefit genotypic selection for grain sorghum. A field experiment was conducted to determine broad-sense heritability and expected genetic advance, and to examine the relationships of grain yield with 11 physiological traits related to developmental periods, vegetative gro...
