The narrow genetic variation of bread wheat is one of the limitations to improve it for drought-tolerance. The research carried out to study the responses of different genotypes and traits to imposed moisture stress. The plant material comprised of 10 Aegilops tauschii accessions as well as a tolerant (BW2) and a susceptible (BW1) bread wheat cultivar. To assess the root and shoot-traits, two s...

this study was aimed to assess the effects of excess boron on 59 genetically divergent wheat accessions and to identify those with high and stable yields under a range of soil boron concentrations. the second aim was to test the applicability of a laboratory technique performed at juvenile stages of development in estimating field boron tolerance. the study comprised a control and three boron t...

to estimate the optimum and effective amount of nitrogen fertilizer for quantity and quality improvement of three new durum wheat lines, this research was conducted in gachsaran dry-land agricultural research station for a duration of 4 years (2003-2007). the study was performed as a factorial expriment, using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. two factors of: 4 nitrogen ra...

water logging stress is one of the most important factors which affect wheat production particularly in western regions of golestan province. this experiment was carried out in order to evaluate of six genotypes (n-81-18, arta, moghan, n-80-19, urwyt-82-11 and urwyt-82-17) of bread wheat in water logging condition at 2006-2007 growing season in gorgan agricultural research station. the experime...

terminal heat stress is the most widespread heat stress in the world. in order to evaluate the effect of heat stress on yield, yield component, and mopho-phenological traits of barley, 10 barley genotypes including the 2-row genotypes: mahour, khoram, nimrooz, abidar and 6-row genotypes: yousef, rihan 03, izeh, zahak, nosrat, jonoub were tested under normal (optimum sowing date) and heat stress...

a partial set of diallel crosses conducted among seven bread wheat genotypes contain (gasspard,m86-4,m86-6,dn-11,ws82-9 and m86-12) along with 21 hybrid, based on randomized complete block design(rcbd) with three replication were evaluated. the experiment was accomplished in a research field of agriculture and natural research center of tehran province in 2012-2013 in order to study genetic ana...

Genetic improvements have significantly contributed to wheat production. Five wheat cultivars-widely grown in north China in the 1950s, 1990s, or 2010s-were grown in field experiments conducted in the 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 growing seasons. This study evaluated the genetic progress in wheat grain yield and its related traits in north China and explored how breeding and selection have influence...
