Safflower (Carthamus tinctoius L.) is an Iranian native crop that is adapted to different environmental conditions of this country. Sixteen safflower varieties/lines were spring-planted in 6 research stations including Sararood (Kermanshah), Maragheh, Ghamlo (Kordestan), Khodabandeh (Zanjan), Shirvan (North Khorasan)and Khohdasht (Lorestan) with and without drought stress conditions each in a R...

Genotype by environment interaction is one of the complicated issues in plant breeding programs for development of high-yielding with yield stability genotypes. To evaluate seed yield and yield stability of oilseed rape in four southern and northern warm regions of Iran (Zabol, Gorgan, Haji Abad and Sari), nine open pollinated spring oilseed rape lines together with seven cultivars were evaluat...

  During the past years, safflower genotypes have been selected from local variety of Isfahan, named Kouseh. The response of these genotypes to planting date might be different. To determine this, performances of several genotypes selected from Kouseh plus Arak 2811 ) as check ( were studied at the Agricultural Research Station, Isfahan University of Technology in 2002-2004. The experiment was ...

     Drought is one of the major environmental limiting factors in the global agriculture. Exploiting of crop yield potential and increasing yield stability of them in drought and drought-prone regions can be guaranteed to feed the world’s growing population. For this purpose, in order to assess the late season drought tolerance genotypes and determining of tolerant them using stress tolerance ...
