Assessment of quantitative traits in bi-parental progenies provides a strategy to identify drought tolerant genotypes and stress-adaptive traits in wheat. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population with 167 lines produced from the SeriM82/Babax cross was subjected to normal irrigation and drought stress (at the heading stage) under field conditions. The study was done in Bajgah, Shiraz, Fars province,...
After drought, a major challenge to smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa is low-fertility soils with poor nitrogen (N)-supplying capacity. Many challenges in this region need to be overcome to create a viable fertilizer market. An intermediate solution is the development of maize varieties with an enhanced ability to take up or utilize N in severely depleted soils, and to more efficiently use...
Phenology is an important trait for the adaption of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to various target environments. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of flowering time on other phenological traits and yield-related traits. F2 and F3 segregating populations derived from the crosses of four early-flowering lines (ICCV 96029, ICC 5810, BGD 132 and ICC 16641) with a late-flowering cultivar...
Breeding companies release new high-yielding soybean genotypes every year. The main trait is grain yield (GY), and the performance need to be evaluated by statistical methods to identify superior genotypes. Biplot analysis are good tools for selecting superior genotypes and to increase efficiency in selection. This study aimed to: (a) identify genotypes with high GY and stability in edaphoclimatic...
Previous studies reported the inconsistent results on SPIKE, a quantitative trait locus, that controls the number of spikelets per panicle in rice. SPIKE increased grain yield under tropical conditions but did not increase it under temperate conditions. To reveal the effect of SPIKE on grain yield, we conducted an in-depth study of two varieties, IR64 and the near-isogenic line (NIL) for SPIKE in...
The population of this research included 167 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a Seri/Babax cross. In order to map and visualize the genetic architecture of the agricultural traits, an experiment was conducted in an alpha lattice under normal (2 ds m−1) and saline (12–14 ds m−1) conditions at the Research Farm of Agricultural and Natural Resource Station of Zabol, Iran for 2 years (2012–2013)...
Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) is a major public health problem in Sub-Saharan Africa affecting 33 million preschool-age children. Enrichment of maize varieties with provitamin A could provide sustainable and affordable solution to VAD. This study was conducted to understand the extent of GEI effects on both grain yield and provitamin A content in 21 maize synthetics and identify synthetics combining...
