Totally, 86 sesame _(__Sesamum indicum_ L.) genotypes were used for the study of phenotypic and genotypic variability in summer seasons of 2015 and 2016.They were differed significantly values for all studied traits in both seasons. The genotypes mean ranged widely around the general mean in the studied traits. 67.4, 40.7, 46.5 and 48.8 % of the genotypes were raised than ... إقراء المزيد

Two field experiments were conducted in two successive seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 at the Research Farm Al-Kawthar, Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University, to determine the effect of two planting dates (15 November and10 December) and three nitrogen fertilizer levels (50, 75 and 100 kg N/fed.) on yield and its components of four bread wheat genotypes (Sids 12, Giza 168, ... إقراء المزيد

Five faba bean genotypes (Vicia faba L.) were selfed for two cycles to produce S1 and S2 generations. A half-diallel cross was carried out among them in each level of inbreeding (S0, S1 and S2) to obtain 10 F1 hybrids. Parental materials as well as their respective F1s were evaluated during the winter season of 2012. All studied traits except ... إقراء المزيد

Two greenhouse experiments were carried out at the Institute of Biological Production Systems, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 growing seasons to study the influence of the osmotic adjustment (OA) capacity, relative water content (RWC) and specific leaf area (SLA) on tolerance to drought in 22 breeding lines, two parents and tolerant cultivar (Sahel 1) of bread wheat ... إقراء المزيد

Field experiments were carried out at Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University, Egypt to estimate observed and expected response to selection and genetic parameters after two cycles of phenotypic selection in F2 population. Highly significant differences among F3 and F4 families under normal and drought stress conditions for no. of spikes/plant (NS), 100-Seed weight (SW), plant height (PH), days to heading ... إقراء المزيد

The shoot traits related drought tolerance is an important for understanding drought tolerance mechanisms of the whole plant. The current research was curried out to identify the QTLs associated with shoot traits related to drought tolerance in a structured barley population grown under well-watered and drought stress conditions during the summer seasons of 2007-08., Marker data collected from all accessions ... إقراء المزيد

The combine ANOVA analysis for grain yield of 10 wheat genotypes at 12 environments showed that bread wheat grain yields were significantly affected by E (environment), which explained 75.01% of the total treatment (G+E+GEI) variation, whereas the G (Genotype) and GEI were significant and accounted for 9.48 and 15.5% respectively. Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) analysis indicated that ... إقراء المزيد

Five Egyptian parental genotypes of Faba bean were used for carrying out half diallel design to study heterosis and nature of gene action for earliness, vegetative, yield and yield components traits. Mean squares of genotypes were found to be highly significant for all studied traits. The results showed that the majority of crosses exhibited significant heterosis estimates for better parent ... إقراء المزيد
