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 ...

This study was carried out during the period from 2004/05 to 2006/07 growing seasons, at Faculty of Agriculture, Sohag University, Egypt to estimate observed and expected response to selection and other genetic parameters and calculate drought susceptibility index. Results revealed highly significant differences between F3 and F4 families under normal and drought conditions for days to heading, spike length, no. ... Read more
