Eight bread wheat genotypes and their F 1 hybrids were evaluated under drought stress induced by the treatment with Polyethylene Glycol-6000. The studied traits were shoot length (SHL), root length (ROL), number of lateral roots (NOR), fresh weight of seedling (FRW) and dry weight of seedling (DRW). Highly significant (P<0.01) differences were observed among studied genotypes for all seedling traits under drought stress conditions. Highly significant (P<0.01) mean squares due to GCA and SCA effects were observed for all seedling traits, indicating the importance of both additive and non-additive gene actions. Obviously, GCA mean squares were larger in magnitude than that of SCA, indicating the importance role of the additive gene action in the inheritance of the studied traits. Compared to their parents, F 1 hybrids produced longer roots under drought stress conditions, indicating the presence of heterosis. The regression analysis indicated a partial adequacy of an additive-dominance model for ROL, NOR, FRW and DRW, while non adequate model was observed for SHL. Based on GCA effects, the parental genotypes P 1 , P 2 and P 3 were the best general combiners for most studied traits under drought stress conditions. The highest desirable SCA effects were obtained from the crosses P 1 ×P 3 , P 1 ×P 6 , P 1 ×P 8 , P 2 ×P 5 and P 2 ×P 7 for most studied traits, indicating their usefulness as best promising combinations under drought stress conditions.","PeriodicalId":115841,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135646499","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Samani and Magdool showed the highest values for both fruit dimensions and weight characteristics. All 5 tested RAPD primers were able to differentiate among the tested date palm cultivars and showed high polymorphism percentage ranging from 75-100%. Thirteen different specific positive and negative markers associated with some cultivars were obtained. The genetic similarity among cultivars ranged from 40% to 100% and the highest genetic similarity value was observed between Nawashf Red and Nawashf White. The results showed that the cultivars with the same name from different geographical locations are genetically different and showed significant differences in fruit physical characteristics.","PeriodicalId":115841,"journal":{"name":"Assiut Journal of Agricultural Sciences","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135646498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results indicated that the addition of corn milk by different ratios as a mixture with goat milk during the processing added value to the produced labneh until 30 % as substituting percent with goat's milk through increased nutrient content such as fat and ash content. Also, all produced labneh and control treatments were free from coliform bacteria, molds and yeasts.
