For sustainable rice production in Iran the optimum use of production resources and the reduction of production costs are the two important issues. In this situation, water availability is a major limiting factor in sustainable rice production. Hence, changing of rice production system from lowland irrigated to aerobic production system, which is based on dry-seed sowing in non-puddled and non-satuared soil, is main goal in the national research plan. Six selected aerobic rice genotypes from preliminary yield trials together with two local checks of rice including; Neda, as tolerant and Tarom, as susceptible cultivars to aerobic conditions were evaluated using randomized comlete block design with three replications in Mazandaran and Golestan, Iran, provinces for three years from 2013-2015. Simple analysis of variance for each location showed significant differences among rice genotypes for all traits. Combined analysis of variance for grain yield was performed. There were highly significant differences for main effect of genotype, year × location and year × location ×genotype interactions effect. Grain yield stability analysis through AMMI and GGE bioplot methods indicated that aerobic rice cv. Vandana with an average grain yield of 2760 kg.ha over all environments had high and grain yield with yield stability. This cultivar was also close to ideal rice genotype with lower plant height (98.8 cm) and phenology (97.0 days to 50% flowering), followed by the other two aerobic rice genotypes; G2 (IR78908-193-B-3-B) and G6 (IR80508-B-194-3-B) with high grain yield over all environments. Therefore, these aerobic rice genotpes were selected and could be used in the national rice breeding programs or recommended for being grown in aerobic rice production system in Mazandaran and Golestan province under water-shortage conditions.","PeriodicalId":297527,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Society of Crops and Plant Breeding Sciences","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132388600","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}

Assessment of genetic variability, heritability and association of plant attributes with lint yield and fiber quality in advanced lines of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Iranian Journal of Crop Sciences. 22(4): 350-364. (In Persian). Information on genetic variability and heritability of plant attributes and their correlation with lint yield and fiber quality is important for planning breeding and selection strategies for prediction of genetic gains in cotton breeding programs. For these purpose, a field experiment was carried out using randomized complete block design with four replications in 2016 and 2017 at Hashem-Abad cotton research station, Gorgan, Iran. Variability and heritability and genetic improvement for sixteen quantitative and qualitative traits were evaluated in 40 cotton genotypes including; 31 recombinant inbred lines (F7) and nine parental genotypes.in. The analyisis of variance as well as phenotypic, genotypic and environmental variances revealed high variation among cotton genotypes. Cotton genotpeswere grouped in three distinct classes using cluster analysis. In general, phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) estimates were higher than genotypic coefficients of variation (GCV) for all the studied attributes, implying the environment effect on the studied traits. The highest PCV and GCV were estimated for seed cotton yield, sympodial and monopodial branch numbers. High heritability and genetic improvement was observed in lint percentage (76.7% and 15.2%, respectively), boll number (72.6% and 23.5%, respectively), boll weight (67.9% and 19.7%, respectively) and sympodial number (56.8% and 79.3%, respectively), indicating the effect of additive gene action and favorable response of these traits to selection. Also, the above mentioned traits had significant positive correlation with seed cotton yield and reaffirmed to be the main cotton yield components. The results indicated that selection for boll number per plant, boll weight, lint percentage and sympodial branch number per plant are desirable selection indices for indirect selection for lint yield and fiber quality improvement of cotton at early generations.","PeriodicalId":297527,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Society of Crops and Plant Breeding Sciences","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129215369","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}

Iranian Journal of Crop Sciences. 22(4): 376-387. (In Persian). To study the adaptability and seed yield stability, in this experiment, ten quinoa genotypes including; Red Carina, Titicaca, Giza1, Q12, Q18, Q21, Q22, Q26, Q29, Q29 and Q31 were evaluated using randomized complete block design with three replications in 2017 and 2018 in four locations; Karaj, Shahr-e-Kord, Kashmar and Urmia for their adaptability and grain yield stability. The results showed that quinoa genotypes had significant differences for most of the studied traits. However, genotype × location × year interaction effects on plant height, inflorescence length and days to flowering was not significant. Q26 genotype had the highest grain yield (2007 kg.ha) in Shahr-e-Kord. The lowest yield (338.33 kg.ha) was related to Q21 genotype in Karaj. The results of AMMI stability analysis showed that Q29 genotype had the highedt grain yiled stability with the shortest distance from the center of the graph. Cv. Giza1, cv. Red Carina, Q31 and Q26 genotypes also ranked next in terms of grain yield stability. Also, Q12, Red Carina and Q22 genotypes had specific adaptation in Karaj and Kashmar, and Giza1 and Q18 genotypes showed high specific adaptation in Urmia. In general, the results of this experiment showed that all quinoa genotypes were compatible with spring cultivation in experimental sites.","PeriodicalId":297527,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Society of Crops and Plant Breeding Sciences","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131717115","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}

Selection of adapted genotypes with high seed yield and yield stability is the goal of soybean breeding programs. To evaluate the adaptability and seed yield stability of soybean promising lines, 19 promising lines and cv. Williams as check were evaluated using randomized complete block design with four replications in four locations: Karaj, Gorgan, Moghan and Khoramabad in Iran during two growing seasons (2013 and 2014). GGE biplot analysis was employed to evaluate the adaptability and seed yield stability. Combined analysis of variance showed thatyear, location, genotype, year × location, year × genotype, location × genotype and genotype × location × year interaction effects were significant on studied traits. The contribution of year, location and genotype variance to total variance was 0.01, 0.60 and 0.02, respectively, indicating considerable contribution of location variance. The first two components of PC1 and PC2 explained overall 58% of total observed variation of genotype and genotype × environment (G + GE). In this study, three mega-environments were identified. The first mega-environment included: E2 (Karaj 2014), E5 (Moghan 2013) and E8 (Gorgan 2014) and G16 was the superior genotype in this mega-environment. The second mega-environment included: E3 (Khorramabad 2013) and E4 (Khorramabad 2014) and G8 was the superior genotype in this mega-environment. Third megaenvironment consisted: E1 (Karaj 2013) and E7 (Gorgan 2013) and G17 was the superior genotype in this megaenvironment. Biplot analysis showed that genotypes: G17 (L85-3059) with 2702 kg.ha and G16 (L12/Chaleston × Mustang) with 2750 kg.ha were highly adapted genotypes with high seed yield and yield stability. The E7 environment (Gorgan, 2013) was the most desirable environment in respect to its discriminating ability among soybean genotypes and the best representative of the target environments.","PeriodicalId":297527,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Society of Crops and Plant Breeding Sciences","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126357469","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}

Participatory breeding, an approach for sustainable production of new rice cultivars in Iran. Iranian Journal of Crop Sciences. 22(2): 108-124. (In Persian). Over the past 50 years, thousands of rice varieties have been introduced by plant breeders to agricultural communities all over the world. Despite the improvement of attributes such as grain yield and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, a significant portion of farmers still prefer local varieties over the improved cultivars. The main reasons for this perference are the absence of a direct relationship between farmers and plant breeders, the lack of knowledge about the needs and preference of agricultural societies, the differences in crop growth conditions at agricultural research stations and marginal farmers' fields, and the different agroecological conditions among target agro-ecological regions. In addition, local varieties have high quality and stable grain yield under different conditions and over cropping seasons. Over the past two decades, the concept of participatory plant breeding (PPB) has been developed in collaboration with crop breeders, farmers, traders and consumers to improve the system of introducing new crop varieties. In this approach, there is a direct relationship between farmers/stakeholders and plant breeders. The released cultivars using participatory plant breeding programs, have higher grain yield and dyield stability, and increase farmers’ income. In addition, they enhance genetic diversity and accelrate the adoption process of new cultivars by farmers. Participatory breeding programs in close collaboration with farmers/stakehilders can be very useful, and may cahne the future of conventional breeding programs. Relaesing two new rice improved cultivars (Gilaneh in 2016 and Anam in 2019) with farmers participatory is an example of the rice breeding success story of participatory rice breeding","PeriodicalId":297527,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Society of Crops and Plant Breeding Sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115396019","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}
