Results showed that microwave power and time required for preventing germination varied considerably among the species studied. Microwave power 80% for 15 minutes prevented completely germination percentage of wild oats and darnel and reduced germination percentage of field bindweed to 10%. The microwave power 50%, 15 minutes was enough to prevent seeds germination completely and weaken dooder quarantine. In regard to Giant ragweed and white bursage, under all microwave power treatments, there were no germination of these weeds. Microwave powers 50% for 10 minutes and 80% for 15 minutes had no effect on the oil percentage extracted from soybean seeds and protein content of wheat grains, respectively.

Guar gum is important product which is obtained from guar seed and has worldwide uses in different industries. Therefore, there is a dire need of evolution of new high yielding, short duration and early maturing varieties of guar. Keeping in view the above facts, Agricultural Research Station, Bahawalpur is conducting research to develop new varieties. The present newly developed variety BR-21 (strain name S-5823) is high yielding, short duration, non-hairy with a wider range of adaptability. Yield data (grain yield) were collected from the guar varietal performance trials conducted over eight consecutive years (2011-2020). This strain performed better when evaluated/tested in 7 different yield performance trails including commercial variety as a check from year 2013-2018. The BR-21 also performed excellent in the agronomic trials (Sowing date, fertilizer requirement, row spacing, and irrigation levels) compared to check variety in different years of study. Finally, it is concluded that BR-21 is a non-hairy and very easy to harvest than previous guar varieties. It contains high gum contents (34.9%) than check variety. It is high yielder, early maturing and requires very low inputs. It is comparatively resistant to insect pests and diseases. It is short duration variety, therefore, wheat, raya, chickpea and other Rabi crops can be sown well in time.","PeriodicalId":42226,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Agronomy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49240001","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}

Significant differences among genotypes were obtained under non-drought and drought-stress conditions for all seedling and maturity characteristics. Highly positive and significant correlations were found for root length with respect to fresh weight of 0.74 and dry weight seedling of 0.80. However, negative and highly significant correlations were found for both drought susceptible index based on seedling traits (DSIST) and maturity traits (DSIST) with all seedling traits except root: shoot ratio, whereas no correlations were obtained for either DSIST or DSIMT with all maturity traits except 1000 kernel weight. Positive and highly significant correlation found between DSIST and DSIMT (0.85). SSR markers analysis showed that three bands produced by Xgwm596-7A (507 bp), Xgwm497-1A (556 bp) and Xgwm174-5D (409 bp), they were presented in all tolerant genotypes based on DSIST. The three bands (507, 556 and 409 bp) were correlated to DSIST, with R2 values of 81.05%, whereas the three bands were correlated to DSIMT with R2 values of 61.96%. Strong association was observed for genotypic distance with phenotypic distance based on seedling characteristics, that amounted to 0.66, whereas the correlation was less strong between genotypic distance and phenotypic distance based on maturity traits by 0.30. The seedling traits at 15% PEG were more association than maturity traits under drought-stress with SSR markers, this gives preference to using seedling traits as an indicator of drought-stress tolerance in breeding programs.","PeriodicalId":42226,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Agronomy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47316731","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}
