Objective: considering the importance of early maturityin canola, this research was carried out in order to identify important agronomic traits related to seed yield and to early with high-yielding cultivars in Brassica genus.
Methods: The genetic materials examined in this research included 100 genotypes of six species of Brassica genus (B. napus, B. juncea, B. nigra, B. rapa, B. carinata and B. oleracea) were planted in two repetitions in the form of a lattice square design in the research fields of University of Agricultural Sciences and Resources Natural Sari.
Results: The results of variance analysis showed that the studied genotypes have very significant differences with each other in terms of all agricultural traits. The results of mean comparison showed that genotypes from B. napus species has the highest yield and genotypes from B. rapa species has the shortest days to ripening with the lowest yield. The analysis of genetic correlations for all species revealed that yield of seed had a significant positive correlation with days to ripening, silique number per plant, thousand grian weight and grian number in silique. Results of stepwise regression analysis revealed that silique number per plant, 1000-grain weight, number of silique per plant and days to maturity had significantly effects on grain yield.The result of factor analysis showed three independent factors that explained 92% of the total variability, which were named ‘productivity’, ‘phenology’, and ‘thousand grian weight’, respectively.
Conclusion: According to all three factors,B. napus, best species and Janetzika,Liragold,Hayola 401andHayola 308 from B. napus species, were identified as the best cultivars concerning seed yield and early maturity.

In order to investigate the effect of barley cultivars on the yield and yield components of grain under rain-fed conditions a factorial experiment has been carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replications at Gonbad-e Kavous University Research Field during 2016 – 2017 and 2017 – 2018 growing seasons. Density treatments of 200, 300, 400, and 500 grain per square meter have been considered as the first, and four barley cultivars, namely Fardan, Khorram, Mahoor, and Sahra, have been taken as the second factors. In case of the number of grains per spike and the number of spikes per square meter, Sahra cultivar in minimum density and Mahoor cultivar in maximum density have proven to be the best cultivars, respectively. The highest thousand grain weight belongs to Fardan cultivar. Maximum grain yield in first and second year of the experiment have been obtained from Mahoor cultivars with 300 grains in meter square and Khorram with 200 grains in meter square, respectively. Higher yield in the second year than the first one seems to be due to higher rainfall and more appropriate distribution, especially in the reproductive stage and grain filling period. In both years, a negative and strong correlation is observed between the number of spikes per square meter and the number of grains per spike (r=-0.67 and r=-0.83 in the first and second year, respectively); but this correlation has been positive with grain yield. The highest positive and significant correlation belongs to the one between grain yield, harvest index, and biological yield. According to the results, an increase in grain yield is due to the increase in both harvest index and biological yield. Finally, optimum density for maximum grain yield has been 200 grain in meter square for Fardan, Khorram, and Sahra; and 300 for Mahoor.

The remobilization of carbohydrates in shoots is one of the effective factors to grain filling in rice. To determine the contribution of dry matter remobilization of shoots in different rice genotypes, a research has been carried out with seven rice genotypes and two controls in RCBD design with three replications during 2017-2018 at rice research station of Shahid Shiroodi in Tonekabon county. Results show that among all genotypes, rate of dry matter remobilization via the flag leaf, stem, and total shoot has differed significantly at (p<0.01) percent and from other leaves at (p<0.05) percent level. Mean comparison among the genotypes indicates that the highest dry matter remobilization from flag leaf belongs to Genotype 952 with 56 g.m-2. The maximum carbohydrates remobilization in other leaves, stem and total shoots are assigned to Genotype 953 at 123, 230, and 398 g.m-2, respectively. Highest grain yield belongs to Genotype 952 with 7206 kg.ha-1. Correlation analysis results show that grain yield is positively and significantly correlated with dry matter remobilization from flag leaf, stem, and total shoots, as well as 1000-grain weight, having coefficients of 0.37, 0.55, 0.51, and 0.44, respectively. As a result of yield and dry matter remobilization rate, and the positive and significant correlation between them, both Genotypes 952 and 953 are suitable for continuing research activity and introduce a new rice cultivar especially in drought and hot stress conditions at the grain filling stage.

Arizona Cypress (Cupressus arizonica L.) and Thuja (Thuja orientalis L.) are very important evergreen and mainly used as ornamental trees. This study was carried out in two independent experiments with the main purpose of evaluating of freezing tolerance of Arizona Cypress and Thuja with eight levels of temperatures (control, -10, -15, -20, -25, -30, -35, -40℃) in a completely randomized design. Proline, Electrolyte leakages, Soluble carbohydrate and Re-growth were measured. Result showed that, in both species Proline and Electrolyte leakages increased. Re-growth percentage decreased dramaticaly in both species with lowering temperature level. so that any Re-growth was observed for Thuja and Arizona Cypress in the -30 and -20℃, respectively. Interactions between Soluble carbohydrate and temperature were not significant for Thuja but decreased significantly (P>0.01) in Arizona Cypress. There was a negative significant correlation between Re-growth, in Thuja (-0.895ôô) and Arizona Cypress (-0.646ôô) with temperature. According to the results, Arizona Cypress was more susceptible to freezing compared to Thuja.

Information about the temperature requirements in fruit trees has an important effect on productivity and determining suitable regions for their growing. This research was carried out using single node cuttings test in a randomized complete block design with three replications in Citrus and Subtropical Research Center in 2015-16. This study was conducted to determine the chilling requirements of Hayward and Tomuri cultivars and male and female golden genotypes using three chilling models (Chilling hours, Utah, Dynamic) and their heat requirements using growth degree hours (GHD) method. Results showed that the chilling requirements of female and male golden genotype buds were 480 and 585 chilling hours, respectively, and for Hayward and Tomuri cultivars were 692 chilling hours. The amount of buds heat requirements in the cultivar and genotype ranged from 2233 GHD in female golden genotype to 4066 GHD in Hayward cultivar. Hayward cultivar required 966 hours of chilling requirement for maximum flowering, meanwhile Tomuri, male and female golden genotype had a similar chilling for both vegetative bud break and flowering including 692, 585 and 480 hours, respectively. With continued sampling, heat requirements reduced and significant negative correlation was found between chilling and heat requirements for bud break. From low chilling requirements of male and female golden genotypes, we can deduce that climatic conditions may be not limiting factor in the leading of them in growing area. It is thought that Utah and dynamic models may be more suitable than hour model to evaluate of chilling requirements.

In order to assessment the relationship between traits affecting yield of garden cress, an experiment was conducted in lattice square design with three replications in Eyvanekey Jihad Farm in 2016. The ANOVA showed that the difference among accessions was significant for all traits. There was a significant phenotypic correlation between yield and most of the traits. The highest value of phenotypic correlation was obtained between leaf height and leaf width (0.92). The regression analysis showed that the highest effect on the yield was due to leaf height and numbers of seeds per silique of lateral branches and main axis, as these three traits were about 93% of total yield changes and leaf height was the first trait that entered to the model and explained 91% of the variation. The path analysis of phenotypic correlation showed that the leaf height had the greatest direct effects on the yield (6.81). Leaf length, in addition to the direct effect on yield, through the rest of the traits has a positive indirect impact. In factor analysis, three independent factors explained about 70% of the yield variation. The first factor consists of number of silique per plant, number of seeds per silique of lateral branches and main axis has named seed factors. The purpose of this study was detection of phenotype correlation between yield and yield components, estimation of direct and indirect effects of yield components on yield and its part in diversity justification.

In order to evaluation the pattern of assimilates distribution to seed under late season drought stress, 11 promising lines of winter wheat along with Orum, Zareh, Mihan, Zarrin and Pishgam cultivars were evaluated in two levels of irrigation (full irrigation and cutting irrigation from flowering to maturity) at the Agricultural Research Station of Miandoab during 2013-2015 growing seasons. Experiments were conducted in split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that water deficit stress significantly increased remobilization rate, contribution of remobilization and source restriction and decreased the amount of spike weight, peduncle weight, sink restriction by removing leaves other than flag leaf, sink restrictions by removing flag leaf, grain yield and harvest index, so that terminal water deficit stress increased remobilization by 45.45% and the total yield contribution of remobilization of 18.30% in normal conditions increased to 43.33% under stress conditions. Among the genotypes, ‘Zarrin’ and ‘Mihan’ under normal moisture conditions and ‘Mihan’ genotype under terminal drought stress conditions produced the highest grain yield. In this study under terminal drought stress conditions, there were significant positive correlations between grain yield with remobilization rate and contribution of remobilization. It can be concluded that the varieties and genotypes afforded adequate remobilization and contribution of remobilization in grain yield in both conditions are appropriate for cultivation in optimal conditions, as well as areas that are faced with terminal water deficit stress.

This research was conducted to study some vegetative and reproductive traits as well as qualitative andquantitative characteristics and their correlation in 80 almond genotypes. Qualitative traits were studiedaccording to gulcan descriptor. Quantitative traits were analyzed as completely randomized design(CRD), with 12 replications. The results showed that genotypes had significant difference in fruit, nut,kernel weight and kernel to nut weight ratio. No169 genotype was very late blooming and had large sizeand moderate quality fruits. Fruit, nut and kernel weight in this genotype were 12.50, 4.75 and 1.28,respectively. Kernel of this genotype was sweet with low shriveling, which are important of consumeracceptance. The traits correlation showed that fruit, nut and kernel weight and size, had significantpositive correlation together. Also, kernel taste had significant negative correlation with pubescence,shriveling and color intensity of kernel. Results of cluster analysis showed that, in Euclidean distance of25, all genotypes were divided into two main branches. With decrease in the Euclidean distance from 25to 5, the genotypes were divided into eight main subclusters. Cluster analysis revealed that the traits oftree high and growth vigor, fruit, nut and kernel size and shell sofftness and hardness were the maincharacteristics separating the genotypes.

In this research the effects of mycorrhizal symbiosis and irrigation intervals on growth indices and grain yield of two sorghum cultivars was studied. Field experiment was laid out as a split plot factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Irrigation intervals as main factor in three levels (7, 14 and 21days) and factorial combination of two sorghum cultivars (Kimia and Sepideh) with three levels of seed inoculation (non inoculation, inoculation with Glomus intraradices and inoculation with Glomus mossea) were considered as sub-plots. Results showed that maximum values of leaf area index (4.21), crop growth rate (50.8 g m-2 day-1) and total dry matter (1852.5 g m-2) without significance difference with 14 days irrigation interval, were achievedat 7 days irrigation interval. In comparison with non inoculation treatment, Glomus mossea increased leaf area index, crop growth rate and total dry matter up to 17.4, 11 and 8.6 percent, respectively. Also, growth indices of Kimia cultivar were superior to Sepideh cultivar. Without significant difference with plants inoculated with Glomus mossea and 14 days irrigation interval, maximum grain yield was achieved at plants inoculated with Glomus mossea and 7 days irrigation interval which in comparison with treatment of non-inoculation and 21days irrigation interval, increased grain yield of sorghum by 56.47 percent. In general, results indicated that mycorrhizal fungi especially Glomus mossea improved plant growth indices and yield of sorghum under deficit irrigation (14 days irrigation interval).

This study was carried out to investigate flower yield and yield components in Iranian Rosa damascena using 20 genotypes, collected from different regions of Iran and grown in Drylands and Deserts Research Station of Kashan, Iran, using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2007-2008. Flower yield per plant, number of flowers per plant, plant height, leaf length, width, length and width of bud, length and width of pedicle, fresh weight of flower, number of petal per flower, length and width of receptacle, plant growth date, budding date, time of flowering and flowering period were recorded. A significant phenotypic correlation indicated a strong positive relationship between flower yield and number of flowers per plant. Result of stepwise regression analysis showed that 94 percent of total variation of flowers yield per plant could be explained by number of flowers per plant and weight of the fresh flower. The path analysis indicated that the number of flower per plant had the most direct effect on the yield. This suggested that number of flowers per plant and weight of the fresh flowers are the most important components determining flower yield per plant in Damask rose.

To study the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of some important agronomic traits associated with yield in white beans, 30 genotypes of white bean were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with four replications in two environments under water stress and non stress conditions. Analysis of variance for most of the traits showed significant differences among genotypes, indicating the existence of genetic variation among varieties. Most traits were affected by the stress. The results indicated that grain yield, weight of pod, biological yield, number of grain per plant and number of pod per plant in white bean reduced under water stress condition whereas, evaluation of drought resistance in bean genotypes, showed that stress tolerance index (STI) and mean productivity (MP) and geometric mean productivity (GMP) were the best criteria for recognizing tolerant genotypes (21 and 30). Under both condition weight of pod was highly correlated with the grain yield. Factor analysis was performed for genotypes both under water stress and non stress conditions and under both conditions three common factor have been extracted, which described most of traits variations. Stepwise regression analysis showed that in water stress conditions, pod weight, harvest index, 100 grain weight and number of grain per plant and in non stress conditions pod weight, harvest index and biological yield have the highest effect on grain yield. Result of path analysis showed that the highest direct positive effect was related to weight of pod under both condition. In classification of genotypes based on phenotypic characteristics, using cluster analysis (UPGMA), all genotypes classification into three separate groups under non stress and stress condition.
