Drought is one of the major factors limiting crop production worldwide. Dry areas are a much
less homogeneous population of target environments than areas with high and reliable …

Several yield-based drought tolerance indices are in use, but their efficiencies are not well
documented in plant breeding programs. I therefore examined the repeatability, similarity …

Plant breeding has been successful in developing drought resistant crop cultivars. However
the traditional breeding method by using yield as a selection index and performing multi …

Inheritance, heterosis and combining ability of deeper root length (DRL) and grain yield (GY)
were investigated in durum wheat populations obtained from half‐diallel crossings among …

Identifying barley genomic regions influencing the response of yield and its components to
water deficits will aid in our understanding of the genetics of drought tolerance and the …

The topics covered in this chapter are seldom described in standard plant breeding books,
as they arise after the basic choices have been made concerning the breeding programme …

The experimental material comprised of 25 most diverse genotypes along with 2 checks
varieties were sown in randomized block design with four replications in both rainfed and …

El objetivo del presente estudio es determinar la heredabilidad de características a través
de parámetros fenotípicos, genéticos y ambientales relacionados a los componentes de …

Genotype× environment (G× E) interaction analysis was investigated on grain yield of 20
winter wheat genotypes grown in 24 environments in cold winter areas of Iran during 3 yr …

This chapter focuses on the knowledge and goals for selection of Third World farmers in
comparison with those of formal plant breeders. By Third World farmers (hereafter simply …
