Master's Thesis at University of Basra Examines Genetic Response of Wheat
A master's thesis at the College of Agriculture at the University of Basra explored the response of soft wheat genotypes to kinetin spraying under Basra's conditions.
Researcher Fatima Abdul Abbas Hussein aimed to understand the effects of both nano and conventional kinetin on the growth traits and yield of wheat across different cultivars.
The thesis involved conducting a field experiment at the Agricultural Research Station of the College of Agriculture during the winter season. The results demonstrated the superiority of the Bahroth 10 variety in most studied traits, while the Axad 59 variety showed the highest average number of days from 50% heading to full maturity, tiller count, and leaf cytokinin content. The Bahroth 22 variety excelled in the number of days from planting to 50% heading. Additionally, a concentration of 60 mg/L outperformed in most traits, recording the highest grain yield and protein percentage.
