One of the important problems of sesame cultivation is the usage of local varieties and new cultivars shortage. Tolerant to wilt disease and grain shattering, adaptability to warm and arid climate and high yield are the most important purposes of sesame breeding. Accordingly, the breeding program to select and release of the Halil cultivar, began by selection of single plants from sesame native populations from south of Kerman province. In 1999, the selective single plants were evaluated based on breeding purposes and among them 54 single plant (lines) were selected. The selected lines were evaluated and purified during 2000 and 2001 years. The results showed that 21 lines had significant difference with controls (Darab14 and local variety), which these lines were selected for final yield trials. The final yield trials conducted during 2002 and 2003 and the results revealed that JL16, JL2, JL13 and JL1 lines were superior than control (Darab14) by producing 1771, 1729, 1534 and 1466 kg/ha, respectively. Then, in comparison of different genotype yield in drought and non- drought stress in Jiroft, Dezful and Karaj regions during two years, the JL13 line had significant difference in non- drought stress condition compared to other studied genotypes such as Darab14. In assessing the relative resistance of sesame genotypes to Fusarium wilt disease in terms of micro-plots with artificially infected and naturally infected farm, the JL13 line was identified as tolerant genotypes. Finally, JL13 line as the top line was selected for the on-farm trial. JL13 line in the on-farm trial by 1520 kg/ha yield, showed a 24% increase in yield, compared to the local variety. The JL13 line released and approved under the name of "Halil" in 2014. Halil variety recommended for warm and dry regions of south of the country, Iran.

A field experiment was carried out to compare the yield and agronomical characteristics of new potato genotypes in autumn planting in Khuzestan province. This research was conducted in randomized complete block design including seven genotypes: four potato clones and three cultivars (Savalan, Khavaran and Sante) with three replications in farm of Behbahan and Ramhormoz regions for one year (2014-15). Planting date was early October. One week before harvesting haulms was defoliated. Tubers were harvested at late February. The differences of stem number per plant, mean tuber weight and total yield was not significant between two regions. The effect of genotype on duration period between planting date and seedling 50% and 90% emergence was not significant. The marketable yield of Behbahan region (26.89 t. ha-1) was signifacantly higher than Ramhormaz region (22.53 t. ha-1) at 5% probability level. 397009-8 clone produced the highest mean stem number per plant (3.83 numbers) and mean tuber number per plant (9 numbers). The maximum total yield (32 t. ha-1), marketable yield (30.17 t. ha-1) and mean tuber weight (86.94 gr) belong to Khavaran cultivar. The highest tuber dry matter percentage (22.59%) was recorded for 396151-15 clone. According to results, planting of Khavaran cultivar and 397009-8 clone were recommended for autumn potato planting in Khouzestan province.

Khatooni melon is one of the most important cultivars in Khorasan Razavi province that is the largest area under cultivation of melons. Non-uniformity and variability due to high cross pollination (85% to 95%) and planting for many years and the distribution of traits in a population, lowered the yield in this population. In order to improve traits in populations, a plan to row method was used as selection breeding program. In the first year (1999) with fruit ripening, ten percent of desirable plants were selected in each plot. Selection characteristics were, plant health and fruit, number of suitable fruits per plant, desirable average fruit weight, shape and color of fruit and sweet fruit. Selected fruits and seeds were scrod separately. During second year, (2000), half of the selected seed were stored and the other half was planted in 20 meters rows for comparison of plants. After selecting superior scored plans at the end of the second year, seeds were taken out of stock and mixed for cultivation during following year. In the third year (2001) seeds were planted and were selected based on desired traits similar to the first year. In the fourth year (2002) like second year, seed were planted in the rows and chosen seeds were mixed in the warehouse. At the end of the fifth year (2003) for comparing the populations modified t-test was used. In this experiment the used method improved characteristics, such as average fruit weight (66/46%), the number of fruits per plant (45.45 percent), sugar content (33/8%) and yield (60%). Purified melon population was comprised to the initial population in one experiment during 2007 to 2011. Research-extension experiments during 2012 showed that the advanced population by producing about 45/27 ton ha-1 was superior to native population which produced about and 14/20 ton ha-1 yield.

Spring sowing and landraces cultivation are the most important and effective factors in low chickpea yield. In order to comparing of yield and its components of two chickpea genotypes (ILC 482 and Saral) at two sowing dates (autumn and hidden planting), this study was carried out under farmer fields at East Azerbaijan (Aghja kohool region) during 2012-2014 cropping seasons. Experimental design was split plots based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Sowing dates (autumn and hidden planting) were in the main plots and chickpea genotypes were in the sub plots. Agronomic traits including plant height, 100 seed weight, dry biomass, the height of first pod from soil surface, number of pods and seeds per plant, number of secondary branches per plant and grain yield, were recorded and analyzed. Results of combined analysis (two years) showed that, planting date had significantly effects on plant height. Comparing with hidden planting, plant height was 12% increased in autumn planting date. Although there was no significantly differences between planting dates in case of grain yield, but autumn planting had 24% more grain yield comparing to the hidden planting date. Genotype and genotype×planting date effects on grain yield had not significantly effects, indicated that there were similar potential of two genotypes for autumn and hidden planting in the region.

Plants growth and development is depends on light energy of the sun. This energy thru photosynthesis is using for production of carbohydrates and other photo-assimilates. Part of produced carbohydrates is consuming by the same tissues for growth and development, while excess materials are trans -locates to other consumer or storage organs. Accordingly, plants parts are classified in source and sink organs. In order to improve crop yield by using relevant knowledge, this detailed review aimed to provide valuable information about biochemical and molecular mechanisms of production and consumption of photo-assimilates in different plant organs for breeding proposes. Source and sink strength like many other biological processes, are related to plant genetic potential, rate and type of plant response to environmental condition, efficiency of biochemical mechanisms and ability of involved enzymes in production and transporting photo-assimilates. This paper is intended to evaluate the recent advances in source and sink specifications, particularly in wheat. It has been attempted to identify indigenous attributes related to source and sink strength, determination of soluble carbohydrate production circumstances along with activity of involved key enzymes at different tissues, which might be suitable for increased plant performance, particularly in stressful environments like drought stress
