Abstract
Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is one of the important and commercial small fruits that are planted in temperate regions which contain high amount of natural antioxidants. Study of genetic diversity is very important for distinguish the genotypes relationships and evaluation and exploitation of genetic resources for breeding programs. To evaluate the physiological and phenological characteristics of strawberries genotypes, an experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the Agricultural Research Center of Kurdistan, Iran. Physiological parameters (amount of chlorophyll a, b and ab, soluble solids, titratable acidity and anthocyanin) and phenological characters (appearance of first stolon, first flower and first fruit, flowering and fruiting period) and yield of genotypes were evaluated. Results of analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits at the 1% level of probability, indicating the existence of genetic diversity among genotypes. The results of mean comparison showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits, indicating existence of wide diversity among the studied strawberry genotypes. The highest chlorophyll content belonged to Paros genotype and the highest yield recorded from Queen Eliza and Gaviota genotypes, respectively. The highest anthocyanin and soluble solids content was belonged to Gaviota and lowest amount of these parameters belonged to Paros and Chandler genotypes and Chandler genotype also had the highest amount of chlorophyll a. There were little difference between phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation, indicating the low effect of environment on these characters. All traits had high common heritability with range of 82-99 %. Data were analyzed using principal factor analysis. The factor analysis technique extracted four factors. Four factors explained about 74.05% of the total variation, and 50.84% of the variance was accounted for by the two first factors. Factors I and II were identified as photosynthetic, and fertility Index, respectively. According to results of factor analysis and other analysis, Paros genotype was identified as suitable cultivar.

Abstract
The diallel mating design is an important tool used by plant breeding programs to obtain information on trait inheritance. Knowledge of gene action, heritability and genetic advance from selection is a prerequisite for starting a breeding program for developing varieties of maize. Five maize S7 lines and their F2 progenies were studied in a 5 × 5 half-diallel crossing design to evaluate the gene action and the heritability of biochemical and physiological traits. Parents and their F2 hybrids were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the Research Farm of Graduate University of Advanced Technology (Kerman, Iran) in 2017 cropping year, and chlorophyll (Chl), proline, protein, carotenoid and reducing sugars traits were evaluated. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for the studied traits at 1% probability level. The graphical results of Hayman's analysis showed the role of over-dominance genes effects in controlling proline content, sugars content, Chl a, Chl b, total Chl and carotenoids traits whiles the protein content trait was controlled by the incomplete dominance of genes. The narrow-sense heritability for carotenoid and proline content traits were 0.14, for protein content was 0.44 and for other traits were varaied in this range. The results of this study showed that the use of heterozygosity and the production of hybrid varieties can be used to breeding traits such as proline content, sugars content, Chl a, Chl b, total Chl and carotenoids. However, for breeding of protein content, use of both methods (selection and production of hybrid) are proposed.

Abstract
Nutrient deficiencies are important abiotic stresses that can affect plant growth and development. In this study, 76 sunflower pour lines collected from different regions of the world were evaluated in pot using some physiological traits with combined analysis of completely randomized design with three replications under optimal and phosphorus deficit conditions. Phosphorus deficiency decreased the means of all studied traits except canopy temperature. Oilseed sunflower lines were grouped into five and four clusters in each one of optimum and phosphorus deficient conditions, respectively. However, in both optimum and phosphorus deficient conditions, lines 19, 21, 27, 44 and 71 were classified into desirable cluster with high yield and yield components. Multivariate tolerance index (MFVD) for each genotype was calculated using the ratio and productivity matrices of the studied traits under optimal and phosphorus deficit conditions using principal component analysis on the resulting matrices. Based on the resulting biplot, lines 71, 74, 65, 21, 39, 7, 18 and 11 were introduced as desirable and phosphorus deficit tolerant lines.
