New barley cultivar "Nader" was derived from a cross between cultivar Gorgan4 and Xmuse and a complementary back crossing to Gorgan4 in 1994 and 1995. This line has been evaluated and selected through segregating populations during 1996- 2001 and advanced, on-farm and demonstration field yield trials during 2002-09. The results of 8 years yield trials experiments indicated that the average yield of Nader, Sararood1 (check1) and Mahalli (check2), were 3240, 3072 and 2160, respectively. Also average of 1000 kernel weight of Nader was 43 grams, while Sararood1 and Mahalli were 39 and 41 grams, respectively. In 2007-08, Nader in demonstration fields in Dalahoo, Safirozabad and Ravansar regions yielded 25, 10 and 8 percents more than Sararood1, respectively, while the Mahalli was not harvestable. The main agronomic characteristics of this line are high yielding, cold tolerance, and more adaptability to moderate fertile soils, low susceptibility to date and deep planting, more tolerance to diseases such as smuts, scald and powdery mildew. Its plant height and grain size was more than Sararood1 and Mahalli cultivars. Based on its superiority and good performance compared to the check cultivars in Sararood Research Station and farmers' field, Nader cultivar was released in 2013 and recommended for cultivation at rainfed condition in moderate and cold regions of Kermanshah province.

Selecting and introducing of cold tolerant chickpea varieties with high yielding potential as well as suitable to autumn sowing has highly importance. Sel93TH24460 is hybrid of a cross, ILC 3470 × ILC 8617 which has done at International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA). This genotype has been sent to Iran in an International cold tolerance nursery in 1999 and evaluated in different trials including international, national, advanced and adaptability yield trials and disease screening as well as on-farm examinations at autumn planting of cold areas during 2000 to 2010. According to the results, Saral (Sel93TH24460) with mean yield of 1.4 tons/hectare had increased performance rather than to the check varieties, Jam, Arman and ILC 482 by 15, 34 and 10 percent, respectively, and fairly tolerated -16°C at farm conditions. At controlled conditions of cold room, the mentioned line had considerable tolerance to below zero temperatures and its superiority has confirmed at on-farm trials. Regards to these results and protein assay trial Saral has been released as a fall sowing variety for cold dry land regions.

There are several methods to increase crops yield, including use of high quality seeds. Seed priming is a simple and low-cost method to increase seed quality, if be done right, will lead to increasing plant performance and yield. Seed priming treatment applied before planting to enhance germination parameters, seedling establishment and etc. Primed seeds get some physiological and biochemical changes before sowing that these changes will express in produced seedling and also whole plants. Benefits of priming including more and rapid germination, better seedling establishment, utilization of environmental factors, and resistance to adverse environmental conditions, better compete with weeds, earliness and increase quality and quantity of the products. Despite these positive features, the biggest flaw is that primed seeds cannot be stored and should be planted immediately after priming. It is a reminder that important parameters such as osmotic potential of priming, priming period, the temperature of the priming solution, priming aeration, control of pathogens during priming and drying of seeds after priming are factors that affect efficacy of this technique.

Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) or rhizomania is one of the most important and destructive diseases of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in the world. This disease is considered as a limiting factor of sugar beet production in Iran such as Khorasan, Fars, West Azerbaijan, Isfahan and Kermanshah. In order to develop of resistant variety, as simple and easy methods for disease control, a germplasm carrying the Rhizomania resistant gene was incorporated into the selection program in 2002. At harvest, desirable single plants were selected and S1 seeds were produced from each individual plant under cage in 2003. In 2004, each S1 family was test-crossed with a monogerm male sterile female. In 2006, yield trials conducted in a disease nursery in Fars province showed that a hybrid SB37×SHR02-P.4 was superior. This hybrid, coded as SBSI006, was further evaluated in naturally infected fields for disease resistance and root yield during 2008-2012. Results of combined analysis showed that the above-mentioned hybrid with a root yield of 76.12 t/ha was significantly different from the susceptible (Jolgeh, 41.08 t/ha) and recently developed tolerant (Zarghan, 49.12 t/ha) check varieties. The relative superiority of this hybrid as compared to the domestic varieties Zarghan and Pars in yield trials conducted in the field of sugar factories as well as research-extension fields of Khorasan province and also the frequency of disease resistance genes in 70% of the plants of this hybrid makes the hybrid suitable for the northeastern part of the country, considering that the disease agent has a high genetic variation in Great Khorasan province. The hybrid is a diploid monogerm variety tolerant to Rhizomania disease and is suitable for spring sowing. The growing period of this variety is 180 days with the most suitable sowing date being late March. The optimum plant density of the variety is recommended to be 120000 plants per hectare.
