Floral morphology and seed yield in two Indigofera spp. as affected by shoot clipping
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experiment was carried out to know the effect of shoot clipping on floral morphology and seed yield in two Indigofera spp. viz. I. tinctoria L. and I. suffruticosa Mill. All parts of shoot including the main stem were clipped at 60 cm height from the base at 120 days after sowing (DAS). At 120 DAS, I. tinctoria already exhibited 1 flowering while I. suffruticosa showed no flowering. Shoot clipping had significant effect on almost all floral morphological features in two Indigofera spp. Flower raceme and pod raceme were fewer in clipped plant than in unclipped one. Shoot clipping altered the size of different floral parts to a great extent. The seed yield was decreased in clipped plant than that of unclipped one. Shoot clipping decreased flower and pod size and seed yield in two Indigofera spp.

The narrow genetic variation of bread wheat is one of the limitations to improve it for drought-tolerance. The research carried out to study the responses of different genotypes and traits to imposed moisture stress. The plant material comprised of 10 Aegilops tauschii accessions as well as a tolerant (BW2) and a susceptible (BW1) bread wheat cultivar. To assess the root and shoot-traits, two s...

Fescues (Festuca spp) are widely distributed in the temperate regions and are used for turf, forage and soil conservation. Though seed traits are important measures of the effects of endophytic fungi on their host, little information is available in this respect for Festuca. In this study, endophyte-infected (E+) and endophyte-free (E-) clones of the six fescue genotypes were used to investigat...
