in order to have a successful breeding program, it is important to determine the relationship among the traits. this study was conducted at research farm of isfahan university of technology to evaluate relationships among some of the agronomic and physiological traits and grain yield of ten bread wheat cultivars in optimum and stress moisture (irrigation after 70±3 and 130±3 mm evaporation from...

Campabadal, Carlos A. Ph. D., Purdue University, December 2013. Ozonation Systems as a Non-Chemical Alternative for Stored Grain Protection. Major Professors: Dirk E. Maier and Richard L. Stroshine. The use of ozone as a non-chemical alternative in stored grain protection was studied by conducting scale-up demonstrations using a fixed bed ozonation system and developing a semi-continuous counte...

We investigate molecular evolution in a star-forming core that is initially a hydrostatic starless core and collapses to form a low-mass protostar. The results of a one-dimensional radiation-hydrodynamics calculation are adopted as a physical model of the core. We first derive radii at which CO and large organic species sublimate. CO sublimation in the central region starts shortly before the f...

Mixed sand- and gravel-bed rivers record erosion, transport, fining signals in their bedload size distributions. Thus, grain-size data are imperative for studying these processes. However, collecting hundreds to thousands of pebble measurements steep dynamic high-mountain river settings remains challenging. Using the recently published digital grain-sizing algorithm PebbleCounts, we were able s...

Cereal Chem. 73(6):744-750 Lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica), red flour beetle (Tribolium flour beetle caused some off-odor. The other three insects caused little or castaneum), rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae), saw-toothed grain beetle no objectionable odor, even though infestation was heavy. High concen(Oryzaephilus surinamensis), and rusty grain beetle (Cryptolestes fertrations of 2-p...

The present study was conducted to explore the magnitude of genetic variation and mode of inheritance for some quantitative traits among the sixteen genotypes of chickpea at Arid Zone Research Institute, Bhakkar, during the Rabi crop season 2012-13. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The data regarding eight important quantitative tra...

Abstract An efforts to increase soybean crop productivity are highly related of nutrients availability and crops management. This research was conducted investigate the plant tolerance index (TI) mycorrhizae role P in a dry land. Factorial randomized block design that consists mycorrhizal factors (0, 5, 10 15 g inoculant per plant) cultivars (Anjasmoro, Dering 1 Grobogan) repeated three times. ...

Before selecting genotypes for nutritional quality characters (protein, oil and micronutrients content) and anti-nutritional factor (phytic acid), it is important to know how much selection is likely to affect yield. Using a diverse range of genotypes, relationships between quality traits with yield and yield attributes in pearl millet were investigated. The number of productive tillers, panicl...
